We welcomed the most beautiful baby girl (Jackson is the most beautiful baby boy, obviously) into our family.
Happy 1st birthday, Scarlett Maeve!
This past year has gone by so fast, and it has been a joy to watch you grow and change. It’s hard to believe you’re already one, and we are so lucky to have you as our daughter – even if you are pretty rotten. 
Let’s just say you live up to your namesake.
Your first encounter with Mommy’s camera:
In your green crib, painted for you by Daddy, at the expense of some brain cells…
1 month old, and you’d already stolen all of our hearts. You are Jackson’s sweetie pie, and he is the most wonderful big brother to you already.
Look at those tiny little feet!
Your first run in with Mommy’s holiday shirt obsession…boo!
your second run in was no less scary… why do I do these things to you? You were the perfect Max, though.
I really do enjoy torturing you, it seems. And holiday apparel.
Second only to my love of holiday apparel: Strasburg baptismal gowns. It’s probably 99% of the reason you were baptized. [just kidding!]
Starting your love of the best store on earth [Nordstrom] early! Interestingly, the Nashville Nordstrom has it’s grand opening today. Coincidence? I think not!
I have no doubt that you would rock the presidency. You wouldn’t be a bad princess, either – everyone around here jumps to do your bidding!
A sports fan already!
More importantly, you’re a Boilermaker already. And you’ve learned the most important lesson any sister can learn – brothers are so WEIRD. Now you know your job – to boss your brother around. You’ll learn from the best, of course! [Me]
See? You caught on early – Jackson’s pushing you while you enjoy a good swing.
SIX MONTHS OLD?? It can’t be.
Yes, I made you wear a giant sequin flower on your head. And trust me, I’ll do it again.
7 months old and you’ve already perfected this face? You are so advanced. I’m SO proud!
There really are no words for how beautiful you are.
Growing up a little too fast – playing with other kids at the Children’s museum? Weren’t you just born?
If it’s up to these three guys, you’ll never go on a date.
You may not need Jackson, or Daddy, or even Bumblebee to protect you… I think you might be able to handle that all.by.yourself.
11 months old, and it’s starting to become real that you aren’t going to be a baby much longer. But you’ll always be MY baby.
The first picture of the second year of your life…
As you sit next to me, trying to eat my iPhone, I realize that it won’t be too long before you have your own cool gadget (maybe the iPhone 20? ha!), and I look forward to the rest of your life. I can’t wait to spend the next 60 years getting to know you and seeing the amazing woman you’ll become. I have no doubt that will happen.
Happy birthday, Scarlett! I’m sure one day this might embarrass you, but what else are mothers for? 
I love you very much,
Mommy
