Look out world, Callaway is 1!!

I can't believe our sweetest little girl is already a year old! She has brought so much joy and light into our lives that we can't even image a day without her.
Stats: 32 1/2 inches tall
25.7 pounds
has 4 (2 top 2 bottom) teeth.... and another on the top right coming in.
She loves:
to play outside
swim (she usually is trying to make us leave her alone so she can do it on her own)
giving kisses
giving loves but she's not sure of her strength (she is quite a bit taller and bigger than most kiddos her age so she tends to hug till her "hugee" falls down and cries)
waving bye-bye
mac 'n cheese
drinks--just like her mamma and daddy, she would rather drink than eat
SODA
going for rides (in the car, bike, stroller...if she can ride, she's in!)
shoes! (girl after her mamma's heart!)
get messy--daddy's girl!
take baths
TO SING!!!
TO DANCE (I have a dancing queen!!!, she can even get low....don't ask me where she learned that! :D)
meeting new people--she's the most social thing I've ever met!
playing with her best friends
her boyfriends (yes, we know...she has boyfriends--she's kinda a flirt!)
Callaway is mamma's chatter box and mom could not be more proud! She loves to play ball with daddy--he's now taught her to throw the football and to dunk the basketball (it's darling, she'll get a basketball and just stand under the hoop with her arms raised with the ball in hand so daddy can come lift her so she can dunk!). She is an amazing little dancer and if there is any type of music on, her little body gets grooving!!
Note from mom and dad:
Dear Callaway,
We hope you know everyday how much you are loved. You have brought so much love into our home, more than we could have ever imagined. We love watching the world slowing and gradually open up to you. The world is yours, so take every opportunity you can to learn and grow. Mom and Dad will always be there to give you the most opportunities you can but take every chance you get. You may get mad at mom and dad for giving you rules and boundaries but we promise, in the long run they will be beneficial (like not eating rocks or hugging too tight your little buddies). You will always have people around you that love you and will do anything for you. Be strong, be patient with mom and dad (we're learning too) and always know you will forever be loved!! You're amazing Callaway. Remember your potential as a daughter of the most high and remember always that you are His daughter too. Heavenly Father is just as proud and just as amazed at all you do, as mom and dad are. Your parents love you, your Heavenly Father loves you, your Savior loves you, and countless other *wonderful* people in our lives love you. We have been so blessed this past year to have you in our home and we're excited for a hundred more!!
Love you eternally,
Mom and Dad
