2nd to last page in her book...this is Kelle's signature shot and let us be honorees too! Thanks to Steph for the cute socks and Kelle for the heels. Kelle did a spinoff to this shot with Skye, Bailey and Lainey. Prepping for this shot was like getting ready for prom where wardrobes were discussed, clothes were flying, backdrops installed and everyone was running around frantically excited about all the poses Kelle could come up with! Lily was fussy, ready for a nap, not wanting to sit and smile for the camera...until Kelle pulled out the ultimate prop that Lily had never seen or tasted before....

This'll be the last page in the book; it's one of my favorites for its meaning and simplicity!! Thank you to Kelle Hampton for capturing our love for our Lily!!
Our entire year can be summarized in 3 little words that aren't little at all...

Oh, My! I love the pictures of her every month in the chair with the bear. Where did time go. She is so lucky to have you and David as her parents.
Hi Kelly,
I've been reading your blog for a while (you were several weeks 'ahead' of me while I was pregnant) but this is the first time I am commenting. Congratulations on Lily's birthday - such an amazing milestone! My girls just turned one a few weeks ago (even thought I was 'behind' pregnancy-wise, they were born 9 weeks early - so we are 'ahead' birthday-wise;) - so I know how amazing it feels!
YOu all seem like such a wonderful family and Lily is so lucky to have you as parents!

the book is beautiful. she will tresure it forever. can't wait for book two...lol!
Cannot wait to hold this book and look all the way through it! Your heart's gunna skip a beat when it arrives...I'll never forget the day I brought Lainey's book to CPK with you and Katie the day I got it...Lily was like three weeks then...remember?!
Still laughing at the "I am three months old today" picture because...seriously. That's a doll, and you know it. 'fess up.
I have been following your blog for months...the book is amazing...I wish I had done this for my Claire. Lily is absolutely darling!
oh my....your one year book is beautiful and i could just feel the love you put into making it. what an accomplishment. hope little lily's first birthday is everything special just like her!!
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome Kelly! Love your pages! You are SO good at that! So creative. I especially like the page with the 12 boxes of Lily each month!! Such a great idea! Leah
That is such a beautiful thing to do. Your photos are gorgeous and what a great thing to have :-)
OMG, OMG, very impressive. You should be so proud of yourself for putting this together for your baby. The book is breathtaking because of your hard work but mostly because of the gorgeous girl and family you have. Congratulations
LOVE. IT.
Those last few pages, there are no words.
congrats on being a full time mommy and finishing your book on time!! that is a HUGE accomplishment!
I just found your blog and WOW, that book is so awesome!! Lily is such a cutie pie and is so lucky to have such loving parents. How did you do it? I would love to try to make something like that for my babies but I can't imagine how much time it took. I love it!!
It's hard to grasp how fast a year can go. When I hear you say "happiest year of my life" my heart is warm with happiness that my baby is so happy. Lily is the most beautiful miracles of all miracles. The pictures that capture her sweetness make me melt.
She is happy, you are happy, and all of your family is happy because of this new member of our family. What could be better?
Love,
Mom
I am speechless! It is all so beautiful! You did a great job!
your book looks awesome- good work, mama! Can you believe our babes are almost a year old?!?! Crazy!!! Your little sweetie is so beautiful!
The book is incredible.
You are an incredible Mommy for making it for her.
I know you pored over every picture, agonized over every graphic and color scheme, wrote and re-wrote every line in that book...and then spent even more time on just the right font.
It is perfect, Kelly.
PERFECT.
Mom always told us "you don't have to be perfect"...
but this time you were.
A perfect First Year book for the most perfect baby in the world for you and david.
For all of us.
Oh, I LOVE her!!!!!!!!!
xoxo
