Chapel was born happy. As a baby, she was never overly fussy or demanding. She found great comfort in mom and dad, of course, but she also appreciated her alone time and could entertain herself rather well. She loved playmats, her crib and mobile and her toys and books. Chapel was our first baby and there is something about your first baby that teaches you the meaning of family. Being responsible for a whole other person changes you like nothing you could have imagined before parenthood. I loved Chapel the first time I saw her.
Chapel when she was 3 months old!
On her first day at Ashely Hall. She had just turned 2. It was a bittersweet day when she started school.
Chapel is very mature and turning 6 was so important to her, that we decided to let her choose what she would like to do. She decided on a slumber party with friends and a family party with cousins and grandparents. Wary of a slumber party, I convinced her an extended evening playdate that started at 4 and went until 8 would be ideal- perfect for pizza, cake and playing.

Play time!
The family celebration was held on Saturday. Chapel choose Jack's Cosmic Dogs for lunch followed by present opening and watermelon and cake.
Aunt Crystal and the cousins gave her some cool clothes from Justice.
PaPa and GiGi gave her a plane ticket to Germany so she can go with me in September to visit Aunt Meredith. I am beyond excited for this mother/daughter experience.
Happy Birthday, baby girl. I love you more than pictures and words.
