Journal entry by Taylor Ehlers

Our sweet Magnolia turned 1 year old on March 16th. Corrected to 9 months. 

She is now 21 lbs and roughly 26.5 inches tall. It’s getting harder to measure her as she wiggles and wiggles nonstop. She is still our happy girl and loves food. We haven’t found one she doesn’t like yet! 
She is continuing with therapy to improve her overactive muscle tone and reflexes. It seems we are finally making some progress. She thinks she is the funniest human on the planet 😊 

We chose not to have a big party yet to protect our peanuts health but will do so this summer. We did go out to eat as a family and she enjoyed some sweet potato fries and chicken and of coarse cake 🍰 

Mom has started a new travel contract so we have been on the move to Des Moines for part of each week. She is loving all the time with GiGi and she is the best little travel buddy! 

Last week we went to build a bear and created her birthday bear. She thought the fluff machine was pretty fascinating. Tonight I took her to get her ears pierced. She did great and barely even cried. She is a tough cookie! But I didn’t think this girl could get any cuter! 💕
