Happy Birthday, Adyson Ruth!

A year ago, on August 30, little Adyson Ruth Willcutts was born at 6:09AM. She weighed 8lbs and 13 ounces. She was pretty sick with an infection when she was first born, so she spent the next four days in the NICU recovering. By God's grace, she healed very quickly, and we were on our way home.

Shortly after being born, the pediatrician discovered that she had Hip Dysplasia, and that she needed to see a specialist right away. Over the next 3 months, she had to wear a special harnass to correct her loose hip joints. Again, by God's grace, this was corrected, and she is doing great!

Ady is such a blessing to Scott and me, and we can't imagine life without her. She laughs and smiles all the time, and she loves people. She loves to crawl and play with her toys, and she especially loves her pets Izzy and Charlie. This year has been full of adventures, but we have gotten to see God's amazing grace and His hand in our lives as we've started this journey of parenthood. Our prayer is that Ady will continue to grow in stature and health, but that she would also grow to have a tender heart toward the Gospel. We can hardly wait to see what will happen in this next year!

Here are her 1 year old pictures:






We love you, Doodle! Happy Birthday!
This weekend we had a birthday party in Loveland for Adyson. Thank you to all of the friends and family who came! What a blessing it is to Scott and me to have so much love and support as we raise Adyson. You were all so generous, and you made her birthday so special! We had so much fun! Here are some pictures from her birthday party. (I'll post another blog with more pictures next time.)
Waiting for birthday cake in her special Birthday hat!
Ahhh! The first taste! Mommy made this birthday cake.
Needless to say, Ady loved her birthday cake! She was so excited!
One of my favorite moments: Ady sharing cake with her cousin Azureya. She wiped it in her face! It was so cute!
One other favorite moment was when we all had just finished singing "Happy Birthday", Ady clapped really animatedly. I think she wanted us to sing it to her again! It was precious.

I will write one more blog hopefully tomorrow with some more pictures and stories so stay tuned!
Have a great day!
love,
me
