WOW ! Happy Birthday Annie – love you ! And your momma and daddy too. Can’t believe how time moves so fast, and we are happy to have it with you and to know Maddie is smiling over us. XOXO
Happy birthday, Annie! I love the slideshow – she’s a baby, and then all of a sudden she’s this hilarious character with dramatic expressions and a sense of humor. You guys create some seriously photogenic daughters.
This is beautiful, happy BIRTHday Heather & Mike, and a very happy 1st birthday to your precious Annie. I know the joyous occasions can also be the hardest, as Maddies absence leaves a space that is unfillable. Annie may never remember this day but she will be SO proud of you for choosing to LIVE your lives filled with love for your girls. Hugs from Ireland xx
Beautiful video in tribute to Annie’s first year. And OHMYGOODNESS (!): WHERE DID THE YEAR GO?!?! I mean…seriously?! It literally flew right on by. Thank you for letting us get to know sweet Annabel, as you let us know her big sister.
What an amazing little girl, I have grown to love. Not that it was hard. =o)
Happy 1st (early) Birthday, Annabel! =D Know that your greatest gifts are the parents that love you beyond measure. Enjoy that cream puff sweet babe!
P.S. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday too. So the 22nd is an extra-special day! ^o^
Awesome video! I had forgotten she had so much hair when she was born…no wonder it is so full now! Wow! LOVE all the infant shots on her tummy with her rump in the air…those have always been my faves!
Love the video and OMG, it’s amazing how much she’s changed in only 1 year. From such a teeny tiny little baby to a little girl right before our eyes. Love you Annie…Happy Birthday, tomorrow!
Heather & Mike,
You have a year full of beautiful photographs, love the cocoon one, I wanted to send one of those to you when she was born I just love them.
So nice!! Was that Mike playing? If so, WOW – SOOO GOOD!!! I cannot be happier or prouder of the litttle family I feel in love with over 1 tiny, beautiful, special girl!!!! Thanks for sharing…it’s been ONE HELL of a Year My Friends!!!!! Love, Jenn
What a fabulous tribute to Annie’s first year! She is absolutely beautiful and it’s wonderful to see her growing and developing her personality. Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves with those of us on the web. You inspire me in many ways, every day.
Hugs from a friend you’ve never met –

Such a big girl ! A year already ! Miss Personality has the most captivating eyes. Kudos to Mom and Dad for all the great photos and videos. I’m sure the Birthday girl will have a great day ! Love to all of you from all over the World.
Thousands of people you’ll never meet held their breath in anticipation over your birth a year ago. Since then, we’ve watched you grow and turn into a beautiful girl.
Congratulations to your parents on making it thru a year of ANNIE, and here’s to 100 more.
Happy Birthday little lady.
She is so beautiful, so loved, and so treasured. Happy birthday to Annie, and to her mama and daddy too. Maddie is celebrating her sister’s big day in heaven I’m sure.
I know this day is bittersweet for you, Heather. There are no words that can help. But know that we are here, and you are loved and thought of.
You have so many amazing photos of her- you do a great job documenting her life so you can look back on every precious moment I need to get better at photography before I have kids!! I sure wish when I was a baby there had been digital cameras- it would be awesome to look back on a slide show like this. Annie is lucky!
Thank you for sharing Annie’s first year with us. I am a lurker & don’t typically comment, however your story inspires me daily and I send prayers your way frequently. Thanks for including us in your life.
Happy birthday! The three of you deserve all of the happiness in the world. The video was amazing…every picture I was saying “oohh! that’s my favourite! no this one! no this one is!”
Happy happy birthday Annie! I have loved sharing your first year through your mom’s blog and can’t wait to see what things you come up with in the next one…I have a feeling that when you start talking you are going to have a LOT of very funny things to say.
Thinking of you all on Annie’s birthday and wishing Maddie was there to “help” Annie open her presents.
Annie, it has been such a privilege to follow your story these last couple of months. I am so excited to continue into your next year. Your mom’s blog has changed my life, and YOU are a huge part of that!
what a beautiful video you guys put together…love it.
can’t believe how much she’s changed in 1 year, i’m so looking forward to seeing her grow. she is such a precious and beautiful little girl.
happy birthday sweet annie..and i wish you many, many more
Happy birthday to my favorite online baby! Those pictures are great. She looks a lot like Maddie in many of them, especially the ones when she was really tiny. =)
And I cried, because my little baby will be a year old in just 7 weeks.
Happy Birthday, sweet Annie! Tell your Mommy and Daddy thank you so much for sharing your life with us here on the interwebs. You are such a beautiful girl, and I feel lucky to be watching you grow up.
Love to Miss Annabel on her special day. I loved watching her grow and shine in this video! She’s so gorgeous and has such a spark— here’s the Annie’s first birthday!
Happy First Birthday Annie!!!! I can’t believe it’s been a year. And you are such an amazing gorgeous little girl. And I was wrong that hands down is my very favorite Video Friday.
Thank you for sharing Annie with us. She’s such a doll baby. I especially loved the pictures at 1:16 (the fist killed me!), 1:27 (the Valentines pictures – awwww), 1:57 (her mouth – there are no words! LOL) and her nine-month block picture (priceless).
And what a year it was… Happy birthday Annie… You did well, so did your parents. You have learned so much in that year. You are a true little person, you walk, you dance, you play with Rigby….
Have a great birthday!
OH sweet sweet girl…HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIE!
The video reminds us of how fast they grow and change that first year!
And how much fun you have with her. She will look back on this and see where she got all her inspiration for a fabulous sense of humor!!
Got the chills seeing this…so wonderful! Makes me wants to have another baby! Happy Birthday sweet Annabel…I’ve enjoyed watching you grow and change through this wonderful blog!
And on a separate note–being very non-tech savvy, what program did you use to create this video? I want to make one for my husband for our anniversary.
Delurking to say Happy Birthday Annie!!! I can not believe she is one already. She looks exactly the same as she did the day she was born, just more squeezeable. It has been so much fun to watch her grow. Have a wonderful day tomorrow.
Happy Birthday Annie!! It really sweet to see how much she looks like her big sister in some of these photos…I bet Maddie is smiling down on her little Sis all the time.
I am in awe of your will to go on. You had a horrible thing happen and although everything isn’t “okay” you are living a wonderful life with your daughter. You are amazing parents and your girls are blessed by you…as are you by them.
happy Birthday Sweet Annie! Just watched the video with our 4 month old Grant & he was in love talking to Annie in her movie. I can’t wait to see pictures of this great party you planned! Will there be creme puffs too?
Happy birthday Annie!!
What a very lucky little girl you are to have the parents that you do! …and what very lucky parents you have to have a girl like you!!
Was that Mike playing the background music? It was just perfect!
HAPPY B-DAY ANNIE. It seems like all babies born on the 22nd of January are just a little extra cute and adorable, I should know cause I was born on that same day! Have Fun!
On a side note, thank you Heather and Mike for sharing Annie with us. For the last year you have made me laugh and you have made me cry (teething hurts!) Thank you because you don’t have to be so open with your life or with Annie. I look forward to reading your blog before bed (it’s my nighttime ritual actually, a cup of tea and the Spohrs) and Annie’s daily picture. So thank you.
And Annie, have a wonderful first birthday baby girl! I’m sending you a virtual present and a big big hug!
Happy Happy 1st Birthday sweet girl! Heather and Mike, thank you for sharing her with us. I’ve loved watching her grow. The video is priceless. Hope you all enjoy the special day tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Annabel Violet! Even a complete stranger can see and hear the sunshine you have brought back to your mama and dada’s hearts. It is so lovely to see. Such a big job for such a little girl…but here’s the thing, your mommy and daddy love you so much that you will always be your own girl and they will love just for being you! Your Maddie Moo is so proud of you! Happy, joyous day sweet girl!

Happy birthday Annie.. it’s been so great getting to watch you grow up! Even though I don’t “know you” I feel like a distant proud aunt.. I so need to send you a super loud toy! (You see.. that’s an aunties dutie.. lol)
You can definately see Annie’s personality in those pictures, spunky and sweet at the same time. I especially loved seeing the monthly pictures at the end and hearing the song Daddy played for her. Annie Spohr you are loved by so many people I hope you’ll always know how much you mean to so many people. Heather and Mike thank you for sharing your inspiring story with us. I can’t wait to read all abou the party – have a GREAT day!
