One year of lessons, milestones and sunshine

I've been thinking about this day a lot lately. As it got closer I wished for it to take its time to get here. I can't believe it's been 1 year already. One year since you came into my life and changed it completely. One year since I carried you in my arms for the first time and finally understood the love my own mom has for me.


They say that when the heart is full the words are few. That means I have to dig deeper and reflect longer to say what I really want to say. So here it goes....

Thank you baby cakes! Thank you for coming into my life and choosing me to be your mom. It hasn't been an easy journey but together we have become a great team ;-)

Thank you for brightening up my days or should I say my life. For teaching me the true meaning of unconditional love. All it takes is a smile from you and my mood completely changes. You are the sweetest girl! Your personality shines through. I love it! You're a though cookie. It's your way or the highway. Wonder where you got that from? Lol

Your are also very bright. You catch on to things quickly and you're quite the observer. At a year old you're already walking. I thought you were unstoppable when you started crawling but let me tell you I had no idea what unstoppable was until now. Your vocabulary consist of 3 words; mama, papa and nooooooooo.. You're hardly entertained by cartoons but you do love to dance. And gurrrrrllllll you have some dance moves let me tell you.

I could go and on but I would never finish and this would turn into volumes and volumes of books. I just want you to know that it has been a joy watching you grow this past year and I look forward to so many more years. I want to wish you the happiest of birthdays baby cakes! You have made our lives so very, very sweet. I carry your heart, little girl. I carry it in my heart.

Love,
Momma
