1 year old

It is so hard to believe the day finally came...my little girl turned 1 year old this weekend.  Where on earth did the time go?  One minute we are rolling over, the next we are walking around the house with a trash can!  This past year has been one of the most exciting, fun-filled adventures of my life.  So, with that I will leave my little toddler a note...

My Little Bird,

You are the most precious miracle of my life.  It is an honor to be your Mommy.  I have enjoyed every single minute with you.  Through all the "firsts" and definately not "lasts", we have established an incredible bond.  Your Big Blue eyes and ready smile are always the highlight of my life.  I still can't get over how funny you are!  And how intelligent you are and how much you love to work hard for what you want.  You are truly your Daddy's girl with your helping spirit.  You are such a good helper!  It doesn't matter the chore, dishes or laundry, you love being near us and lending a helping hand.  While you are a very determined and strongwilled person, you are also a very sweet, nurturing, giving little lady.  Everyday, in all different situations, I learn more and more about who you are. 

I am so very blessed to have you as my daughter.  I can't wait for all the stuff we can do together and all the wonderful moments ahead.  I pray everyday for you.  I hope to set an example of a worthy woman of God for you...I do not promise to be perfect, but I will always look out for you, love you, comfort you, nurture you, push you, hold you, listen to you, and much more. 

My little Bird,  I love you forever and always...

Your Mommy

We have a Walker

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Our little girl is no longer a baby...she is now entering the Toddler stage.  She has been walking exclusively since a week before her 11mth bday.  She no longer falls and reverts to crawling...she falls and picks herself back up to a standing position.  ***sigh***  Where did the time go?  How is this possible?  It just doesn't seem like she should even be able to  be a little person...But, Daddy and Mama both love each new stage, each new discovery, each new little thing.  She is the pride and joy of our lives.  We can't wait to bring little brother into our lives either.  xoxo
