As I write this, I think about where I was one year ago at this very moment. Daddy and I had just eaten leftover fajitas in front of the tv. A pretty typical night. I had no idea that in less than 12 hours I would be seeing your sweet little face. That in less than 12 hours, my life would forever be changed. What a year it has been! It started out a little rough for us both. You didn't want to wake up to eat, and if I'm being honest, I didn't want to be around you that much. Now the complete opposite is true! You love to eat, and I can't get enough of you. You have brought more joy and happiness to my life than I ever thought was possible. Your smile lights up a room. You charm everyone you meet. You are the most beautiful baby I (and countless others) have ever seen. You are simply perfect. God exceeded every single one of my prayers when He gave me you. I love everything about you. I love the way your eyes get squinty and your nose gets crinkly when you smile. I love hearing your sweet little voice when you talk with such conviction like you know exactly what you're saying. I love the way your bottom lips sticks out when you're about to cry. I love the way you touch my eyelashes because you think they feel funny. I love the way you twirl your foot around like you're drawing circles in the air. I love the way you dance when you eat. I love your little giggle. My sweet girl, I can't imagine my life without you, and I fervently pray that I never have to know what that's like. I am so thankful for you. Never doubt my love for you. Also never doubt God's love for you. My heart can only hold a fraction of the love that His can. I will do everything I can to point you to that love every day by the way I treat you. I am so excited to see the plans He has for you as you grow. Happy birthday, sweet girl. I love you!
Love always,
Mommy
