Happy 1st birthday to my sweet daughter!

This year has been an absolute whirlwind and an absolute blast.

You have shown us what true happiness is and you bring joy into our lives every day.

You have 6 teeth, are walking laps around the house, and love animals.

You hug your doll everyday, scream with excitement all the time, and eat…a lot.

You are still nursing, love books, and always carry two or more toys at once.

You are full of personality, strong-willed, yet obedient, and smile 96.5% of the time.

You love all three of our pets, but Belle is your favorite and you tackle her daily, with a strong pat and a shrill of pure joy.

You love to love and cuddle, hug, and kiss, any chance you get (although right now, you only kiss the mirror, pages in your favorite books, and a few select stuffed animals)

You’re not a fan of the grass, can’t decide if you like eggs, and you still aren’t a fan of sleeping through the night (though you have done it a handful of times)

You make Mommy & Daddy smile, laugh, and constantly say to one another, “I love her so much”

Thank you for being the most perfect thing I’ve ever tangibly known.

Thank you for making me a mother.

Happy 1st birthday baby girl, I love you so, so much!

One of my favorites!

Her favorite doll

And the pictures went downhill from here; bugs, heat, Mommy was done too!

It’s her party and she’ll cry if she wants to! 😉
