It's a magical thing the first year of life. So much happens in such a short amount of time. You started out so fragile and little. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first held you because of the miracle it all was.
And of course you had a lot of fighting to do before you could even be home with us.
As hard as those first weeks were, they were spiritually special and something that I won't forget. It opened my mind, and heart to a lot of things that I couldn't have known any other way. You continue to teach me things as you grown and learn about life. Daddy and I will always be your biggest supporter and love you through all the ups and downs of life. You are our special miracle in every way, and we know God has a purpose and a plan for you! We LOVE you baby girl!!!
Even though you're our biggest baby (weighing in at 17 lbs, which puts you in the 20%), we can still fit you inside a tiny locker. You can thank daddy for this. |
Sitting and rolling like crazy, but no crawling or walking. You pulled yourself up in the crib for the first time the other day so that's big news. |
