In
12 short months, you have had your first breaths, your first tears,
your first smiles, your first meals. Your first owies, your first baths,
your first friends, your first laughs. You’ve learned that
when you are hungry you will be fed, and that mommy and daddy are never
far from your bed. When you’re on your tummy, you’re moody. So forget
crawling; you scoot around on your booty! You’ve become strong willed
and curious. When you’re tired, you get furious. “Dada” was your first
word. No fair! It was mommy who labored! But you say “mama” now, and lay
your head on her shoulder. You’re not walking yet, but you are getting
bolder. When you enter a room, you give a high-pitched “hi,” and when
someone leaves, you wave bye-bye. Whenever there’s music, you wiggle and
twist. When you’re away at daycare, you are desperately missed.
One
year ago, you came into our lives with a roar. Now we can hardly
remember what life was like before. You came to us and we were blessed.
No matter what happens, you’ll always be our little princess.
Look how far you've come!
