We are in the car right now heading down to Ikea. You have so much that you need new furniture. I'm not even kidding ;) You're fast asleep in your carseat and look like a big kid.
The last two weeks have been a whirlwind. You turned one, had a birthday party, moved, went to New York for Thanksgiving where you played nonstop with you cousin Lila, and now we are prepping for your first trip to Disney. Even thought you sort of went last year.
It's amazing what a year brings. How much changes. This time last year you slept soundly in my arms all day long. You barely made a peep. You would stare at the lights on the Christmas tree while in your Moses basket. You were brand new.
A year later and you're mastering the world around you. You talk: baba, mama, dada, woowoo, whee and sometimes birdie. You bark? Give everyone a high five, wave and scream at strangers, clap, and dance to Adele like its your job. You have no desire to walk and that's totally fine. Everything in your own time. But... You simply amaze daddy and I on a daily basis. You're full of surprises and wonder. We watch the world thru your eyes and don't know how we ever got so lucky.
Our tiny Grace of God has graced us with much much more than just her presence. You have given us a reason to believe in the impossible. Given us the heart to push through what was told cannot be done. You are a miracle that we've held in our own hands.
There will never be a time that we won't be here for you. Fighting for you. Watching over you. Helping you learn, explore, and thrive. We will put the entire world in your tiny hand. We will love you forever and always.
