Elizabeth is One

Dear Elizabeth,


Today you are one. We made it, kiddo – you and me. I can’t pretend this hasn’t been a tough year but despite the challenges, I wouldn’t change a single second of my time with you. You are mine, all mine, and I love your sweetness, your goodness, and your tenderness.

You have been the most even tempered, sweet girl – especially as a little baby, you loved to be held. We could hold you for hours and you would sit quietly and cuddle in our arms. Even though you are mobile now, you are still most content when someone is holding you or near you.

I love how you have smiles for everyone, even strangers but you still save your true excitement for us by kicking your legs and making your happy squeals and squawks. I love that despite your even temperament, you are fiercely independent and you know what you want -- whether it be the most expensive formula at Target, puffs, or bread.

It has been a joy to watch you grow and become the perfect fit for our family. Life has gotten so much better now that you are here to complete us. I can’t wait to see what you’ll do next.

Love,

Mamma
