Dear Ava,
My sweet girl, it is so hard to believe that one year ago today you graced the world with your beautiful blues eyes and dirty blonde hair. Your birth was a whirlwind and went so quickly, who knew that the year to follow would be to. The moment I heard your sweet voice, I knew my world was perfect. You were perfect. I watched you sleep on my chest, as there was no other place you wanted to be, You were so tiny, your breath so soft and sweet. You were mine, as I was yours.
As each day has passed, I am amazed at how beautiful you are. Your personality and smile light up the room & my heart. You are soo smart & stubborn & independent. I love how your eyes light up when your Daddy comes home & how he has to hug you before doing anything else. I love the way you giggle at Zoe when she does silly things. You have such a wonderful giggle. You aren't walking just yet, but if you get a hold of someones hand, you will walk up a storm. You and your sister are two peas in a pod. I hope that you two grow to be best friends. You talk alot, but your favorite thing to do is mimic people when the laugh. You are laughter fills my heart with joy.
Every night before I lay you in your bed, I look at you sleeping on my chest, not soo tiny anymore, but your breath still so soft and sweet. I remember back to the night you were born and I smile. I smile at you and I thank God for giving me you. You are mine, as I am yours.
Happy 1st Birthday Ava!
Love,
Momma
