Today my baby girl turns ONE! It has been such a blessing to have her in our lives and I have been so humbled to have a second chance of being a "first time" Mother. I had the chance to experience a "normal" delivery, a "real" homecoming day from the hospital and special early outings with her in the Soup Bowl. In those first few months I got to experience every wonder without a second of fear.
From day one I truly believed Carly was an old soul. EVERYTHING Carly did she did like she had done it a thousand times before. From eating to playing to walking - nothing actually seemed difficult or unfamiliar to her. Her eyes always seemed familiar and comforting to me.
There is a clothing brand called "Just One Year" and when you become a parent you quickly understand the true meaning of that.
Just one year to experience & share every FIRST in her life.
Just one year that she will probably allow me to dress her in everything I want and not what she demands!
Just one year that she looked at me like I am the most beautiful thing she has ever seen.
Just one year of eating everything I gave her, sitting in her high chair and car seat without a battle and having the time of her life in the bathtub.
Just one year of unsolicited kisses and hugs.
I am hoping I get a little bit more time on some of these special days but for now I will cherish what I have gotten to experience of just one year.
Happy Birthday Carly!
