Happy 1st Birthday, Abigail Joy!

Happy 1st Birthday to my darling daughter, Abigail Joy! 


In the past year, you have brought so much love into my life. I am proud to be your Mommy! I can't believe it was only a year ago that your daddy and I went to the hospital to bring you into this world. You were the most amazing gift I have ever received and while I was surprised that you were a girl, I couldn't imagine my life with anyone else but you. You have continued to surprise Daddy and me every single day in the ways you are growing and learning. Your awe and wonder of this world are amazing to see. You just can't get enough of the great outdoors. You have a tender heart and a thoughtful disposition. Your sense of humor is so fun! I love your silly games of peek-a-boo and the way you love to climb all over the couch cushions and roll down them. You bring joy and laughter to our little family. Abigail, Mommy could never put into words how special you are, how loved you are, how perfect to me you are, but know this: I love you with my whole heart and it is you who made me a mommy first. You will always be my little, baby girl and no matter where this big life takes you, I will love you and love you and love you with all that I am. In the words of Nancy Tillman:

"So if you're still my small babe,
Or you're all the way grown,
My promise to you is you're never alone.

You are my angel, my darling, my star
and my love will find you, wherever you are."

Happy Birthday, Baby Girl. 

Mommy loves you.



To The Moon And Back,
Mommy
