Happy First Birthday!

Happy First Birthday Alexandra Rae!





Alexandra,
Here it is, a whole year after you decided to make your early grand entrance! I never thought I could be a daddy, but the moment I first saw you, I knew I was wrong all those years.

You have shown me what true love really means. Every day I'm thankful your mommy came into my life and you are the perfect little embodiment of the love we have for each other.

I love your fuzzy little hair, I love your cute little nose. I love your big gummy (and a little toothy) smile and I love your laugh. I love your head and I love your toes.

For all of your life, you will have a daddy who loves you, protects you, believes in you and supports you in everything you do.

Happy first birthday my sweet Alexandra. I love you and always will.
Daddy

Alexandra, my sweet baby girl...

One year ago my life changed forever. You came into this world and gave me the greatest gift ever. You allowed me to become a mommy, your mommy. The first time I laid eyes on you, I knew my life would never be the same. My heart melted as I took in every single detail of your beautiful little face. You were absolute perfection. I loved you more that I have ever loved another person and now, one year later, I can not even put into words how much that love has grown. Every single day you make my life better than I could have ever imagined.

I could sit for hours and watch you sleep. You are an angel...tossing and turning, because a peaceful sleeper you are not! The excitement you show when you see anything makes me smile. You are determined, affectionate, silly, and just plain wild sometimes...everything I love rolled into one adorable little package.

Baby, you made our family complete and Daddy and I would do anything in the world for you. You are my love, my life and my happiness.

Happy first birthday my sweet baby girl.
I love you,
Mommy

She's beautiful! Been a long time since my "baby" was 1--she just turned 14.

I am a wife, a mother, and a graduate student. I’m currently researching mommy blogs, and I found your blog. I would appreciate your input about why you blog! If you would participate, please visit my blog—http://reflectionsofasheepishlion.blogspot.com—and answer my questions in your comment.

Thank you, and God bless you.

J, I love the whole year done month by month and I especially LOVE the notes from you and Josh. I don't think that baby will ever know how much she is truly loved by not only you two, but by all of us that have the pleasure of knowing her. She is so lucky to have you and Josh as parents and it's so awesome to see how ya'll are with her. I'm so proud of both of you and love you very much. thank you for sharing her with us as often as you do. xoxoxoxo
