HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY ABIGAIL!

Dearest Abigail,

At this exact time, one year ago today, you came screaming into this world and changed mine and your Daddy's life forever.  You were beautiful, perfect, healthy and everything we had been dreaming about for the previous 9 months.  We both loved you from the second we laid our eyes on you.  Your Daddy was so gentle in the hospital when the nurse handed you to him.  And he was so watchful as you got your first bath and waited in the nursery for Mommy to recover from surgery.

This has been one of the hardest, best, craziest and maybe the most wildest year we've been through.  We've had our ups and down's and not a whole lot of sleep, but we sure have loved the ride.   You won our hearts and we wouldn't change a thing.  We got a crash course in learning to be parents, and you have taught us well.

Each month you change and grow.  And each phase you are in I sometimes think to myself that I'd wish you would stay just this age because I love it and I couldn't possibly love the next stage any more.  But I do.  Every time.  Every day I love you more and watching you grow up and learn new things every day is absolutely one of the most amazing things to see.

I look forward to many, many more years.  Happy 1st birthday sweet girl.

Love,
Mommy
