Happy Birthday Katie!!!

My little girl is one today. Time flies. I can't believe she's growing up. I love her so much. More and more everyday. She's learning so many new things, and I love watching her do them all. I remember being in the hopsital a year ago, wondering what I was doing, 20 years old with a crying little girl. But I'm getting the hang of this parenting thing. I think. She's brought so much happiness into our lives. Smiles everyday and melts my heart. She's off of formula now. She has enough for one more bottle. Then it's toddler food. I wanted her to walk by the time her birthday came around SO BAD, and now she's doing it! She toddles to where ever she wants to go, and it makes me smile every time. She's growing up so fast, but I don't want to stop time like most people say they wish they could. I'm exciting to see all her new stages coming up. I want the moments where she asks for every toy she sees at the store, where she can tell me what kind of a birthday party she wants, when she has her own opinions lol. (I might change my mind when the time comes and she's a bratty opinionated girl, but for now, I'm waiting for it lol). I love her more than I could ever imagine. I remember the first two months of her life where we had the wrong formula for her, and it was miserable. I remember how excited I was the first time she crawled. When she said mama, I didn't know if she was really saying it or not, but now I know she knows who I am lol. Walking I think was the biggest milestone for me. I was soooo excited!! Now she gets everywhere. She has made my life so difficult, and so exciting and loving all at the same time. I'm looking forward to spending the rest of my life being her Mommy <3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE! DADDY AND I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WE COULD EVER TELL YOU. YOU HAVE CHANGED OUR LIVES IN A GOOD WAY, AND WE'RE SO GLAD & LUCKY TO HAVE YOU. YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL! <3
