Dear Baby Girl,
Happy Birthday!
Another year gone by since you came into my life.  Watching you grow is amazing, you are amazing!

Will I be that tall? So happy with her balloon Finally got a smile I'm coming for that camera! Balloons get the thumbs up! I'm gonna get that plant Just over 15 Months The cutest little frog I did not have a Jelly Doughnut! All the snow, but she plays on the slide First Hair Cut

Over the past year, you had a number of firsts – You had your first ride on a “quarter horse”, you played skee ball for the first time, went into the ocean, got your first hair cut and more.  And now I even tag this post with toddler, but I’m still calling you my baby girl! Read more of this post
