Whew, this has been the fastest year of my life!
Saturday, my little baby turned 1 years old!!!
What happened to the last 12 months of my life...
well, there has been a lot of learning, crying,
developing, growing and that was just me.
No, seriously, this has been the best year of
our lives. Scott and I can hardly believe
that it went by so quickly. We are sooooo
grateful for the many tender mercies and answered
prayers. You would never ever know that Anne
was a premie baby. She is absolutely perfect.
Our little Miracle.
A year ago I sat in the NICU holding my perfect
little baby (7 weeks earlier than I thought I would);
I whispered to her that I was so excited to be her mom and
that I had so many things to teach her. Then an overwhelming
feeling came over me that, I would be the one learning
from her. How true that is. She has taught me so much
about love, laughter, letting things go, enjoying the
simplicity of life, how to listen to the Holy Ghost,
how to have greater patience and most especially
about true JOY!
She is a miracle in our lives daily. Her smile blesses my
heart thousands of times a day. We love her!
We are soooo very grateful that she is ours forever.
Being a mommy is the greatest blessing I have
ever enjoyed. Happy Birthday, Anne!
Above is Anne, one week old. Below is one year old.
Same outfit.
Anne had cousins, uncles, aunts and her grandparents
at her party. Thank you everyone for coming.
We love you!
She was so excited about all of her gifts. She gets
excited about the smallest things. I love that about her.
And I love that she loves her little baby doll and
kisses her all the time. What a cute little mini momma
She was such a lady about eating her cake, she
would take a little frosting flower one at a time
and taste it. She got into it, but still was a lady
about the whole thing.
