Most people that know me, know that my daughter is my
absolutely world - my most prized possession. She changed my life completely the day she was born and
nothing has ever made me as happy or as complete as she has, every single day. She was the
missing piece to our little growing family and there is nothing I wouldn't do
for her. Something about carrying a tiny human being in your belly for 9 months
and then getting to watch that little human grow into a little person - walking,
talking, laughing, and playing - it is such a miracle and the attachment you
feel as a mother is the most unexplainable feeling I've ever known. I can't imagine going a day
without her, not saying goodnight to her, or waking up without seeing that
beautiful smile. Nothing melts my heart more than a hug and a squeeze from my
little angel. She is a little piece of me; a huge piece of me actually - and she always will
be my number #1 girl. As her 1st birthday nears, March 23rd, I have mixed
emotions. I am so excited to watch her continue to grow everyday, but a part of me does not
want her to grow anymore or need me any less. I want her to be my baby girl
forever. It is so fun to watch her changing daily, learning new things, exploring the world around her, and pushing her limits to see just how far mom & dad will let her go.
My best friend's mom had a really great idea that I decided to pass on to Rylee. For her birthday, I got her a journal - hot pink and sparkly - her trademark (since I couldn't find zebra). In this journal I will write to her on every birthday, special occasion, important milestone in her life, and remind her how perfect she is to me & how much I love her at that very moment. When she's old enough to read and understand it, I will give it to her as a keep sake gift to look back on and be able to relive important feelings, excitements, and day to day life we had while she was growing up. I thought this was an awesome idea, and I'm very excited to start this for her. I think it will help a little with me getting over the fact she is turning ONE already & keep me focused on the exciting new adventures to come. Mama loves you, Rylee Rae!
Hold your kiddos tight today & let them know how much you love them!
Happy Friday :)
