I wrote this shortly before my daughters first birthday...last year...hope you enjoy.
My first year as a mom...
I can't believe the time has gone by this fast. I will be celebrating your birthday in a couple of weeks, as well as my first year as a mom. The whole mom thing still hasn't fully set in yet. But no doubt in my mind you are my little girl and I love you with all my heart, more than I thought I could love any one person. It's almost scary to think that I have created you and I will now teach you about the crazy world that we live in and tell you the differences between right and wrong.
Over the past year I have seen you grow so much. It seems like only yesterday that I was bringing you home from the hospital and tending to your every needs. Waking up every couple of hours in the middle of the night just so you could get the nurishment that you needed. I have seen your first smile, first laugh, first crawl and your first steps. I wait patiently for your first word. Wondering what it will be...
Everything is so innocent and carefree for you right now. I wish I could tell you its going to be this easy for the rest of your life. By far life is not an easy thing to grasp a hold of and I'm still learning new things of myself everyday. It is what you make of it darling. You will meet people along the way that will remain your friend for an entire life time. You will see friends come and go. Thats the wonderful thing about life...unpredictable and you never know what tomorrow holds. Darling please don't grow up too fast and stay the sweetheart that you already are.
I love you...
