Okay so mama's a little late, here. You're actually 1 year, 1 week, and 3 days old.
I remember so clearly the day you were born. The hardest day of work I have ever done in my life with such a sweet reward at the end. Looking at your tiny face; your deep eyes, long eyelashes, button nose, and red lips. I was in awe. I couldn't understand how something so perfect was mine. Just like an angel.
Over the past year I've tried to do the best I could by you. I want to give you the best of everything. The most love and interaction. The coolest toys. I've watched in amazement as you first smiled, rolled over, and laughed. I watched you learn to sit up, stand, and play. And on your first birthday, you decided that you were no longer a baby and took off walking. You're practically running now and I am still amazed at every step.
Some days I wish I could bottle you up just the way you are. But I also thought that when you were a tiny, sleeping baby, and if I had done it then, I wouldn't see you the way you are today. Every day gets better and better.
April, I simply cannot put into words how much I love you. You will always be my precious peanut, my pumpkin head, my baby snacks, my princess. I love your hugs and kisses and smiles and laughs. You're so smart and fun. God has truly blessed me with such an incredible little lady.
I look forward to many more years of being your mommy.
Happy Birthday, April Noël!
Love,
Mommy
