Sweet Nola

Your birthday is my birthday.  When I celebrate you, I celebrate the birth of motherhood.  Becoming your mom has been intense, full of surprise, and nothing but sweet love. 

You walk.

You jibberjabber.

You smile.

You love water.

You love Nate.

You are such a girl.

You bring me so much more joy than I ever thought possible.  This mommy of two has a full heart.  Working so hard, this first year of your life to make sure that I did give you my best, it is rewarding to celebrate you today. My purple tutu baby. I carry your heart, my sweet sweet love bug.

Happy First Birthday!
