You were just born. I could swear it is true. I can remember holding you for the first time, kissing your sweet head, and calling you my Grace. My angel.And yet here we are celebrating your first birthday. How can this be?
It is still hard for me to believe that I have my baby girl. How can this precious angel belong to me? What did I ever do in my life to deserve such a gift?I had dreamt of you for so long that even after the ultrasound confirmed that you were a girl I couldn't believe it. It all seemed too good to be true. Grandma even bought you your first little, pink outfit to help me believe what she knew all along. I hung that outfit up and stared at it everyday. I pictured how you would look in the pale pink shorts and the soft cream top. I wished it was a few sizes smaller than the 12 months Grandma bought so that you could wear it right away. But those 12 months went faster than I could have imagined, and now here you are. You are wearing that very same outfit looking more beautiful in it than I could have ever dreamed.
You are more than I thought was possible. You are sweeter, and funnier, and smarter, and more beautiful than my dreams would allow. You are absolutely magical.
Please, sweetheart, don't grow up too fast. Let me savour this. It is too good to let go by so quickly. Let me hold you a while longer. Let me snuggle you to sleep. Keep giving me those wonderful hugs and kisses. Keep jabbering your silly talk. Make those sassy faces all you want it just makes me want to smooch you more. Slow down, honey. You don't need to grow so quickly. This past year has gone way too fast.
My light. My angel. My little girl. I am so proud of you. I love you with all of my heart.
Forever my baby. Forever my girl.
Forever your mama.
Happy Birthday.

Oh my word! Is she really ONE?! :) Happy Birthday, Grace!!!! :)
Hard to believe that she is already a year old -and just as pretty as she can be, especially in that little pink outfit!
Unfortunately, they do grow up way too fast! My oldest is now 43 and my "baby" will be 35 come February but what's more, my oldest grandson will be 13 this WEEK and my younger grandson is already 4! Where the heck does the time go? How did they get this big, this old, this fast!???
No wonder I'm feeling my years more and more every day!
Happy Birthday to Grace! She is so adorable and looks so much like her mama!
Awww, sweet girl! Happy 1st birthday to her! Such a bittersweet day isnt it?

This is my first visit, and I'm green with envy. Your fourth was a girl? I got yet another boy -- but I do love them. (Maybe someday, I'll have a granddaughter!)
