Anna is ONE YEAR!

Dear Anna - 

You are 12 months old - 1 year old - 365 days old!  Craziness.



Here are your numbers:
Weight: 20lbs, 6.4 oz
Height: 30 inches (97%!!)


I cannot believe that you are already one and I cannot call you a baby anymore.  You are actually more and more like a little girl instead of a baby, so I guess it is for the best that I do not call you one anymore.  


This has been an emotional month, for many reasons, but every time I look at your little face, I am instantly happy. Thank you for that.  Thank you for making this last year the most exciting, challenging, exhausting, and satisfying year of my life.  You have introduced me to new things, taught me how to live a better life, and have given me an entirely new purpose.  I had goals before you came into my life.  I still have those goals.  They are just much more important to me now, all because of you.


I hope I can teach you how to love all things, be kind to others, and believe in yourself.  I hope this next year is as great as the last.  I hope we get to celebrate 100 more birthdays.

Happy, happy birthday!

Love you, 
Mom
