Rose is ONE!


It was so surreal today to see my Lilypie ticker wishing Rose a happy 1st birthday. It seems like just yesterday that I started the countdown to her arrival. I remember that it seemed like forever until she would be born. And today she is ONE!
Words cannot describe how much I love my little Rosebud. I think she is the most amazing person in the whole world! I adore everything she does, every little sound, motion, laugh, and cry. I love that I am usually the last person Rose sees before going to sleep for the night, and I am the first person she sees in the morning. I love that she is ticklish on her thighs. I love that she doesn't want to be away from me. I don't want to be away from her either! I love that she makes herself laugh in the car. I love that her favorite food is raspberries. I love the way she sucks her two fingers and rubs the silky part of her blankie on her cheek. I love that Rose still wants me to hold her bottles. I love that Rose still loves being rocked to sleep. I could go on and on forever.

I hope that Rose will continue to thrive and that she will love her little sister when she arrives in May. I pray that these two girls will be best friends. I can't wait to see what this year has in store for Rosebud...I know it will be a great year! Happy birthday to my precious angel and thanks for making us the happiest parents in the world!!
