Dear Harlow...

Dear Harlow,

Today you are one.

Can you believe it? I can't.

 I have so much to say but I have no clue where to start...

The tears are already starting to fall.

Tears of complete and udder joy.

So many thoughts are going through my head right now.

Overwhelming. Yes.

Thankful. Beyond.

My life from September 24th, 2010 at 1:34 a.m. has been nothing less then amazing.

I have spent every second obsessing over you.

You are Perfect. As perfect as God makes them.

You are Beautiful. Nothing can compare.

You are Smart. It's the most amazing thing to watch you learn and grow.
My love for you is endless.

I wish you could stay little forever...

or I could freeze time.

This year has gone by in a blink of an eye.

I have cherished every second, every breath, every moment.

Every moment has been a miracle, a miracle from God.

Life doesn't get any better then this.

I don't even remember life before you...I don't ever want to.

Being your mommy is what I live for.

This past year has been exciting and bittersweet.

It has been easy.

Yes, I said easy. You are the best baby.

You will always be my baby.
My little girl.
My mini me.

You have a smile that can light up a room.
Your laugh is contagious.
Your personality is becoming more unique with each day.
You are becoming you...
Exactly who you are supposed to be.


I hope you never lose your curiosity or forget how to be a child.
Seeing things for the first time all over again through your eyes is a miracle in its own everyday.
I hope you will always know how much happiness you bring to our family...
And how much you are truly loved.


You are one amazing child...
And we are blessed.


I remember the exact feelings I felt just one short year ago.
Except this year I get to look at you and hold you.
With that said...

I have fallen in love all over again.

Happy 1st Birthday sweet girl!
I love you,
Mommy

I am your parent, you are my child
I am your quiet place, you are my wild
I am your calm face, you are my giggle
I am your wait, you are my wiggle
I am your dinner, you are my chocolate cake
I am your bedtime you are my wide awake
I am your lullaby, you are my peekaboo
I am your goodnight kiss, you are my I Love You

I miss...

Blog 1 - Me 0

As Harlow gets older the less time I seem to have to get on the Internet.

Of course I still have time for facebook updates and being nosey in other peoples business. Isn't that why face book was created? No? Okay... It's just me then. :)

I don't even post as many pictures to facebook anymore because my little bugaboo moves wayyyy to fast for me to even get good shots.

Hence, why we hire a photographer who can capture those shots that our measly point and shoot can't manage.

No promises but I will try to do better with checking in every once in a while.

Be looking out for a little blog redesign maybe.

And maybe a name change.

The wedding is almost here and over with, thank goodness!!

Here is too a new beginning!

Who am I kidding.

I need to take baby steps.

We will see what tomorrow brings! :)

Love,

Merinda
