Today you turn 1 year old. My how time has flown by. I can't believe it's already your birthday.
You are such a beautiful and strong willed little girl even at your age. But your simply beautiful.

When I was pregnant with you, I was so upset and angry. But I couldn't imagine my life without you. I feel so guilty for not embracing my pregnancy because you were my last.
You cry so much and I get so frustrated with it because nothing we do makes you happy. It takes a lot to make you smile and stop crying and it's always because you are constipated. Then I feel bad for being so upset, sometimes I can't help it and I'm thankful that your so sweet and loving that you always forgive me with a hug and a slobbery wet open mouth baby kiss. You don't know it or realize it, but those are the BEST kisses ever. One day when you have your own baby, you will understand what those kisses mean and how fabulous they are.

I am in so much awe of your beauty. From the day you decided to make your entrance to the world, (even before in a 3D ultrasound) you are a spitting image of your big sister. I am so excited to watch you grow older and see if you continue to look like her or if you take your own looks.
Speaking of the day you where born, you decided when it was time to come. And you made it know it was time and you were the boss! I was so excited to finally meet you. When I first heard you cry, I cried with you. You were simply stunning.

That picture was your debut picture to the world. And I was so excited to finally hold you. That was the first picture I took of you and I immediately shared it with Facebook. Everyone said you were beautiful and you had the chubbiest cheeks. I have to agree. I still like to eat your cheeks.
And then there's those perfect piggies.

I love me some baby feet!!
Your learning everyday. Your newest being sticking your tounge out while saying mama! Oh goodness, when you first said Mama I think my heart stopped beating for a moment. That is music to a mamas ears. You made daddy feel special when you said dada first. Both of his girls had that as their first word and it makes him feel great. You may not know it yet, but your daddy is AMAZING!!
Miss Vanessa, you bring joy and light to my life everyday! I'm so thankful to have you and I am so blessed to be your mama!
I love you baby girl! I can wait to see what the next year brings.
Happy 1st Birthday Vanessa Lynn!!
