A year ago today at just after 11pm you were born into water in our family room. From the moment you began to emerge no one touched you but me. I scooped you up out of the water as you were born and held you to me, my beautiful baby daughter. Your Dad and biggest brother were the first to see you after me. Your big sister came in to meet you as soon as she heard your cry.
Your big brothers and sister think you are wonderful. They have adored you from the moment you entered their worlds. They love to play with you, to carry you around, to make you laugh. And you laugh very readily. You start the day happy and continue that way.
The psychic sonographer told me you would be an easy going and much doted upon baby. She was right. You take everything in your stride and whilst you are starting to show your frustration when you want something, and nappy change time is not something you love, you get over it so quickly and are giggling and babbling away in no time.
You have so many words already! You say Mummy and Daddy, you can name all your siblings, you chant 'happppyyyy happppyyyy' often and have just started asking for 'uppies' when you want to be held.
You sing in the car, loving the sound of your voice changing with the bumps in the road. It is the sweetest sound.
You love moving. All the time. You have been crawling for ages and cruising furniture and have just started climbing up onto things as well. I think you will be walking properly very soon!
We spend most of our days at home with your little big brother. You chase him around the house and he loves playing with you. You get very excited when Daddy comes home from work and the big kids get home from school too.You absolutely LOVE food. You drink water and milk from a sippy cup just like your brother and think you are very clever. I think you are too.
Dear baby the past year has flown by so fast. I can't believe my tiny newborn is so close to being a toddler already. You are a beautiful happy little soul and we are so blessed to have you.
I love you so much precious babygirl. To the moon and back.
