Happy 1st Birthday Sarabeth

My Dearest Sarabeth,

Happy Birthday sweet pie. These last 12 months have flown by, but I have enjoyed every minute with you. I am so thankful that Daddy works so hard so Mommy can be at home with you. I have loved watching you grow and learn this past year.

You are walking and climbing all over the place. You love to look out the window and bark at the dogs in the back yard. This morning you climbed into your Bumbo chair that I had set out to take to storage.

You are so full of surprises. You love to laugh and play chase anytime! The outdoors have become your favorite place to be. All I have to say is "bye bye" or "outside" and you make a bee line for the door.

I love reading to you and singing and dancing. You love music of any kind and will start dancing even when you hear a cell phone ringer go off!

You sleep about 11 hours a night and take 2 naps. We just started you on whole milk this week and you are doing ok so far. Getting you to trade in your bottle for a sippy cup is going to be a different story!

Sarabeth, I love you so much. You are a girl of many faces. Daddy and I just laugh sometimes at all the funny looks you give us. You speak to us through your face always.

I love these times but I long for the days when I could hold your little small body in my arms and snuggle with you. You are so big now and are constantly on the move.

We love you baby girl and can't wait to see what God has in store for us this next year with you.

Love,
mommy
