Maddie,
Well, Today you are turning one! The time has flown by and I
have had the privilege of watching you grow. You are a sweet, beautiful girl
that loves life and about everyone who will hold you. There has been so much
that you have learned to do, including walking by the time you were 10 and a
half months old and mimicking sounds (you already said Elijah and yellow).
Some of my favorite memories of you this past year are the
simple everyday ones. I most often get to put you down for the night. Every
time we walk down the stairs, you reach your hand up so that you and I can
touch the ceiling and, in the mornings when I get you out of the crib, you
greet me with your smiling face and reach up to try and grab the ceiling fan
cords. You love trying to play with those and I hope that never stop “reaching”
and “trying” for the things/goals you want in life.
You love your Mama and brother Elijah but you are definitely
daddy’s girl. I have been giving you lots of juice or milk because I love when
you cuddle in to me to drink it. You love being held but you are also a busy
and somewhat nosy little girl. You love getting into all the drawers and
cabinets. Right now, your favorite is the spice drawer and, while not quite
tall enough to see in it, you love reaching your arm up in there and grabbing
something from in there. It’s like a little treasure hunt for you.
You are and forever will be my darling little princess. It
has been a joy to have you in our lives. You have definitely made my life
better and sweeter. I love you from the depths of my soul and will always be
there for you, no matter what.
Happy 1st Birthday, my little Princess
Love,
Your Daddy
