looking back over the past 12 months...

ClaireBear,
Today is your very 1st birthday....hard to believe. One year ago today at this very minute* you were born and placed right into my arms. It's amazing to look back over the past year and see all the changes you have made. You went from a tiny baby to a little girl in just a matter of months. It's been a joy for us to watch you grow and learn. Every milestone was miraculous to us....rolling over, your first baby food, crawling, sitting up, laughing, smiling, waving, talking, and most recently, taking your very first steps! You're a true blessing in every form.

blessing: a favor or gift bestowed by God, thereby bringing happiness

Happy 1st birthday! We look forward to making many more memories with you.
