Happy 1st Birthday Alexis


Alexis,

You are one year old today!  How on earth did that happen?!?!  It seems like just yesterday I was meticulously keeping track of every time you ate, slept, and pottied (newborn stuff).  You were so tiny in my arms, and made the sweetest faces.  I knew we would have a special bond from the moment I laid eyes on you.  Today, you are a smart baby/toddler!  You are so sweet and funny.  Your laugh is contagious.  Everyone that meets you comments on how beautiful you are and how gorgeous your hair is.  You still haven't gotten a hair cut, because those curls...they are just to pretty to cut off.

I can honestly say, I can not remember what life was like before you.  Nor can I imagine my life without you.  You have made this family feel complete and whole.  Your daddy and I adore you.  Alexis, you have your daddy wrapped around your little finger (I guess all is as it should be).  He just melts when you reach and coax for him to hold you.

I love how you love your big brother.  It is so cute how the two of you play together.  I hope you always remain close.  I know he loves you too.  Hud has come up with all sorts of names for you this past year:  Wooie, Gummy, Grummy, Munchkin.... Those are the ones he calls you the most.

I love you with all of my heart and soul.  I will love you until the day I die, and then forever after that.

Love,
mommy
