Happy Birthday Baby!

Dear Presley,

Happy birthday baby girl. I can't believe you're one. You have made me so happy. I love your smile. I love your big gorgeous eyes. I melt when you put your arms around me and your head on my shoulder. I love that when you want something you say "mama, mama, mama, mama, mama" over and over and over. You say it even if I am not around. I love rocking you to sleep at night. I love how you try to climb into the bathtub. You lift your chubby little leg in the air and grunt like you are working so hard to get in there. I love that you do not mind when I pour water over your head to get the shampoo out of it. I love how you shake and kick your legs when you get excited. I love how you can hold something in your hand for a hour without ever playing with it or dropping it. Just as long as you get to hold it, you are happy. I love that you like to just sit in my lap sometime, no matter what I am doing. You just want to sit with me. I laugh when you shake your head no when I ask for a kiss. I just take it anyway. I love how you try so hard to put your own shoes on your feet. I love that you try to put your clothes on by just wrapping them around the back of your neck. I love how you love your sister. I love how determined and stubborn you are. I absolutely love everything about you.

You are an angel, and I am so lucky to be your mommy.

I wish we could go back to last February and do this year all over again. It has gone by too fast.

A year ago I was worried that I would not love you enough. I thought that there was no way I could love someone else like I loved your sister. Boy was I wrong. I am madly, deeply in love with you.

Happy Birthday Baby!

Love,

Mommy
