Blakely is ONE

Dear Blakely,
I cannot believe that one year ago...we were nervous and excited to know the gender of the baby inside my tummy. Not to mention...would God give me enough love to love another baby. Within seconds of the doctor placing you in my arms...my heart lept with joy and I felt my heart grow bigger that instant...It was filled with all the love I have for you and your big brother. This year has been so much fun. You gave us a run for our money for a few months in there..from 2 months to 4 months, you struggled with formula and what your tummy wanted and could handle..after figuring all that out...you have been such a happy baby! Words cannot explain how lucky I am to be your mother. Your smile is contagious...and you light up the room when you walk in. Your little personality has come out so much! Unlike your brother, you do not go straight to someone...you like to really check them out and you will talk and look at them...but leaving with them is another story. You really like being with mama (and that is alright with me)! I thank God each day for blessing me with two beautiful children who are healthy. You and Brock are my world and I love you each so much!

Blakely, I am still tickled PINK that God decided to give you to us. You complete our family in so many ways. I love that you are such a girly girl. Even at one, you love your pocketbook, necklaces, and babydolls. You love trying to put on any one's clothes to dress up. You love to accessorize and you can spot some jewelry on someone within seconds. I love your kisses and smiles and I look forward to many more fun times together...I love you so much and I hope you realize just how much you light up my world!

i love you to the moon and back
Mama
