Rae of Sunshine: A Year Has Passed..

Today is my daughter's birthday! A day I have looked forward to for months!! On this day last year, I was only beginning my new life with her. And today, I'm continuing it. We've gotten past the "infant" stage, although she will ALWAYS be my baby, & entered the wonderful chaotic toddler years<3 Dun dun duuuuuun!!! LOL. It's been a hard emotional year and we've gotten through all of it together. She's so much more than just my child, she's my strength, my drive, my hope, and my faith. Since she was born we've never been apart for more than 4 or 5 hrs. I dread the day I have to leave her for school or work. :( I still cannot believe I created this beautiful little thing :') Her dark curly hair, big brown eyes, little button nose, lips identical to mine, beautiful hands that love to smack me, round belly I love to kiss, big ol "badonk" which she inherited from her mommy AND daddy, chunky strong "soccer player" legs, and smelly feet that I love to nibble on are just a few things that I adore. :) Along with all these physical attributes comes a personality with a punch! (Literally she punches haha!) She's got attitude that drives me insane but makes me laugh at the same time. She's one bossy lil thang! With this attitude, comes a heart of gold. She loves her family and shows it by "kissing" us which is more like a make out session. LOL. She's an outdoorsy type of girl and loves to explore the trees, grass, & flowers. She's very talkative and asks "What's That!?" everywhere we go. She loves her animals and refers to all the dogs, cat, & sometimes even people as "Ginger" (one of our Pomeranian/Daschund mixes). She goes around saying "Hi, Ginger!" to everyone. She loves HER song, "Layla" by Eric Clapton; she dances to it every time she hears it. She's such a joy to have around and I seriously don't know how I existed without her. Today is OUR day to celebrate and with that said we're gonna take a bath, get dressed in our pretty dresses and enjoy<3
