We recently celebrated Helen’s first birthday. Whew–the first birthday is such a milestone for parents. It feels HUGE to have survived the sleepless nights, the teething, the etc. It just feels good. So I wanted to take a quick minute today to post a pic of Helen on her birthday, and a pic of her gorgeous cake made by the very talented Amber McKenney of Sweet on Cake.
And to my little girl, I know you can’t read this, but I want to say it to the world…You are truly a light. You have a brightness and a beauty and a fire inside of you that make me so excited to watch you grow. I already admire you and see so much in you that I wish I was. I cannot wait to watch and learn from your grace and excitement as you get older. You make me smile and you warm my heart. My favorite thing in the morning is to hold you tight and feel your warmth and love. Always hold tight that light and fire you have inside you very dear, little H. It will serve you well. Je t’aime.
