365 Days of Beautiful Life: Happy Birthday, BabyGirl!
She's growing.
Hours turned to days, then months, now a year.
Months of misery in the shape of a healthy but pukey pregnancy.
Months of miracles in flutters then kicks than belly boogies.
I can still feel her on my chest for the first time.
Smell her, feel her cheek on mine, see those little eyes squinting into the light.
Snuggled under my chin, arms and legs tucked...
Beautiful pale skin, pink lips, bald head...
The course of time is stunning in the growth of my baby into a child.
In one year, from tiny to toddler.
No more guessing what she likes or doesn't.
She lets us know with a giggle or a fit.
Glee on her face when we walk in the room.
Favorite blankies, favorite foods...
"Mama"
"Dada"
"Uh-Oh"
"Hi"
All from the mouth of my babe who one year ago was just greeting the world.
Miracles, Memories and many more to come.
Happy birthday, BabyGirl, we love you as big as the sky and as deep as the ocean!
