Dear Sweet Angelina,
I looked at you this morning and you looked different to me. You looked like you had grown over night, like all of a sudden, you woke up and you seemed like you were ten feet tall. (IMPOSSIBLE. I'll be happy if you break five. :))
Well today, Daddy and I went into your room to wake you up. That's something Daddy likes to do to get his special time, but today I insisted, please don't wake her up without me! And yes I said, WOKE you up, because like your mommy, you LOVE to sleep. We patted you and sung to you and said, "Angelinnnnnnaaaa", but you didn't really want to budge..
You FINALLY rolled over and stretched and made that pouty kissy face that you've made since you were in the NICU. It's the same face that Daddy makes when Mommy wakes him up from falling asleep on the couch at night to get him to come to bed. It's one of those sweet moments that I see your Daddy in you...and I love it.
We sang Happy Birthday to you and you smiled. You always smile in the morning. And what a beautiful smile it is.
But today is different. I still can't believe you are one. I can't believe that one year ago today we were so scared, so anxious, so happy and in shock at the same time, but we should have known that you had a strong will and an even bigger heart.
We had a normal day, playing, running around getting things for your party, gave you a little more cake and icing (since it was your REAL birthday). And had a lot of cuddle time and some Mommy and Baby talks..
And wow, what a blessing you are my sweet Angelina. You came into my world and stole my heart and continue to steal it every second of every day (and many more hearts, especially Daddy's).
But, What a year today marks and what a day tomorrow makes for you.
I love you, sweet sweet Angelina Rose.
Love,
Mommy
