my 1 year old

 

Dear Isabelle,

I can’t believe a year has already passed. Twelve months ago today they placed your tiny 6 lb, 12 oz body in my arms, and my life was forever changed. You have taught me so much about myself and about life. You have made me a stronger and more resilient person. Motherhood has had its struggles, but it has been so rewarding to watch you grow, to see you accomplish new things, to see you grasp new concepts. You are my wild child. My stubborn and sassy diva. My clever and curious explorer. I love you. I love seeing you light up and smile. I love hearing you laugh and talk. I love the way you say, “maamaa.” I love seeing your personality develop. I love the way you run to me when you’re scared, the way you know I’m your safe place. I love that you are mine.

I will forever be your fierce protector. I will always work to do what is best for you and make sure you have the opportunities to reach your highest potential. I will love you, today and always. 

Love,

Mama
