Guess who has a one year old?!

I've been meaning to post an updated photo of my little Princess for a while now, but I still haven't found my bloody camera lead! So I just picked one out from the one's I had on my mobile and tried to make it look a little better than what it was. The quality on my phone camera is so crappy compared to my digital camera, but I just had to post a photo of my beautiful ONE YEAR OLD! I can't believe she is one. It feels like yesterday I found out I was pregnant with her, let alone gave birth. She is just so precious, I am so lucky to have her. This post is two days late from her actual birthday, but I've been busy spoiling her, ha ha.

Dear baby girl,

I guess I can't really call you baby any more, huh. It has been a whole year since the first time I saw your beautiful face. A whole year since the first time we met. That year has gone by in a flash. You were so little and helpless, you couldn't even hold your head up. Now it seems that within a matter of days you have learnt how to be independent, crawling and pulling yourself up on things, talking, playing on your own, etc. You are truly wonderful, and it is so magical watching you grow. You have completely changed in the blink of an eye. You have gone from a tiny little baby to a big toddling girl. It's mad to think that a year ago you could barely even open your eyes for long, and now you're holding my hands to walk places. My love for you has been growing for over a year now, and it will keep on growing forever. I can't get my head around the fact that you have been in my life for a year. It can seem like no time at all, and forever at the same time. I don't know where I would be if I hadn't had you. I certainly wouldn't be who I am today. I have you to thank for everything I've become. You are perfection. A whole year of it. And I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life watching you in awe as you grow older. On your birthday, at 8:45am, I sat in bed crying. Crying because I couldn't believe how big you are now, that it had been a year to the minute since you entered the world. And on your second, third, fourth, etc, birthdays.. I will be doing the same. I am the proudest mummy in the world.

I love you big girl,

mummy.
