Becca the cake monster
Happy birthday my darling girl…One year ago today you burst into this world full of life and wonder and have spent everyday since being the most amazing you. It makes me laugh now to think how worried I was that you would never you arrive! You see you were ‘due’ two weeks earlier but you decided you weren’t quite ready yet, Finally around 3 in the afternoon on the day after Independence day nonetheless you finally decided to start some contractions that this time would not fizzle out. Around 10 that night it got intense enough that I needed your daddy to help me. Then at 3:17 am you entered the world, less than an hour after we arrived at the hospital. I’ll tell you what girl, once you made up your mind you were not slowing down for anything. In honor of your birthday we watched the video of your first days yesterday. Wow I forgot what a little peanut you were. Even as a newborn you had the biggest brightest eyes I’d ever seen. You well full of personality instantly. When most newborns want to sit and snuggle you wanted to be held up so you could see the world. You loved being a part of my Bradley classes and really were a lot of fun to have as my living demonstration doll LOL. You have been the most fun and perfect addition to this family. I was so worried about how we would manage three children so close in age yet you made it easy. You taught me how to be a better mom. This whole year I never once wished for you to hurry up and do this or that. I knew just like your birth you would choose when to start walking and talking and everything else. You don’t always do it on my timeline. I was prepared to nurse you without introducing solid foods well into 9 months, but around 7 months you decided you were ready for solids and there was no denying you! It is the same with most things in your life. When you decide you want something you will go after it with all your might. You are now walking and even talking a bit. You love your daddy more than anyone else on the planet with your brothers coming in a close second. You and the boys will just sit and giggle at each other, it is quite adorable. Today I caught you chasing after Nate while Alex was chasing you. The three of you were laughing so hard I can’t believe you were even able to run at all. I love you so much Princess spakle butt <3thanks for letting me be your mom.
