Bathtime with Suds in your Hair

Your Easter Dress

Its my birthday!

When you get older, you usually find yourself reflecting all that has happened since your last birthday.  And, usually that reflection gets more and more boring as the years fly by. But this year, my reflections are full of cheer. It was just over a year ago we learned of your conception and exactly a year ago we announced your existence to our friends and family. Since my last birthday, I found out about you, felt you grow in my belly, prepared for your arrival, brought you into this world, and have spent everyday of the first (almost) four months of your life with you. I have learned a new and powerful dimension of love as I have transformed into a mommy.  I have had some great years, but this past year has been my favorite. I look forward to reflecting upon how you continue to change my life for the best on future birthdays. Thank you, Annabelle, for the best year of my life.

I love you, little one.

Pictures - 3 1/2 Months

From a young age, you were able to hold up your head really well.

Really working on getting that head up high!

I love it when I can tell your gears are turning!  You were really trying to figure out the camera. 

 

You smiled like this a lot!  :)  I love that your eyes get squinty, like mine!

Playing with your daddy

 

 

This is actually how I remember most of the photo shoot going, but Hollie was still able to get some great shots. 

You were not too thrilled by the end of the photo shoot. 

This one was a favorite of your Grandmama and Mimi both.  You blow bubbles when wind hits you in the face.

You stick out your tongue... a lot!  

Tiny fingers

Cute little belly button

You have the most beautiful eyelashes!

Happiest Tears

Annabelle,

I don't think I have ever cried as much as I have since you were born... and most of those tears have been happy.  I can be looking at you as you nurse, rocking with you, or just holding your tiny hand in the backseat of the car when I am suddenly overwhelmed with the realization of how much I love you and how lucky I am.  The tears flow and the corners of my mouth turn into a huge smile as I thank God and your daddy for making me the mommy of the most perfect child to have ever entered this world.  Thank you for being my baby girl. I love you!
