Two little words, time flies. That simple phrase is so profound yet so incredibly true. My little baby girl turned one on Sunday and it brought a whole flood of emotions. First, nostalgia. Matt and I found ourselves asking each other at several points during the day on Sunday, 'What were we doing a year ago right now?' Whether it was sitting on the couch (in major pain!) watching 'The Deadliest Catch' for three hours while I was in labor before we left for the hospital (which again this last weekend there was a marathon on pretty much the whole weekend long!), or sitting in my hospital room with tons of family and friends while I was feeling VERY good with my epidural in, or holding our brand new baby girl in our arms for the first time. Then there was some sadness thinking about how much Allie has changed and how so many stages have come and gone. Then utter joy. Allie is the joy of my life. Her little smile melts my heart in a second and every time I look at her sweet little face I just can't believe that God chose ME to be this beautiful little angel's mom. I am so freakin blessed! And last, excitement. I cannot wait to continue to watch Allie grow. Her little personality is really coming out now and she is so much fun to interact with. My prayer for her is that she will always know and feel loved...by both Matt and I and our families and friends, but most of all by the ONE who created her and the ONE who will truly never ever leave her. I love you Allie Grace, Happy Birthday!!!
