Yesterday, my baby girl turned 1! You always hear people say how fast it goes by but truly it does! Although, I already knew that - my oldest will be 10 next July. DOUBLE DIGITS. Makes me so sad how fast our children grow up on us but at the same time, so excited to see who they will be.
Jeff said this about Jayden turning one... And it's so spot on!
There are things that make you question life, makes you question mortality.. makes you question things like have you had a great life or have you just lived.. have you done all you could for others, or have you just done for yourself. .. days like today make me question everything about the way I have lived my life and still I wonder how and why I have been so blessed.. what have I done to be so lucky to have a family who could love me unconditionally with wanting or expecting nothing in return.. how could I be lucky enough for my baby girl to be turning one today... As much as I love it, I hate it.. I remember almost delivering Jayden myself.. doctor was late, nurse was scared and freaking out.. her head was almost out and the doctor walked in. I held her in my arms for the first time and my heart felt full for the first time... I knew at that very moment life had changed. Instantly I was scared to death.. what happens to her if I screw up.. for the first real time ever someone depends on me completely.. her success is based on mine as a dad. In that field I have no choice to Excel.. no choice to push both my girls to the fullest.. but today I'm so happy yet teary eyed, today my baby turned one year old.. She's gotten so big in a year. She's developed such a personality. So independent, but she loves unconditionally. She loves her mom and sister, her grandparents, heck she even loves to kiss her reflection in the mirror... but the face she makes when she sees me after waiting all day the way her eyes light up and the crazy big smile.. or the way she won't let me go on the days I have off alone with her.. those are the ways she tells me she loves me. .. She's rides her rocking horse and bounces on the couch.. she dances on the floor to just about any tv show theme song.. These are the things I love the most.. and its the reason why I don't want her to grow anymore...As of today my baby girl is one, I may not like it, but I'll except it. Heck we made it this far.. The rest should be easy right..lol. #scaredtodeathbutcantwait
He always has a way with words. Even though Jeff may seem tough.; when it comes to his girls, he is a big softy. (but you didn't hear that from me!)
Anyways, our baby girl is now 1. She is so ornery, so full of spunk.... She loves to share, mostly with the dogs. We are so blessed to have her in our lives, really truly, don't know what we'd do without her!
