One Year Letter to My Bella...xo

Written 3/1/2011..... You are my beautiful girl inside and out just like the meaning of your name. The love you have brought to my life is overwhelming. I remember the day you were born. You were so soft and pink and "happy"... even then. Daddy and I were so proud and loved you SO much in just seconds! Now a year has gone by and you continue to amaze us everyday. You are always smiling! Everyone comments at what a happy baby you are! I hope that's because we are such a happy family. Your daddy and I truly love each other and are happy with what are lives and relationship has become. I think you can feel that love so it makes you a happy girl.


I have learned that life is all about the little moments. Having you has made them even more special. Its the way you can look at me, the sound of your laugh, the smell of your hair, the softness of your skin. I love taking you all in! In a year you have grown so much! My little newborn who always had to nap on her mommy. Your first smile...is it gas?...is it really a smile? Yes, it was always a smile!! Giving you a bath for the first time. You have always loved your baths! Holding you so tight in your towel we always look in the mirror after your bath and you look so cute and smiley all wrapped up. Snuggling together during your feedings. Even now that you are on a sippy cup you still want to be snuggled while you are having your milk.


Music...as soon as you heard music and you were able to move around you would move to the beat! We say shake it, baby shake it and you start bouncing to the beat. We love listening to music. I always have soft modern rock on and Daddy loves his salsa. It makes us happy and you happy too! You give us kisses and hugs all the time. I love getting random hugs off you. You give your dollys huggies too! It is Sooo cute!

You are our little adventurer you used our chairs as a jungle gym in and out of the foot rails! Now that you are walking you climb on anything and everything you can. It drives me a bit crazy when I am trying to discipline you and keep you safe.

You have such a strong will Bella Boo! You know what you want and when you want it. I hope you are always this strong minded and determined to get what you want! You will be able to accomplish anything and everything you want in life with a wonderful personality like yours! Happy, Strong, Determined, Beautiful, little princess!
