Just found this in my email. I wrote this letter to my angel on her first birthday!!! It made my heart smile.
My dearest Carleigh,
Today is your first birthday! I know you wont remember your first year so I thought I would write you a letter filling you in on all the big stuff. This is going to be hard because to me everything you have done has been so exciting. I was in labor all day long. It was long and hard but so worth every second. The moment I saw you face I knew what true and undying love really was. When we brought you home from the hospital I had never been more happy in my life. I stayed home with you for about seven weeks. It was tough at first because you had a hard time adjusting to eating. We had to put you on special formula to keep you from getting sick and once we did that you were the happiest baby on the planet! When I went back to work you stayed with big momma in the afternoons until daddy gets off work.
Your first outing was exactly one week after you were born and we took you to the bowling alley! This was your daddies idea... not mine! Everyone there fell head over heals in love with you. You spent lots of time in the bowling alley this year. We even went to say hello to everyone tonight for your birthday.
When you were about 4 months I started feeding you cereal. Then at about 5 months you started eating fruits and veggies. You took to em like a pro! I have some of the best pictures of you trying peas for the first time. Lets say you were less than thrilled about them. But after you kept trying them they became one of you favorites. At around 7 months you started cutting teeth and we gave you bitter biscuits! You loved them. You were also a huge fan of baby toast! You still eat the baby toast almost every morning.
When you were about 7 month old we took you on your first vacation to New Mexico to see daddy and the team bowl in the national tournament. We drove all the way there and back, just you me and daddy! It was so much fun. You were so good in the car and barely fussed at all. We stayed in Carlsbad on the first night and walked the cave in the morning. Daddy straped you in to the baby pack and walked you all the way down the cave. I think you liked most of it. About half way down you fell asleep in daddies arms! It was the cutest thing I had ever seen. So that you would have something to remember, big momma bought you this cute little bat that hangs upsidedown and the wings open and close. You played with it in the car the rest of the way to Albuquerque Big momma and big daddy rented a beautiful house for us to stay in. It was a great trip! We all had so much fun!
Well there are a million other adorable things you have done, but it is time for me to go to bed. It was a long day full of all your birthday festivities! You are growing up so fast! I cant believe how smart and beautiful you are. I want you to know that no matter what happens in our future, I will always love you with every inch of my heart. You are my life and I will always be proud of you!
