One.

Ana,

You're one! How did that happen?! Thanks for making motherhood so pleasant. You are cuddly and smiley and sweet. You sleep at night so well - always have. You love to rock and be sung to and you really love being wrapped up in a blanket...while hugging your pink bear lovey. Classic baby. 

Your favorites are, "Hi!" with a little wave of the hand, some pretty good kissin, "mmmm-mwah" and maybe my fav - your emphatic "Yaa-eah!" You love to cheer on your big sister - finishing lots of her doings with clapping and "yay.."

We love watching more and more of your personality come out. How you are ridiculously sweet but you've got some crazy stored up in there too! (Your father is so proud.) Witnessed most often by your crazy dances while leaning against the wall or looking in the mirror and your endless obsession with the fireplace followed by your bopple head move. 

And, you are really, really beautiful. It's breath taking. 

My prayer for you Ana is that you'll always rest in the kindness of God and let that lead your peace and sweetness. May you grow to hear His voice at an early age and love justice and mercy. I love you so much!!! We celebrate today and your life with such! joy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANA GIRL!
