My Sweet Brooklyn,
Today you turn one...ONE, and I cannot believe it! 365 days ago the Lord changed our lives for the better when he fully entrusted you to us. I was in shock the moment I saw your full head of BLACK hair, and totally in love with all 7.3 lbs of you! You were the little girl that mommy's heart longed for and the Lord so graciously provided.
Over the last year we have watched you change SO much. For starters, that black head of hair fell out and now you are a little blondie. Your big bright blue eyes have faded into a bluish-green, so so beautiful. And you have went from a toothless grin to a mouth full of teeth! You've learned to roll over, sit up, crawl, stand, and walk...all in a year's time! You have learned to talk, how to pout to tell us what you want (ha), and how to hold your own against your big brother ;). And my have you stolen our hearts.
You are full of life! Your spunky and feisty personality are areas I pray the Lord redeems for the good of His glory and kingdom. And behind all that drama there is the sweetest little heart who loves to cuddle, make us laugh, and smiles at just about anything. You love life, and it is contagious!
Your favorite things are playing chase, riding on your rocker, or ride on toys outside, bubbles, playing in the water, playing dolls or with Brayden's toys, copying everything big brother does, making people laugh with your scrunchy nose face and tickles. You love the swing and the slide at the park, and honestly, you really just love being outside. You love being read to, sung to, and rocked to sleep (I cherish those moments). You like to sleep (just like mama). You will eat almost anything but your favorites are all kinds of berries, mac n cheese, hot dogs, zucchini and broccoli, yogurt, ice cream, and puffs.
You are 21 pounds and 30 inches tall now, my have you grown from the little peanut you were!
You are all girl, but tough, and I love it! The way you hold your baby dolls and give them hugs just melts my heart, I pray you will always love being a little mommy. And animals, my goodness do you love them, especially those "doggies". You see them, point and start running as fast as those little legs will carry you towards them- you definitely get that from daddy ;).
Sweet Brookie, we adore every inch of you, and are beyond grateful to the Lord that you are ours. We pray often that you would love Jesus more than anything and that He would give you a new heart that desires Him above all else. May we exemplify Him and may He captivate you with His love.
Happy first birthday sweet love,
Mommy
