Happy 1st Birthday Taylor

My sweet little Taylor Reese,

Happy Birthday baby girl! It's hard for me to believe that a year has passed. Clear as day, I can remember calling your Daddy to tell him that I was in labor and he needed to come home from his basketball game, so that we could go to the hospital. I was so anxious to hold you in my arms and couldn't wait to see my baby girl.

It's no surprise that I wanted a daughter and from the very beginning I knew you were a girl. Call it mother's intuition, but when I learned I was due March 28th, it confirmed my belief. You are named after my cousin Taylor and her birthday happens to be March 28th. It was just meant to be.

You are loved by so many people. Your older brother, Mason, just adores everything about you. Even when you were in my belly, Mason would kiss you good morning and goodnight. Nothing has changed. From the minute I go into his room in the morning, the first thing he asks it see his baby. I love that he runs in your room each morning to wake you up and say hi. It makes me so proud and I just hope and pray that you two remain close and great friends as you get older.

You are very much a Daddy's girl. He cannot enter a room without you crying to be in his arms. It melts my heart. You are the apple of his eye. A girls first love is her daddy. I absolutely love that when he gets home from work, both you and Mason get so excited to see him. I hope it never changes.

I could stare into your baby blue eyes for hours. You are beautiful! There isn't anything that I wouldn't do for you and I hope you know how much I love you. I thank God daily for you and I pray you are blessed with many more birthdays to come. Happy Birthday baby!

Love,
Mama
