Dear Chloe,
Happy 1st Birthday sweetheart! It’s hard to imagine that we have had you for a year now! It’s even harder to comprehend how much you have changed in such a short little time.
A year ago you were helpless and could barely move, now you can stand on your own, crawl really fast, and walk with the help of something to hang onto. A year ago you were getting your first bottle, now your working your way off of it. A year ago you had no teeth, now you have six and two more coming in. A year ago you could only cry, now you can say a few words as well as babble. A year ago you hated baths, now you LOOOVE them!
So much has changed in such a little time. I know a year ago, prior to your birth, I was very anxious while sitting outside the OR waiting to get that wave to come in. I can’t speak for Mom but no doubt she too was very anxious to see you.
I will always hold a special memory of the first few minutes that you saw the “real” world, and hope someday when your very much older you can experience what we did when you came into our lives.
Happy First Birthday Chloe, we all love you so much!
Love Dad, Mom, and even Gary.
ps Nana, Papa, Gramma, and Grandpa love you too!
