The Big 1

Chloe,

Here I am thinking of you on your birthday...
How you put large handfuls of spinach lasagna in your mouth, then in your eye, then in your hair and have no clue what an absolute mess you are
How I can't change you fast enough and have to put the diaper on as you crawl away
How you fell asleep in my arms last night for the first time since you were a newborn
How determined you are and how you climbed your first step after 5 minutes of trying
How quickly you can climb up the steps
How playful you are and your adorable laugh
How you love watching Noah and crawl after him
How you shout and squeal when you are happy
How you cry when you have to leave the tub
How much you love avocados and anything with a crunch to it
How you love the sand
How you crawl to my feet in hopes of me picking you up
How you sniffle back at me when I sniffle at you
How you say"mama" and "uh-oh"
How pretty your eyes are
How much you have made us love having a little girl
How I love holding you
How I'm going to miss these days tremendously!
Happy Birthday my sweet girl!
