I still cannot believe my newborn daughter has become a curious, affectionate one year old. It seems like we just brought her home from the hospital and with her personality we knew this year would be an adventure and boy was it! She changed all my expectations about the second child and has helped me become a more flexible, loving mother.
It has been so heartwarming to see the relationship between brother and sister grow over the last year. Their love for each other is touching. The day is filled with their mutual laughter, love (and sometimes tears.) I look forward to them becoming best friends through their many years together.
My daughter is nothing how I imagined, she is more amazing than I could have ever dreamed and I love her more each day. Isla’s kisses are one of the best parts of my day and I am incredibly thankful she is mine!
I love you sweet Isla, keep being you!
