Our little bambino is no longer a baby.
Happy birthday to our sweet, smart & beautiful girl, Caroline Ann.
You were born January 23rd, 2014. & at 7 pounds & 2 ounces, you had our hearts.
This year has been nothing short of amazing. I never understood what women meant when they said "you'll never know a love & bond so strong until you hold your child in your arms."
Now I get it.
Caroline has turned our world upside down- in all the best ways possible.
We have had many adventures. Everyday starts a new one.
Watching her grow has been one of the greatest gifts I have ever received.
Watching her discover & learn. Watching her explore.
Looking at her face and seeing "the wheels turn" brings a smile to my face.
Caroline, you made me a mommy. You're the best part of me.
The 12 month picture is the last of the monthly pictures. If Caroline only knew, she would be celebrating. She hates them. I'm talking red face, cow tears kind of hate.
