My view: February 1, 2012.
Pretty spectacular, huh? And this is nothing compared to what the rest of the month holds. I’ve never been a fan of February but I already know it’s going to be my favorite month this year.
Happy 4th birthday to the little lady who taught me the true meaning (and feeling) of instant, without hesitation, unconditional love, Miss Autumn.
Baby girl, it’s been said time and time again but you are the most special blessing that I have ever known. You came into this world four short years ago and instantly changed everything for our little family in the most magical way possible. You are the best.
You are growing up so quickly and have become such a delightful little girl with a great big personality. You are smart and brave and sweet and polite. I know you worry about a lot of things (I can relate, girl) and I love how sensitive you are. You have a big heart and I am just one in an army of people who will do anything to protect it. You bring endless joy to your mama & daddy and you are the best big sister to Harper. You are the absolute light of your g-ma’s life and I cannot tell you how excited she is be living so close to you now.
I want you to continue to explore the world and be curious about everything. Put your brand new library card (pictured above) to lots of good use. Snuggle with the dogs and your sister as often as possible. Make lots of friends in school and be kind all your classmates and teachers. Don’t talk to strangers, stay away from peanuts and bees, and stop biting those tiny nails of yours. Be unique, be yourself, be happy.
And never, ever question how loved you are.
I love you. Happy birthday!
