Birthdays

My baby girl turns ONE this week! Ahhhh, how did that happen? She is doing so many new things like speaking (favorite words include ‘mama’, ‘hi’, and ‘no’), waving, coloring with crayons, and she is THIS close to taking her first steps. But ONE. That is also THIS close to not being a baby anymore. And Bella? She will be FOUR this fall. Look, here were my girls a year ago:

And now look at them:

Dear Bella and Vivi,

All future birthdays are hereby canceled, as I am not allowing you to get any older. I am sure you will agree that this is a better arrangement all around. Also, you are not allowed to go away to college.

Love,

Mama

    Awwwww….your girls are sooo sweet!!! Love the letter to them…too cute! My little (okay, so not so little anymore) girl had her first day at high school yesterday and I was a mess all day thinking about how fast time flies!

    Happy Birthday Vivi!

    We need to tell our little ones to stop growing up! Your girls are gorgeous (as always) & honestly, I can’t believe little Vivi is already turning 1. I hope you have a wonderful little celebration, hugs to all x

    PS I plan on a HUGE reply email later this week; work is preventing it being NOW at the moment :)

    Oh man. I can’t believe it’s been a YEAR. Give my love to the girls! And you can always do like my mum and pretend the college thing isn’t happening. ;)
