Happy 1st Birthday K

Dear K,

Today is your 1st Birthday!  It's hard to believe that at this time last year you weren't even born yet.  As I'm writing this it is 12:49 pm and you were born at 1:30 pm.  We've had an amazing year.  Before you were born I tried to imagine what life would be like with you here, and nothing I could have dreamed of could describe the perfect joy you bring to our lives.  You've come a long way in the past year...from a tiny baby weighing 6lbs 14oz to a little person almost the same size as her big sister.  I love holding you, watching you, and am constantly amazed by everything you do & are.  You have such a sweet personality, but are a fiesty one who will not be looked over.  You want to do everything your older sister does, you want to be a part of everything that is going on, and sometimes get frustrated that you can't do certian things.  You will get there my sweet girl.  I enjoy ever second of my life with you and can't imagine not having you as my daughter.  Last year at this time your Great Grandfather & Grandmother,  who you are named for, were awaiting, with great anticipation, our phone call with the news that you had arrived.  All through your first year they were just as amazed at you as everyone else and words cannot express my joy that you were able to meet them, together.  While we were visiting Kenny couldnt' stop thanking Daddy P & me for bringing you to him.  He loved meeting you as much as he did your sister, and proudly announced your name to everyone who came into his room.  When I call your name, when I look at you, when you do certian things you continue the incrediable life he lived.  We are blessed to be your parents and blessed to have you in our lives.  We all love you my sweet little girl.
