happy birthday olivia!

in about an hour and a half from the time i've started typing this post -12 months ago- my precious little

olivia evangeline was born. i can't even believe how quickly the time has gone. you think because of the experience you've gained, you'll have so much time to enjoy the snuggles when they're the littlest but sadly it just isn't true. every member of the family requires the attention of mama

so life just doesn't stop..even for a baby!

i wrote out my birth experience for both my girls so that every year on their birthday i could read and remind myself what a gift these girls are and what it took to bring them into this world. perhaps when they're older, i'll read the story to them too. having just read the story of how olivia was born..i'm taken back to that very day right down to the very last detail. its so surreal to think that she's 1!

so let us take a trip down memory lane and see how this little angel of ours has sprouted into miss 1 year old shall we?!

olivia, you are a blessing.

 you will never know how many times my heart melts when i look 

into those beautiful blue eyes of yours. your sweet smile brings me

so much joy and your unending love for mama

is the greatest gift a mother could ever receive from her child.

as you leave baby land, you enter a world even more exciting

and new. i cherish the milestones you've

achieved and look forward to watching you grow.

happy birthday my livi-loo!!!
