Birthday Girl

It’s almost Chloe’s birthday.

It makes me feel funny inside.

But that could also just be Lauren kicking the living daylights out of me.

But something is making my stomach feel upset.

Perhaps it’s this girl turning 1.

yup.

I think that’s it.

However, I remain cautiously optimistic.

We haven’t ruined her. Yet.

This has been the most amazing year.

We’ve had so many laughs and tears.

Lots of late nights and spilled formula.

Even more pacifier searching.

Being a parent is such a crazy ride.

Looking at her sweet face brings so many emotions to the surface.

I am filled with pride.

I can’t wait to see what the next year holds.

And the one after that…

I just pray that both our girls know just how loved they are.

Which reminds me, Chris did something super duper at work and I just want to take        opportunity to tell him (yes, you Monkey!) how awesome he is.

You are the most amazing dad and husband.

And it turns out, employee as well.

I’m glad LM saw your worth and gave you some recognition.

Fudge, Lauren and I are SO proud of you.

*muah*

Embarrassed yet?

See those top two trying to bust through?

Oh please, please hurry!
