Happy First Birthday, Eliza Marie!

Dear Eliza,

Happy 1st Birthday, baby girl!

Babies are a blessing, but you especially have been an enormous blessing in our house. From the moment you were born, you captivated the other six members of this family. In the hospital, your siblings fought over who would hold you first. Once we got home, we had to set rules about how often you could be kissed. There is literally no limit on the amount of love you bring into our lives!

You are my sweet, snuggly girl. I am sad that your first year has already gone by, but it is fun to watch you begin to explore your surroundings now that you have figured out how to scoot around.

We love you so much, Eliza Marie. We cannot imagine life without our girl.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
