Another month older on 10.09.2010! I cannot believe in less than 2 months we will be celebrating Hadlea's BIG 1st birthday! Someone please tell me after the age of 1 that they start to slow down! PLEASE?.....ANYONE?! And do not write and say they only go faster after 1! I really couldn't take that news right now! :) Hadlea is at the funnest stage yet, which I am assuming at this point that they get better with age, but she is SO funny these days. She has the greatest personality EVER! And she is starting to learn things and put things together, which makes me one proud momma! I have no idea how I got so lucky. God must REALLY love me, even though I am not worthy to be the mother of something SO perfect!

It is 2 months before your 1st birthday, and I have no idea where the time has gone. I tell you every single day that you are the most perfect thing ever and mommy's very best friend. I hope you will know as you grow that I truly mean that. You are the center of your daddy and I's world. I love you more than you will ever know, and you have your daddy completely wrapped around your finger! :) Let's hope he always stays that way because we can always convince him to buy us some pretty fun stuff! :) On your 10 month birthday, he bought you a new car seat (which you LOVE), and a new outdoor play set for the backyard. I know you will love it! Although it is for your 1st birthday, we wanted you to enjoy it before it got too cold! He cannot wait to put it together for you, and together, we cannot wait to see your face when you swing or slide for the very first time! We thank the Lord for blessing us with you, and we will continue to give thanks for as long as we live. We cannot wait for the next few stages of your life. We enjoy each one and seeing you grow! I love you sweet girl.
Love, mommy.
