Last weekend we celebrated Maxine's birthday. My little baby, born all chubby and red, is a whole year old. I can't hold her the way I used to, but I can chase her. I can't sleep next to her anymore, but I can put her to bed with a squeeze. I can't lay her on my bed, but I can bounce her on there. She's not quiet anymore, but she can chatter with me.
No matter what changes have occurred and are yet to occur, I can still, and always will:
sing to her
hug her
laugh with her
read to her
be enamored by her
and forever and forever I will always love her.
I love you my sweet little toddler. You're the apple of my eye and the joy of my life.
