Happy Birthday to the most delightful one year old. Our family pretty much revolves around you. Each of your siblings just adores you, and you light up when they come into the room. Each morning Verity asks over and over when you are going to wake up, just like its Christmas. About once a week she says to me, "Mommy, I still can't believe we have Hyacinth!"
You have such a loving, tender heart for such a tiny girl. If one of your siblings is crying you rush over to coo and pat them. You love dolls and walk around cooing sweet nothings them while you hold them up on your shoulder and pat their backs.
You have this wild and crazy personality. Most days I just laugh and shake my head while I watch you and marvel. You run around the house shrieking and screaming with laughter. You try to do somersaults and headstands. You climb on everything and I've had to take my childproofing to new levels. You are already jumping with two feet off the ground. You are such a daredevil and have no fear.
You are independent and think you are as old as your siblings. You love getting to run errands with Dad and Verity, and relish getting to wave at new people.
You adore your Dad like no other. You look at him with stars in your eyes
I love you more than words can say. You are a living reminder to me that everything happens for a reason, and that God is so worthy of my trust. He has turned my tears into dancing.
I woke up this morning to your birth mom texting you on your special day, and I felt so much love. I felt so connected to her, us two mothers texting our excitement for you on this big day, waiting for you to wake up. She and I are the two women who love you most in this whole wide world, and I am so blessed to be able to share your life with her. Both of us are besotted with you, gorgeous girl.
Happy Birthday!
