Birthday Girl

It wasn't much of a First Birthday for this little one today. She was sick. And had to go to the doctor's office. For shots.

Yuck.

But she was still one chipper little girl. Even the nurses commented on it. :)

She continues to amaze us with her continual joyful spirit. Can't you just see it in the above picture? The spunk? The flare? The attitude that says "Okay, since you're obviously not going to e-ver turn that camera off, I'll just go ahead and pose. How's this smile? You like?"

So much I could say about this precious little one. But words just wouldn't do it. She's irreplaceable. priceless. OURS.

I still marvel over the fact that God has given her to me. She's amazing. And I've loved every minute of her first year of life. Well...with a few exceptions during the wee hours of the morning during those first long six weeks. But after that... :)

Raegan, I love you. I couldn't love you more. I hope you never feel anything less than my unconditional acceptance.

We have a "joyful one" like you described - smiling from the moment of birth, even through many bouts of sickness etc. and never stopping. And now that he is 12, the comments, thus far, over his life from strangers and friends is how he is always smiling and lighting up the room with his kindness and empathy for others. So my point is just to encourage you that she will continue to bring you that kind of joy and astonishment in being the "light" of the world whereever she goes even as a "child".
