Rylee's 1st Birthday

Happy 12 months!!!

It is so hard to believe that one year ago today you came into this world and made us a family. It is so true that every good and perfect gift comes from above. You are such a wonderful blessing and I am so thankful for you. I honestly never knew that I could love someone so much until the moment I laid eyes on you and held you for the first time. You have brought so much joy into my life and have forever changed me for the best. You made me a Mommy! You have the sweetest personality and are such a little ham!! I love watching you smile, laugh, play, and learn new things everyday. It is amazing to see the world through your eyes. It has been the biggest blessing to watch you grow and develop into a beautiful little girl this past year. Even though you are now one year old you will always be my baby girl! I love you more than words can express. You are the most precious thing in my life and I will continue to cherish everyday and moment that I have with you. Happy 1st Birthday my sweet girl!! I love you all the way to the moon and back<3
