Dear Sophia Leigh...

Dear Sophie,

Today you turn one year old! One year ago today, we welcomed you into our family. Instantly we knew that you were perfect, beautiful, and nothing short of amazing.

With time we have been able to become acquainted with your sweet little spirit.
  • You are sweet to the core!
  • You are kind.
  • You are affectionate.--You love to give hugs, and have earned the nick-name, Buggy. Our little "cuddle bug."
  • You have developed your adorable sense of humor!
  • You have the best little laugh, and love to be tickled.
  • You are assertive. You don't let your big sister push you around.
  • You are without a doubt, a talker! I am amazed by how many words you have already.
  • You have your daddy's calm temperament.

You love your sister, and like nothing more than to play with her. It has always been our hope that the two of you grow up to be best friends.


Your daddy loves, and will always love you; more than I could ever relate. He has adored you from the moment he was told of your existence. Daddy spent every moment he could with you. If you had a hard time sleeping, he would get up with you at night or early mornings. He would play with you. He would talk to you. He loved to comfort you and sooth your cries. He would cuddle with you whenever you would let him.

Daddy wants the absolute best for you. He would give you the world if he could. He wants you to be happy, healthy, and safe. Most of all, Daddy wants you to always know how precious you are to him. Daddy will always watch over you with concern for your well being. You are so very blessed to have him as your father.

Love,
Mommy

This is so beautiful Ginny, Sophie will love it when she is older.

She is such an easy person to fall in love with. I loved every minute of holding her and playing with her.

We all love you dearly Miss Sophie!!!!

P.S. I am so out of it! I thought today was her birthday!! I wrote the wrong date on every single chart at work the other day, I am lost! Sienna and I sent out a card we made, so it will be late, sorry!
