oh, my last.
my baby doll.
my sweetness and light.
tomorrow, you turn 1.
1
as i sit to write i almost feel like my words can’t express just how much i love you.
we all love you.
you.
my bonnie blue butler.
when i look in those (still) blue eyes of yours i see myself like i never have before. the deep sapphire mirrors my own & i get lost in space & time. it’s surreal to see so much of myself in another.
in you.
my buttercup.
my miss james.
my mj.
there’s so much i could say about you. like how you love shoes & socks. anyone’s shoes & socks. you just want them on your feet. right. now!
or how much you adore your big brother enough to counter the scorn he gets from above.
or how much you love your daddy & perk up anytime you hear his baritone, no matter how quiet or how far away.
you tie us up nicely, you do.
you made us 6.
i love you, my baby.
my last.
my sweetness and light.

















Gah! the cutest baby – happy birthday!
It is hard to see such cuteness – tugs on my uterus even though I am done! {sorry if that sounds weird}
not weird at all. she makes me want to have more, so i know exactly what you mean, but i, too, am done.
Happy Birthday babygirl!
AHhhhh. I wish you lived nearby.
Happy Birthday to miss james and what a beautiful family you have!! Hope they are acclimated to AZ.
Those pictures are as beautiful as she is. happy happy.
Oh my. How beautiful.
Happy birthday little one!
So, so sweet! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday little one!
Beautiful words and pictures for a beautiful baby!
…(sniff)(honk)…Happy birthday little one…
Those eyes, good grief, those eyes…sapphire mirrors is an exquisite description, and fitting. Wow.
Happy birthday to the little Princess!!!!
I just can not belive she is ONE. Hope she has a great day.
Miss you!!!
I’m the last child in my family. I love the way you speak of how she “ties you up nicely”. Beautiful girl. Happy Birthday!
You all are adorable. I love that phrase “sweetness and light”. She embodies it completely.
