Happy Birthday Inaaya

Today my baby girl Inaaya is a big one year old.

My goodness, my heart explodes with so many emotions. It is hard to believe that a year ago today you blessed my life with so much love and joy. The kind of love and joy that is genuine and pure.

You learned to lift your head and roll over. I learned to celebrate in silence so I didn’t startle you.

You started to sleep through the night. I learned to appreciate the little things like getting a shower and a good night’s sleep.

You learned to sit up on your own. I learned that you were not going to be baby forever.

You learned to crawl, pull up to stand, and crawl up the stairs. I learned, not to hold my breath in fear of your fall, but to support you in all the wonderful things you could do.

This year you learned and grew so much. I learned just what we could achieve together as a family in one simple year. So happy birthday sweetheart! We have so much to celebrate.

Love mumma ❤️
