Daddy and Bailey, on your birth-day

Dear Bailey,


You are ONE today. How can this past year have gone so fast? Especially in those early days after we came home from the hospital...in the wee hours of the morning, a year seemed like an eternity away. When the doctor held you up for us to see, you had one arm raised over your head and your hand clenched in a fist- and screaming. In that moment, we knew we would name you Bailey. It means able, fortified.

Your personality is really starting to show, but we did see a glimpse of it when you were a newborn! There is no in between when it comes to your moods. You are either happy as can be or mad as a hornet. In those early days, when you would wake up for a feeding, you would wake up so suddenly with a loud grunt and a scream. It would startle your dad and me right out of bed! There was no easing into it for you. You would be sound asleep, then you were suddenly awake and ready to eat!

You love playing outside with your big sister. In fact, you love playing with your big sister anywhere! You have the cutest chuckle I've ever heard. I love how you have 4 teeth coming in at the moment, and they are all at different stages. It makes for the cutest smile ever!

Sweet Bales, you are a blessing from the Lord. Though you may have surprised us, God knew just the right time to send you to us. We are thankful that He chose us to be your Mommy and Daddy. God used you to bring healing into our lives at just the right time.

We love you,
Mommy and Daddy
