Happy Birthday, Bria!

Today our dear, darling Bria turns ONE! I am in shock that it has already been a whole year since she was born. This has been such a crazy year-- by far and away the hardest in my life. But Bria is, also, by far and away, the single best thing in my life. Nearly every day I tell anyone who will listen how I could never have imagined having such a wonderful baby. How I could never have guessed how much I would love a little baby. How I never could have dreamed of such a cute and beautiful little baby. Call me biased, but I truly think Bria is the best human on the planet. Example: Bria's new thing is to wave to me and blow kisses to me when I put her down to sleep. When I rock her, when I set her down, and as I walk out the door, she enthusiastically, but groggily, alternates between waving and blowing kisses. And she'll point out the door (across the hall to where Sam is working) and wave. It nearly makes my heart explode every time.

Happy birthday, Bria!
