Ruby,

Today you are one. You are one year old. You're a one-year-old.

I need to keep telling myself, because I can't believe it. I knew it was coming, but it's here. You are literally growing before my eyes. I think I blinked this month and you grew an inch.

Ruby, you are so fun & you love fiercely. Like grab your face and bite your shoulder along with a hug kind of love.

You make friends everywhere you go. You smile and wave and make everyone's day a little brighter.

And you're making our entire lives a little brighter.

I pray that you know that you are loved and that you are more than worthy.

You have completely changed our lives in a way that I can't even remember what life was like before you. You are a precious jewel, Ruby girl.

I love you, my little yellow flower.
