When we first laid eyes on you, sweet baby girl, we had no idea what we were in for. Your cries echoed loudly down the hall. You were here and you were going to let everyone know it. Proclaim it, sister! Little did we know how overcome our hearts would be with love for you, our little lady. Pink was the new thing and by golly, did we love our pink!
When we first brought you home, sweet baby girl, your brothers doted on you so... and continue to do so. In fact, they love you so much, dear one, they feel it necessary to share an extra squeeze in their hugs, an additional head rub in their pats no matter what protest cries you give them. All their physical love is merely an expression of all that baby love, locked tight inside! They really do mean well, sweet one. Daddy and I are quite proud of your "brother squeal" you've developed whenever they come near!
Since those first days as a family of six, we've had great, happy, fun family times. We've also had spells where Daddy and I didn't know which end was up, swimming in a vast sea with no land in sight. But we're making it, baby girl. And no doubt, we're loving it. Many thanks to your smiles and joy and exuberance...
You and I had a wonderful chat this morning in the quiet house, just the two of us. It was early and the boys were still asleep. You nursed for the last time (sniff, sniff) and the two of us played and gabbed. What languid tones I heard coming from your mouth today, sweet one. You are becoming a chatty one already (you come by it honestly!) and I can't wait to share many more mother-daughter moments like this one.You color our world, MG, and we PRAISE GOD for your precious life! Here's to one year and many more to come. How much we celebrate you today!!
Happy Birthday, sweetheart!

What a beautiful post, B-mama about a beautiful baby girl! She is a total doll! I think she and Bit would definitely be besties if we lived closer. ha! They both smile so big and I know this is ridiculous, but they kind of favor.
I'm so glad that you had some special time...just the two of you this morning. That one on one time is a gift, for sure, especially in a house of six.
Happy Birthday to the little lady of G-Ville!! Have a great day!
Happy Birthday MG!!! I can't believe she's a year old already. She sure is a lucky lady to have 3 doting brothers. They're all adorable!
Happy Birthday, MG!!!
And congratulations to you, too, B-Mama, for making it through the first year of life as a family of six and continuing to radiate love and joy! I know it's such hard work now when they're all little, but imagine how much fun your dinner table will be once everyone is a little older (and can feed themselves), with all of those sweet personalities and enough love to practically make any heart burst!
Sending lots of hugs your way on such a special day! :)
We can't wait to celebrate with you, Miss Birthday Girl! We love you soooo much!!
Happy First Birthday MG! You sure are a special little lady and have added such flair to a house full of boys. Your family is lucky to have you and we have enjoyed seeing your first year of life, even from afar.
How can it be? MG, where has the year gone? It seems like just yesterday when your mom told us she was pregnant & then a few weeks later we got the exciting news that you were a girl! What a blessing your little life has already been. We look forward to continuing to "watch" you grow in the coming year. As always, you are in our prayers.
We love you,
the Runges
