Happy Birthday Dear Andrina
Happy Birthday to You!
Always the happiest baby!
I love seeing how this Elmo birthday toy was magical for you.I love the gift of a second childhood you have given me to experience through your eyes.
Wow, you were only 18 inches tall and 6 pounds, 6 ounces when you were born.Look how much you have grown since then.
Good night Andrina!
Good night Andrina!It's hard to believe that a year has passed since I gave birth to you. What do I say on this momentous occasion for you? What can I say that celebrates your first year of life? How can I convey just how much I love you? I have enjoyed your first year immensely. I loved you and enjoyed this first year, even when things were difficult, like when I could not nurse you, when you were fussy every evening for the first 3 months for no apparent reason, when you woke up every 2 to 3 hours and I could not sleep. I loved you though it all and as much as I loved you when you were born, I've grown to love you even more as the days and weeks and months have passed.
I'll never forget how when you were born that you were in my arms when you took your first breath of life. I'll never forget how hours later when I was still so pumped up with adrenaline that I could not sleep and you were asleep, I took you into my bed and laid you down next to me. I just gazed at you and kissed you all over, I was so full of wonder and amazement that I grew you inside of me and that I knew that I did something wonderful. I remember thinking that you were so beautiful and tiny and I waited so long to meet you that I could not get enough of you. And now it is one year later and I still feel the same way. There are so many times when I just look at you and I fall in love with you all over again. I can't describe how much I love you, how much your smiles and laughter and kisses and cuddles shake me all the way through to my soul. I don't know how many times the strength of my love for you have made me burst into tears. Every day I say "thank you" to God for you. My dearest daughter Andrina, as the years continue to pass, I hope that you will always know that I love you. I hope you will always know that you are my everything. And I hope you know that I truly believe that because I have loved you, I have gotten a glimpse of heaven and it's more that I ever could have hoped for.

Happy Birthday Andrina! The wonders continue to abound-you'll find yourself looking at her, wondering how she was ever a baby how she ever didn't talk or walk before. Your memory starts to get fuzzy and sometimes you can't recognize the baby in the pictures as your own because your toddler is so different now. And it breaks my heart to think one day, a few years from now, I'll look at her pictures and not recognize her again.
