Journal reads:  I am so thankful to call you my baby. My baby I never thought I would have.You are the embodiment of every dream, every hope, every wish. You are living proof that dreams come true. My firstborn. They certainly broke the mold when they made you. An original, for sure.Brimming with enthusiasm, endless energy, I love the way you look at life; finding the good in all things.  I love how sentimental you are.  You love listening to stories of my grandparents and your grandparents, and although I call it hoarding, you love to collect and keep items that hold special memories. I love the way you talk, with your "2 year old"  accent.  I know it embarrasses you sometimes, but I will miss this when you outgrow it,which you will, so don't worry. I love how big your vocabulary is; for 2 years old you have a vocabulary of a teen ager; gainning new words daily.. and you never stop amazing me on new ways to use them!  I love that you feel shy around people at first, but once you get to know each other you are such a fun, kind and loyal friend.  And I love that you share with me and talk to me.   I love being friends with you.  And I love that God chose you for me.  I am so proud and humbled and grateful to be your mommy.  God made you so special there is really no one in the world like you.   You are  fearfully and wonderfully made.    Please don't ever forget this my darling girl.
