our beautiful girl, 

you are such a joy to be with and we love you so much. you are so relaxed and enjoy being with us all. i know that when you were born, i was not just given a daughter for life but also a friend. your eyes are bright and joyful and i can see the unique personality coming through as you continue to grow. it is such a blessing to be your mama. 

you are my most favourite girl in all the world x
