My sweet Leilah Faith,
Today is your very first birthday and as I think of you and your beautiful smile and your big almond eyes I fall in love with you deeper and deeper each and every day.
When I think of you I think of a quiet sweet girl who has always surprised me. Who entered my life in a blink of an eye and has grown faster than I can keep up with. From the day I found out that I was expecting you, you have kept me on my toes wondering, what is coming next? I thought you would be a boy but secretly in my heart I wanted another little girl so bad, not just for me but for your big sister Syniah. When I found out you were a girl I was so excited. I never imagined I would have a daughter but God gave me TWO! I was so scared when I found out I was expecting you I couldn't imagine loving someone else and I couldn't imagine Syniah even becoming a big sister but guess what??????
I remember so clearly meeting you for the first time, which was one year ago today. The doctor pulled you out and held you up, and when I saw you for the first time, I still couldn't believe you were MY daughter! I was very emotional during your birth. Tears rolled down my face the entire time. You came out crying cried made mama cry because I had waited so long to meet you and hear that sound. You looked exactly like your big sister. Your skin was so light, your hair dark and you had those amazing almond eyes. I fell in love with you instantly. Any doubt of not being able to love the way I loved Syniah instantly went away and my heart stretched for you. In that moment, I knew I was your mother and you were my daughter and you would change my life forever…
You had colic the first couple of months which made thing a bit hard. It wasn't easy to take a care of a 19 month old and a newborn but it all worked out. I didn't pull all my hair out and I didn't put any CHILDREN FOR SALE adds out. This year has been a roller coaster. You had colic and you develop pneumonia but through it all you were a fighter and I always knew your irresistible smile would prevail in the end. You have brought me so much joy. You have been my SUNSHINE. You have such a soft personality but very strong willed. NANA says you are exactly like me as a baby. Sweet but strong.
At 1 year old you.........
You have developed into such an amazing little person already. You are so sweet. You analyze people when you meet them and don't open up right away like Syniah but you are kind and gentle-hearted. They say the eyes are a window to a person’s soul and you’ve got the most breath-taking eyes. You have a gentle and wise spirit already…my little “old soul.” You have made this world a better place for being in it and I feel so honored to have been chosen to be your mama.

At 1 year old you.........

- say Mama, Dada, Niah, Back-Pack, Ball, Apple
- Give kisses
- Clap
- Crawl
- Dance
- say "Cheese" and squint your eyes
- Sign language "more"
