1 year old

Today is Mylah's 1st Birthday! She's had a pretty good day, other than waking up with a nasty cold. Poor girl. It's hard to believe it's been a year since she was born! We are so blessed to have her in our family and are grateful to our Heavenly Father for keeping her here. We have learned from her to love, endure, and gained a greater testimony of our Heavenly Father's plan for our family. She was meant to be here, meant to have a heart defect, and has taught us so much!

Words cannot describe how special Mylah is to me. Pretty early on in my pregnancy I knew that I would have a special connection with her, and I have. She loves her Mommy! There is something unique about her and I am pretty sure my Father in Heaven was trying to teach me patience, to slow down, to take in the daily moments and to cherish all I'm given. She's smart, energetic, indepedent, determined, loving, sweet, beautiful and silly. We are lucky to have her!

We love you so much Mylah, Happy 1st Birthday sweet girl!
