{12}

She just turned 12.
My sweet, lovely firstborn.
What a blessing she has been in our lives. Kind. Honest. Hard working. Quiet natured. Loving to her little siblings. She has, and always has been, a first rate helper to me. My right hand girl. I can’t believe she’s already 12 years old as it just seems like yesterday she was placed on my chest when the doctor said, “She looks like fine lace…”
My first baby – what an exciting time to be a new mother! Also, what little did I know then! I actually forgot to burp her for the first few weeks – yes, one of those details you just did not think of as a new, young mother! Oh, how life has changed – we have both grown over these past 12 years.
I thank God for our firstborn … and I look forward to many more years of watching her grow and flourish.
