Happy Birthday Truth. Yes of course we celebrated your real birthday on May 15th. and I wanted to take the time to write to you my sweet little girl.

Dear Truthy,

One year has slipped by us ever so fast. I still feel like just yesterday your Daddy an I were on the way to the hospital in rain, snow, sunshine to have you!! We were so excited to meet you, and hold you in our arms. You were born a happy healthy little girl who loved to sleep on my chest...and really 1 yr later when you are having a rough night that is still where you end up. In the last year you have changed so much. From a little dark skinned, dark haired newborn to a blond/reddish/brown hair...and BRIGHT BLUE eyes. Your auntie Malia says all first girls are blue eyed in our family..true for you. You are a sweet, gentle soul, little being. You love to be held, yet can truly wait when brothers, dogs, goats, chickens need to be helped!! You absolutely LOVE animals...your first word is "ddd" for dog. and every time a dog, cat, goat etc crosses your path you squeeze your legs and screech in delight!

You love your brothers, smiles at them whenever they are cuddling you, attempting to carry you :( or whatever else "helpful" thing they are doing!! You are alight giggler, you like to be tickled under your chin and around your chest but you never give out a big laugh!! Daddy tickles you best..and you love him as well..though whenever I enter the room you tend to want me to hold you. you still love milkies.

T-dog you are easy going about everything except sleeping at night!! Your first year you have prefered to be in bed with me, feeding lots!!! In the last few days you have started to sleep in your crib for 10 hours..mommy is sleeping more too!!!You have been eating everything these days. You just tried some almond butter yesterday and loved it..other favorites are peas, pasta, sushi, sweets, bananas, lentils, really just about anything. You love to climb. You have already figured out the stairs and prefer to climb all day. You pull your self up on everything..crawl instead of walking..and you really like to army crawl. You have been getting around the house since right around your half birthday!

Truth you are a joy. You have a smile that could kill..especially when you flirt with strangers and scrunch your whole face up!! I cant wait to see what will come of you in the next. Keep it slow enjoy the days!! We love love love you little Truth Kamala Eamonn...Happy 1st Birthday to you.
