Zoe Says Photography

Personal: 365 days. Exactly.

October fourth has finally come and is going fast. I cannot believe I now have a one year old. Should I be just a little scared? 

She is absolutely everything to me. The comedian. The drama queen. The prankster. The lover. And everything in between. Over the last year she has taught me more than years and years of schooling ever could. Something only your own child could do for you. I never imagined I could love one being so much. 

Though no matter how old she is, and how many birthdays we celebrate, she will always be my baby. That tiny little thing that made the grumpiest faces Ive ever seen. The only baby Ive ever known to wrinkle her forehead and give you a look like, "Are you serious, Mom?" 

Today I wish more than anything her dad was here to celebrate with us. Not only is she a spitting image of her father (I almost questioned if I had carried her for 9 months, or if he did?) but their bond is something out of this world. Something only a father and daughter can grasp. But just as every other day I will remind her. Her daddy is fighting for our country. Our freedom. But he will be home soon. And we will go right back to them playing a little too rough, sleeping in a little too late, and always going back for that second goodnight kiss. 

This is what one year looks like. 

Happy first birthday Zoe. 

You will always be my baby.
