Mali turns 3

My dearest baby Mali-
I cannot beleive you are 3 years old today. I've been thinking about the day you were born for the past few days now. Remembering the detials of your labor and birth and after. You were a gorgeous baby right from the start. You have the same rosy cheeks today as you did when you were born. I remember Keely coming to the hospital to visit you and remembering how big she was compared to you. And now you both are almost the same size! The past 3 years with you have been such a blessing Mali. Your smiles and hugs and laughs are music to my heart. My life is so much better because of you. You remind me to laugh and smile and not take my days so seriously. To hear you say, "I love you Mommy" makes me want to melt. You are such a big girl now and wanting to do everything on your own. I'm not sure I'm ready for that! I want you to be my baby forever, yet I can't wait to see you grow and learn. I love you so very much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALI!
All my love,
Mom
