She's ONE!

I remember when I first got pregnant with Ainsley. I was so anxious. I had many talks with my mom, and the one I most remember is me telling her... "mom, I'm not sure I can love another baby as much as I love Aiden". She just smiled and assured me that it was possible. She was right :)

I had no idea....that my heart could love someone so much, and two of them at that!
I had no idea...that my heart was ever so empty without them
I had no idea...that I would love them so much that it hurts
I had no idea....what true sacrifice meant until they came along
I had no idea...that my little babies could be such BIG inspirations to always be better
I had no idea...that pure joy would come in the form of a giggle, smile, hug, slobbery kiss, or a simple "ma-ma"
 

 
 
 
The lyrics below is the song that our favorite photographer, Lacey, put to Ainsley's First Birthday Picture Slideshow. She always picks the perfect song, and it always gets me. I posted Aiden's 3 yr. lyrics, so I had to do the same :)

I love this song, because I do feel that I am the lucky one. I hate that my babies are growing up so fast, but I am so blessed to be able to witness it happening. So many families, can't say that. I can't wait to watch it ALL!


Well hello,
Little baby.
Your eyes have never seen the sun
You should know
Little baby
That I am the lucky one

I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one.
Through birthdays and broken bones
I'll be there to watch you grow
I get to be the one.

Don't feel alone now,
Little baby.
Do you hear me singing you a song
I can't wait to show you
Little baby
How to crawl
How to walk
And how to run

I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one.
Through birthdays and broken bones
I'll be there to watch you grow
I get to be the one.

How does someone so small
Hold my heart so tightly
I don't even know you
I love you completely

I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one.
Through birthdays and broken bones
I'll be there to watch you grow
I get to be the one to hold your hand
I get to be the one.
Through birthdays and broken bones
I'll be there to watch you grow
I get to be the one.
