Today is baby Ayva’s very first birthday. I can’t believe it’s been a year already since this tiny little miracle with a big personality came into our lives. I still remember sitting by Amber’s bedside waiting for our new little princess to arrive. And when she did, she was so much more incredible than we all could have imagined. Ayva has been a blessing to us, just like Ayden – they’re strong, beautiful, and full of the purest love. They’ve made our lives fuller than we could have ever hoped. So today, on Ayva’s first birthday, I can’t help but be overwhelmed with all of the wonderful things I hope and wish for her for every single day of her beautiful life. Mimi and Pop Pop love you so much, little angel. We are so blessed to have you. Here’s to the first of many beautiful birthdays surrounded by love from all of the many people who adore you. Don’t grow up too fast. xoxo
Here’s a look back at some of my favorite pictures since the day Ayva came into our lives and brightened up our world.
