The Baxey Diaries

Dear Kennedy,

Happy Birthday my sweet girl! A year ago today my life was forever changed, and I became your mommy. You are the gift God gave to me that I didn’t know I wanted, nor needed. But now, I couldn’t imagine a day in this life without you. Watching you grow and learn over the past year has been incredible, you are the smartest little girl! You are the happiest baby with the best little personality. You are the perfect mix of both your parents; stubborn and sassy like your Momma and kind and silly like Da. One of my favorite things to do is to watch you take in new experiences. I love to see the world through your big beautiful blue eyes. (one of the only things you got from me) You see everything so pure and simple, and I pray that you don’t let this jaded world change your sweet heart.

I would like to think that I have been teaching you a thing or two this past year, but in reality it is you who has been teaching me. You have taught me patience, though I still have some work to do. You have taught me to let go of the to-do list and schedule, because let’s face it, we are on your time line now. You have taught me how to appreciate the simple things that life has to offer. You have warmed my cold heart, one of the things I am most greatful for. I hope you know that everything I do is for you.  You have changed my life so much sweet girl, and all for the better.

I hope that you know how truly beautiful you are from the inside and out. I am so blessed to be your mommy. I will forever keep you safe, If you forever keep me wild. I love you so incredibly much! I can’t wait to celebrate this day with you.
