Where has this year gone?!
A year ago today we woke up to the news that our niece was born and what a pretty girl she is. She came at just the right time.
She brings us happiness when we are feeling glum and she lightens up any room with her sparkle. She makes us forget all our troubles and focus on the real things, not the material things.
Naturally her arrival has made me feel quite broody but right now, she is all we need. So we spoil her and we love her.
At 365 days old, she has a few little tooty pegs, is a marathon crawler and has taken her first few steps. She loves chicken (especially Nandos), loves throwing strawberries and other red fruit on her mom's lovely cream carpet, points and takes pleasure in throwing her buttery toast on the dogs' heads (they don't mind). She blows kisses, she waves and she is always smiling.
We love you little one, and although the year has flown by a little too quickly for my liking, it has been heartwarming to watch you grow and be part of your little life. Here's to more memories.
Luke worked his joinery magic and knocked up this toy box, which I upholstered and painted her name.
Happy first birthday to our darling niece, Mila.
