HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAYA!!!!!!!

I cannot believe that my baby is 2 today!! It has been an amazing 2 years and I couldn't ask for a more loving, sweet, sassy, adorable, gentle, happy, full of life little girl!

Maya is so special to me, she is my angel who was sent here to rescue me. I'll never forget in her baby blessing when it was said that she had a specific errand in coming here to earth as my daughter, to not only be taught and guided by her mother, but also to teach and help her mother in very special ways. In just these first 2 years I have been taught so much from her. I know she was sent just for me. I can just picture her up in heaven saying, send me, I'll go....let this woman be my mother so I can love her and motivate her to come back home....

I thank God every day for her and I truly am grateful to call her my daughter!

It has been such an amazing experience to watch her learn and grow. From sitting up to crawling, to her first words, to walking, then running, and now she babbles on for hours and climbs up on anything! She is turning into quite the little girl with her jewerly, shoes, and playing dress up, yet she loves to grab a ball and dribble and shoot. She loves to go potty and would sit on the toilet for hours if I let her, and most recently (thanks to my family) she has found great joy in calling me "heather" not so much mama anymore, or I am "heather mama" all in one.

I love watching her take in the world, seeing how she experiments and pushes herself to try and do new things. She LOVES to read, sing, and dance. My life is full of soo much joy because of her and I am eternally grateful to be her mom. I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for trusting in me as her mother and for blessing me with the most amazing calling on earth, motherhood!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BABYGIRL! I LOVE YOU WITH EVERYTHING THAT I AM!!!

With love, heather mama.

Isn't it weird to have your own child have a birthday? Brooklyn is turning 6 next month and it's just as surreal as when she turned one. Each year I can't believe she's a year older!
