HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TO MY DAUGHTER, ARIA JAYLYNN!
This year has been FULL of insane ups & downs, lots of crying, lots of "I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HECK I'M DOING!!!"'s, lots of googling & asking others who already had kids before me, lots of leaning into Mama friendships for support, encouragement, and play dates with our littles!
A child's first year of life is CRAZY, honestly. One month can, and OFTEN is, completely different from the previous month. So many changes & growth. Soooo many firsts. And as I'm reflecting on this year, I do actually find myself missing even the things that I thought there was NO way I would miss. Not that I would want them back, really. I LOVE the phase she is in right now and I'm excited for her to grow into who God made her to be! But I just can't believe she is getting so BIG!!
But with lots of hope & faith, I am excited for this next year of life for Aria. Here's a short glimpse into what this year held for her (well, parts of it anyway)!. Enjoy!
