Jane Turns One

Jane, you are one-year-old today!

Happy birthday sweet Jane Alexander.

Your papa & I really love you. It's a crazy kind of love. It's like a love-sick thing.  It consumes us, body & soul, in the very best way possible.

You do so many lovable thing these days. 

We love the way you love others. You really do have a tender heart of gold. 

We love walking into your room in the morning & hearing your sweet voice greet us with "mama & dada." 

We love the way you nod your head in approval of raspberries, blueberries & bananas. 

We love it when you give us "huggies" and wrap your sweet arms around us tightly. 

The world literally stops in that moment.

You are a courageous little cub, and you really continue to amaze us.

You can do absolutely anything you want in this world.

Papa & I promise to be here for you when the world fails you. 

You will need love & support even when you think you don't deserve it.

Girls will be mean sometimes, and boys will be too. Just always remember to love them back. 

They don't know what they are missing out on.

Be YOU, always. Be Jane. 

The world would be so lucky.

Do I even have to say the three little words...???

We love you, Jane, and that's the beginning and the end of everything.
