My baby girl turned One recently. So hard to believe a year has gone by already. I'm sure parents of multiple children would all agree that time with each successive child goes faster b/c you have so much to keep you busy with the other ones. I only have two, but I believe this to be true.

Ali is truly a joy to have in our family. She is very different from her brother and has a much stronger personality. She is definitely stronger willed! Most of the differences are really fun and we are all enjoying watching her develop from a baby into a little girl. She's standing on her own and has taken a few steps, but doesn't seem too interested in walking. She can crawl unbelievably fast and really turns the jets on when she knows she's done something she shouldn't and we're coming to correct her. Funny how that works. She's starting to say a few words, which is really fun. I can't wait to see her look at me and say, Mama!

Being a mom to a little girl is definitely different than a boy. I would give my life for both of my children, but the connections are different. I can't really put words to it, it's just different. I love you Ali and pray we have many more years to watch you grow and most importantly to teach you about Jesus!
