Dear Delilah,
You are almost 1!!!! How did that happen!?!?!? I swear I was just finding out you were a girl last week and now you walk and talk! You are so funny now and daddy and I both love to hang out with you. Today we got to spend a surprise morning together and we went to town and visited Nana and Auntie DeAnna at their work. We went to the grocery store and found your favorite fruit on sale for the first time this year (Yay nectarines!!). Did I mention that you slept 15 and a half hours last night? Because you are one crazy, good sleeper. Mom isn't so good at sleeping, so I am glad that you didn't inherit that particular characteristic.
You say 8 words now too. And you are walking around like crazy. I decided to put a "real" pair of shoes on you today, so that you could get used to wearing them before it actually became necessary for you to. You were so funny trying to walk in them, you kept lifting your legs really high.And last night you clapped for the very first time for daddy and me.
Daddy and I also made a big decision, one that will no doubt change how your entire life may play out. We decided that we aren't going to have any more babies. While Daddy feels like we could try for a brother or sister for you, I just don't think I can do it and I would rather spend my time being the best mommy I can be to you, than try for another baby. I hope you understand this when you are older and wonder why so many of your friends have brothers and sisters and you don't. Someday, when you are old enough I will tell you about how we wanted you so much, and how long it took and how hard it was and then maybe you will understand why I can't do it again. But I have no doubt that when daddy and I are gone, you will still have people all around you who love you and you won't be alone.
I love you more than Coach purses, and Reese's Peanutbutter Cups!
