one.

I wanted to write a long letter about how amazing this year has been with Maria on the outside of me.  I just can’t put it into words – does that make sense?  Maria is so close to walking, eats peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches, drinks 2% milk, has 4 teeth, laughs a lot, jibber-jabbers constantly, loves her brother, gets into everything, and gives us more joy than she can even understand.  For the rest, I’ll have to let her birthday photos speak to it.
