A year ago, I met the little girl who would completely change my world. I remember wondering what you would look like, what your personality would be like, what your laugh would sound like, and who you would become. Somehow, you have exceeded every little dream I had for you. You have brought more joy, laughter, love, and purpose into my life than I could have ever imagined. Watching you grow from a tiny baby into this funny, sweet, curious, independent little girl has been the greatest privilege of my life. Every smile, every new sound, every little milestone, and every cuddle has been a part of a year I will never forget. You have taught me that my heart could somehow grow bigger than I ever thought possible. You’ve shown me a kind of love that I didn’t even know existed. And while I wish I could slow time down because I swear I was just bringing you home, I’m also so excited to watch you become YOU. I pray that you always know how deeply loved you are. I pray that you grow up knowing that you are capable, kind, strong, loved, and never alone. I pray that God protects you, guides you, and keeps His hand over you through every season of your life. And I pray I get to be there for every single one of them. 🤍 Being your mommy is my favorite thing I’ve ever been blessed with. There is nowhere else I’d rather be than right here, watching you grow. Happy 1st birthday to my beautiful baby girl. 🎂🎀 My tiny baby and my biggest blessing. I love you more than words could ever explain. Here’s to ONE year of you and a lifetime of loving you. 🥹❤️ As long as I’m living my baby you’ll be 💕 Happy birthday, Gianna. Mommy loves you forever. 🤍 #fyp #ftm #firstbirthday #birthday #MomsofTikTok - @fanene_
