Happy 1st Birthday Alaythia


i remember hearing your voice for the first time. all my anxiety and worry went instantly away. i got to hold you just minutes after you were born. you were so alert. all i could say was, 'i love you, i love you so much' over and over.
you defied the odds...being a girl and all. godshall's and hendrix' don't come by girls easily. still to this day i find myself so shocked that i have a daughter. i love it. you want to snuggle, you love to talk. you have the best little sense of humor. i loved the other night when you crawled up the stairs and sat on the landing. i felt like you wanted to get away so we could have a mother, daughter talk. i imagined a few years ahead when we will be doing the same thing.




you are our sweet pea. and today we look back on a year of life that has gone by so fast. you are our precious girl. we love you so much!
