I didn't know how I would completely fall in love with you the moment I saw you
I didn't know I would be happy to stare at you for hours
I didn't know how much I would love that you depend on me
And how quickly you would become independent- and how much I would miss that dependence.
I didn't know that a smile from you could make every bad thing in life melt away.
I didn't know how quickly you would learn to explore and how much your mind could absorb.
I didn't know that I could possibly be more in love with your dad...until I saw him love you, comfort you, play with you, sing to you, hold you, rock you, and talk to you. And I didn't know how much more I could possibly be in love with your dad until I see your face light up whenever you are with him.
I didn't know how special it is to be on the mother side of the mother/daughter bond.
I didn't know that you would make our family feel so complete.
Happy birthday, my little princess!

Lydia will love reading this when she's older. You have a way with words. Happy Birthday Lydia! Becca, you're a great mom. :)
OK, I did cry when I read this, and then I thought about your pre-baby worries and laughed. I'm the luckiest Mother-in-law. You are a wonderful, lovable, intellegent, creative, loving, awsome, careful, sweet, sometimes stubborn (in a good way), hopeful, and many other adjectives I can't think of right now, daughter-in-law. Lydia, cherish your mother as she cherishes you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Love grandma diane
Rebecca! You made me get all teared up reading this. Its beautiful, and the pictures are so pretty. Hope she had a great birthday.
