A Letter To Bella On Her Birthday

My precious little girl,

Today is your second birthday, and boy, are you a force of energy to be reckoned with! You are truly an inspiring little person, and your daddy and I love you so much!

It is incredible to think that you have only been on this earth for two years, and you have learned so much! God has given you a curious and inquisitive spirit; your favorite phrase is, "What is that?"


You love wearing shoes and headbands. You love performing and making people laugh, but you're stubborn enough that you rarely do it on cue - you definitely know your own little mind. If you had your way, you would run around most days wearing nothing but your diaper and mommy's sunglasses.


Your favorite toys are your grocery cart from Grandma and Grandpa Wires, and your doll house from Grandma and Grandpa Meyer. You are the queen of simple pleasures- your most boisterous laughter comes from daddy tickling you and you running up and down the hallway!

Baby girl, your nickname means "beautiful," and we are told over and over how beautiful your blue eyes and long hair are. But our prayer for you is that you would be a beautiful girl on the inside, too. More than anything else, we pray that you grow into a sweet, kind, and loving little girl. We pray that you will love Jesus, and others, and that your life will glorify Him.


I promise you that your daddy and mommy will make mistakes as we raise you, but I promise that we will also do everything we can to point you to Jesus through our actions. To love you so much that our hearts feel like they're going to explode. To love each other so that your home will be a stable, solid one.


You have truly been the most amazing gift, and we are so thankful for you!

Happy birthday, darling!


Love,


Your Mama
