One year ago, my family was changed for the better. As I mentioned yesterday in my blog post, my sister gave birth to the most beautiful, sweet baby girl one year ago today. I couldn't help but devote this post to the super special, Sarah, my most favorite (and only ;) ) niece! Sarah arrived at 6pm on Tuesday, January 8, 2013. I'll never forget the phone call that my sister made to my parent's house that night. The baby girl arrived!! We were all so happy, filled with excitement. I begged my sister to send us a photo of the little star, and I'll never forget seeing that little girl's eyes for the first time on my iPad. My parents and I cried and held one another, as the new addition to our family was more beautiful than any of us could have imagined.
I raced up to Boston the next morning to be with my sister, brother in law, and niece. Holding the little baby was magical. I fell in love with her the moment I held her. The bond that she and I share is incredible, and I now can't imagine what life would be like without Sarah.
I can't help but buy the cutest baby clothes whenever I am out. I have recently had to stop myself, because the now one year old grows like a weed! She says the funniest things, and is smarter than any of us realize. She'll be walking any day now, and before I know it, she and I will be shopping together, getting manicures and discussing the best chapter books.
We're all savoring each moment as Sarah grows into her next stage of adorable toddler. I never could have imagined being an aunt this exciting, but it truly fills my heart! I think Sarah and I will have this special bond together forever. I can't wait to see this little one grow up! Happy first birthday, Sarah! Auntie loves you very much! xo
