I blinked…
My Bou
…and then my baby girl turned 1.
Today is Caia Christianne’s 1st birthday. She’s my little “turkey leg.” (I call her that because she was so tiny when she was born that she looked like one of those ‘flavor enhanced’ Fred Flintsstone turkey legs at Disney World.)
Our girls are blessed/cursed with multiple nicknames. We also call her Caiabou (and in turn Bou [pronounced 'boo,' but spelled Bou because it came from Caiabou which came from caribou], Bou Bou), Peanut, Little Squirt, Bou Hinkle, The Small One…
She is a precious creature. It still hurts me that the first few months of her life were so tough for her. But on the other end of it all, she came out the joyful princess we always knew she was.
God, bless this child with courage, grace, confidence, patience, passion, and a heart that is unsatisfied with a mediocre pursuit of You.
Happy birthday, Bou.
I cant believe she’s already a year either! and you are right she is the happiest sweetest little girl i have ever come in contact with! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAIA!!!!!!!!!
