Hi all,
It's me, Morgan/Mom here. Gillian will be back shortly, I am sure, to recap her 12th month, but I wanted to mark this very special day with a quick reflection on the last year.
When you're pregnant with your first child, moms and dads who are "in the club" lovingly share their congratulations and exchange knowing looks while saying things like "Get ready!" or "Being a parent is the best."
No piece of advice could have prepared me for the love that I feel for this baby and the joy that she has brought me and Chad each and every day. I couldn't have known what it would mean to be amazed every day. Gillian took a few steps last week and it was pretty amazing- but no more amazing than hearing her say "hiiiii dada", or when she pulled herself up to stand on the crib for the first time, or smiled, laughed, pointed, or put her head on my shoulder for the first time. It is just the best to be amazed by our baby every day.

| Happy First Birthday, Gillian! |
I've already written Gillian an email (though it may take 30 years to make sense to her), so I need not go into greater detail here. But let the record show that Chad and I are overjoyed to celebrate our little Gillian's first birthday, and can't wait to see her grow (but please, not too fast).
lots of love,
morgan and chad
