Dear Dorothy (aka Dottie, Dordor, Dory, Dot, Do-da, sissy, sweet honey, babycakes, and scrappy),
To know you is to love you <3 You are vibrant and a gift in every way… from your expressions to your personality your life reflects your name. I am so honored to have gotten to know you in all your versions this year. From the tiny, sweet newborn, who just needed to be held for the first few weeks, to the strong and beautiful toddler you are becoming more every day. Each leap, each milestone, each new day with you is a gift. You are such a bright ray of sunshine and every month of waiting was worth it to get to know you <3

I had initially picked out a beige theme for Dottie’s first birthday. But after thinking about it, I decided she needed something vibrant, whimsical and magical like herself. It ended up being perfectly simple and sweet and so her. We celebrated her birthday with family on Valentines Day which felt ideal since she captured all of our hearts this year <3

My second rainbow baby <3
