Dear Bria-

Today you turned one.  And I feel bad because your poor birthday sure has been overshadowed.  Thank goodness you're too young to notice!  First off, Dad and I found out last night that I'm pregnant.  This was a little bit of a surprise and has definitely occupied my thoughts.

Then, we spent today at a children's museum that was geared towards older kids.  When two and under are free, that's saying something.  You still had a good time.  Nana laughed that your favorite thing there were stairs.  And it's the truth.

Tonight, after I put you down, Dallin lost his first tooth.  Dad and I couldn't help but laugh at these big events happening right around your birthday.  This is third child problem.  But please know that no matter what, I love you and have thought lots about your one year birthday.

Just watch your one year video if you want proof!  I worked on that for at least 10 hours and I think it turned out fabulous.  Truth be told, my best work yet.  See?  There are advantages to being a third kid!

You also got some cool gifts.  Aunt Kelli is in town and so you even had an extra guest at your party. You got a shape sorter, a ring with hoops that go around it, a flashlight, and a sippy cup.  You absolutely devoured your cupcake.  Unfortunately, you've gotten into sweets a time or two and so this was not your first foray into sugar.

I love you sweet girl!  I can't believe that I had you a year ago.  I'm so excited to be able to give you a sibling close in age.  Truth be told, in a lot of ways, I would love a large age gap between you and your sibling.  But seeing Dallin and Akarie grow up together confirmed to me that you deserved the same thing.  So... you're welcome!  (Disclaimer: There were other reason for having another kid right now.  But we definitely took you into consideration!)

Love you!
~Mom
