Baby’s First Year!
A Baby Shower Poem I wrote for a friend on May 12, 2012 after experiencing my daughter’s first year.
Baby’s first year will go by so fast. Hold your little one tight because it won’t last.
Baby (Last Name) will be walking & talking before too long.You will find yourself rhyming or singing her a funny song.
There will be so many memorable firsts. Things she will do to make your heart burst.
Rolling over and cutting teeth. Things she will learn to climb beneath.
Take pictures as often as you like. She grows in her sleep and gets bigger over night!
Holidays will become magical again. So it’s important she has an outfit for every occasion then.
First you will celebrate the 4th of July. Picnics, lots of people, hand sani…oh my!!!
Halloween and trick or treating comes next. Please send us all lots of pics via text!
Baby gets her first bite of mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. All she has had is milk so far, so this is finally living!
Christmas is the best one yet. Presents & memories you will never forget!
Valentines Day she’ll be dressed in hearts and pink. She will receive cards from boys sooner than you think!
No more green beer on St. Patty’s Day. We are grown ups now and you won’t care any way!
By Easter she could be crawling. If she’s not.. don’t start bawling.
Babies will go at their own pace. Be patient and always keep a big smile on your face!
Being a mom is the most wonderful thing you will ever do. Somehow you learn to manage your time more efficiently than you ever knew!
Sleepless nights, crying, and diapers galore. You will love her more and more.
Her First Birthday will too soon be here. Her laugh will be the best sound you will ever hear!
Enjoy every moment Mom & Dad, take it all in! This incredible journey of parenthood is just about to begin!
