One year down

I may be a few days shy of your 12 month, one year old, toddler post but can you blame me? You are no longer my tiny baby girl. There is so much that has happened in the past twelve months that I could not put it all into one post. Needless to say it has been a roller coaster of emotions. As I look at the little lady you are today and compare to the tiny infant you were I am speechless. How does someone change so much?

You are completely independent, you are a go-getter, you love to eat, you love to smile, wave, and enjoy each day. Yes, you cry and some days I want to lock myself in a room just for quiet, but those are few days. I was asked the other day my favorite stage. I had such a hard time picking one.
I loved each first you had, I loved you crawling, you waving, you walking.... I have to say my favorite time is all of them. Each day when you learn something new your face lights up and you look at me like, "DID YOU SEE THAT?" and I can't help but grin.



Speaking of a first you climbed - on to a bed. I am in awe of you. When you got to the top you just smiled and made this squeal and it was a look of sweet success. You finally did it.

So, happy one year, happy life, and here is to many many more amazing days spent with you.
