I suffered from mild PPD right after E was born, so most of my earliest thoughts weren’t too cheery. I thought “What have I gotten myself into??”, “I can’t do this, I won’t be a good mother”, etc. Right. Not happy thoughts. I’m sure most first-time mothers have some of these thoughts, if ever so fleeting. But, I remember even once we got home, I still wasn’t completely convinced that I was going to be able to handle it all.
Fast forward a year to today, or yesterday actually. Now, I could not imagine life without my funny, smiley, courageous, friendly little girl. She loves to laugh and to make others laugh. She gives the world’s best hugs and kisses (even when they are more like licks…) She will shake her groove thang to any beat, at any time. She is independent. She loves to read (or at least look at books, that is). She says gack instead of quack. (haha, that’s new and I love it!) She is stubborn and fiery and won’t do anything you want her to- even though she knows how. She is a brute and isn’t scared of anything. Last night, for instance, she was climbing in her baby bouncer (which we keep out for cousin Law), she leaned forward too far and rolled out head first. She got up, laughed and climbed in to do it again. No fear. She loves her family and friends dearly. The happiest moments each day are when she first sees a loved one, or realizes someone she loves is home. She lets out a squeal of excitement and charges off crawling in their direction.
At her birthday party I had a picture collage on the gift table- a picture from each month of her first year of life. I’m sorry in advance if you don’t care about looking through them, but I just can’t believe she is a year old and I love looking back and watching her grow. (O:
