My baby turned 1 on January 28th. I can't believe she is already one. She is our last baby, so there is alot things I will never get to do again. Some of the things I will miss about the baby days:
  • the wonderful smell of a new baby
  • the sweet coos and noises
  • the first time they smile at you
  • how they hold on to your finger so tightly
  • how when they look at you, nothing else matters
  • all the wonderful firsts (sitting up, first food, first step, first word,etc.)

Things I will not miss about the baby days:

  • waking up every two hours
  • being spit up on (sometimes in your mouth)
  • bottles, bottles, bottles
  • endless screaming that pierces your brain

The things I am looking forward to about her being 1:

  • sippy cups:)
  • bigger car seat (easier to get her in and out of)
  • self feeding
  • new words and new discoveries
  • more independence (the classic " I do")
  • running, playing at the park
  • things I am sure I am not even aware of :)

I love every stage of childhood, yes even the teenagers, every stage has good and not so good things, but I get to experience it with them and I cherish every minute.
