11 months....

...boo hoo.

Almost to a year and I am awed and amazed at how much my baby bug has grown and changed.

It seems like yesterday that we found out we were having a baby girl .

No way time has gone this fast. Didn't my water just break like a few days ago?

Be prepared, blog friends, to see a tear streaked, tear stained posts the next month or so as I make this pilgrimage to celebrate my Baby's 1 year accomplishment to turning a year old! How amazing. How bittersweet.

She's so stinkin' cute that I still can't believe I made her.

I can't believe she has two new chompers and keeps on cutting more to add to her collection of pearly whites.

I am amazed that she's standing on her own, taking hesitant, wobbly steps...all the while looking at me with her proud, smiley, scrunch face that makes my heart fall into a bazillion pieces...

I love that she wants to eat everything I put in front of her and am equally disgusted at watching her shove food in her mouth, spit it out, then put it right back in and chomp away.

I love that she points to her mouth, eye, nose, and tummy and says with confidence "mow (mouth), nose (umm...nose), and eye...tummy she doesn't say - she just points.

My heart swelled with pride as she looked at me one afternoon while eating lunch - put her two fists together - and clearly said "MORE!" After showing my Girl since she was 4 months old...she finally did it back.

She's doesn't say "I love you" but she shows me now that she lets me hold her and rock her. There is a bit of magic in the air when she looks up at me, lays her head on my shoulder and wraps her arms around my neck - then closes her eyes and sleeps while I sit, completely silent, fearful to ruin this absolute moment of perfection.


11 months...

Blessed.

Truly blessed.

On conference calls. She's a V.I.B. (Very Important Baby)
