The first year is upon us

I haven't posted in nearly 6 months! Time goes by so fast. Jaeda is turning 1 on Friday and I can't believe it. The first year is filled with so many wonderful memories. I think of all the firsts: the first time she rolled over or cooed, when she said 'mama' and 'dada', when she started crawling....backwards!, when she reached for me, when she started saying real words, when she started pulling her self up and carefully walking from toy to toy (not letting go), when she started to walk steadily and now trying to run, when we rolled the ball to her and it actually came back to us!, and most of all- her kisses! I won't take those kisses for granted, because before I know it, she will be a teenager! She is already, we'll say, Miss independent.

Luckily I will soon forget all of the sleepless nights, painful cries, doctor visits, blow-out diapers and all of the things I have already forgot! :D If we didn't forget, we would never have more kids.

My daughter is my pride and joy. She is perfect.
