nostalgia

Our little girl has been in our lives for 1 full year. In some ways it's hard to believe that it's already been that long, but in other ways it's hard to believe that we have only known her for 1 year. She is such a huge part of our lives, everything seems to revolve around her. I can hardly remember what life was like when I didn't have to think about nap-time, feeding time, changing time, bath time...blah, blah, blah. She isn't the most mellow kid, she has a mind of her own and lets me know if things are not perfect in her world, but boy, can she make me laugh. She gets in silly moods and makes the funniest noises with her mouth, I know she is just trying to make us laugh, and I love it. I love my little 1 year old. It's not been the easiest year, I had to have a pretty big surgery when Maggie was just 8 weeks old, it took me almost 3 months to feel normal. Maggie has only been sleeping through the night for 2 weeks, and she doesn't like to nap. I gave up on having her on any sort of a schedule when she was 6 months old, I was getting too frustrated and decided that I needed to enjoy my little girl, like I said, she has a mind of her own. I still love being a Mom. I'm excited and nervous about having another girl in July, I'm hoping her 1st year will be just as great, maybe this next baby will sleep more, I'm not counting on it.
