The last year has been filled with joy, sadness, trials, triumphs, learning and a lot of love! I feel like I have grown so much as a person since becoming a mother. My motivations are different, my relationships with people have changed. Some have grown, others have ended. My main goal now is to surround ourselves with positive loving supportive people who enrich our lives. I've realized the most that everything we do reflects onto how Grace will perceive us and how she will grow. That makes it a huge responsibility to help her become the best person she can be.
One of the greatest joys over the last year has been watching her turn into her own little person. As her personality has started to come through. What she thinks is funny and her own likes/dislikes. She is such a mover, never wanting to slow down. Her toys don't get touches much as she would prefer to be walking around and exploring. The few times of calm she can usually be found looking through a book. Hopefully our love of reading will be passes onto her, I hope she realizes that a love of reading is a love of knowledge. Our smart girl seems to already be very sharp and easily learns new things. I am such a proud momma when so many people not only tell us how cute she is but also how smart she is.
While I am sad that this first year has come to a close, I look forward to all the new and exciting adventures we will have over the next 12 months until we celebrate her next birthday. I am also hoping that for her next birthday the weather will be a little more "normal". Last year it was 85 the day she was born. This year it was only around 28! I prefer 85!
As today closes, I can fall asleep with a smile knowing what a healthy happy girl we have.
Happy Birthday to my wonderful baby!!
