It has come so quickly.
My baby's first year of life is complete.
And I am sad :(

No more newborn cry or smell; no more "yellow popcorn poop"; no more sitting in one place - unable to move - and happy as can be; no more first tooth; no more first babble; no more first smile and laugh.......(sigh).
I really am mourning the fact that she is already one. Why am I having such a hard time with this?
But, I am looking forward to her first steps, first word, first tantrum (maybe not), her little personality developing. Oh, how I love babies!
Just sad that mine is growing up and will soon not be a baby anymore.
On a happier note - we had lots of fun celebrating her 1st birthday. She thought it was great being able to dig into her very own cake....and open presents....and have everyone sing to just her.


Oh Ava - you will always be my "baby". I love you so much and am so grateful to call you MINE! You bring complete happiness to our family.
HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY!!
