First Year Down!

A whole year has flown by since we brought home our little peanut, pickle-puss, kid, baby or more commonly known as... Mealz.

The best way to explain this past year is that you never realize how quick time flies when you have no time to think about it. With all of the diapers, sleepless nights, which I seem to be able to function with, the bottles, the baths, the messy meals and sleepless nights... did I already say that?

Now that she is a whole year older, things have changed. Our little peanut has turned into a bruiser! She used to pound around on her knees and not she up! Getting herself into all sorts of trouble. I said this in an earlier post that it was cute in the beginning but now it's just scary seeing how she can pull things down and get on top of pretty much whatever she wants. We went from sleepless nights to all out worry and panic all day until she goes to bed.

Seeing a human grow from a fragile being to a walking talking almost member of society is a great thing to see. The emotions that develop are incredible. I now get an excited smile every time I come home from work whereas before, I'm not sure she even knew who I was. She has developed a love of trees, weird. An understanding of what a cookie is and now that she knows that, she's always asking for one. She has also become quite aware of her day to day schedule. She knows after dinner its time for a bath and then it's story time. She actually knows what to expect and in what order things come in.

These are literally just a few of the things she has developed in her first year and I have no idea what comes next but I'm sure it's going to be fun.
