A’s First Year

What a year it has been. This sweet girl of mine has taught me so much about being a mama and I believe with all of my heart that as a mother you have to do whatever is best for your child, following their lead because every child is different. I talked about it all here, previously. We have had such an amazing year of firsts. First thanksgiving, first Christmas, first Summer Reading Program, first trip to Kansas\, first trip to the Splash Park, I learned my desire is to be home with A full time, took our first hike, we were in our first contest, made our first trip to the pumpkin patch,and had our first Halloween.  Today we are going to the zoo for the very first time. And tomorrow is obviously, her first birthday party ever.

The year has been full of new things – like her seven teeth, and how she now runs around like she’s been walking her whole life. It’s amazing how much happens in a year.
