ONE

I can't believe this precious girl is one. ONE. O-N-E. I have a ONE year old. I have been a mom for ONE whole year. I now know what people mean when they say that time goes by even faster with a child. In some ways it seems to me that I have had Campbell forever. I feel like she has always been part of me and I can barely recall what life was like without her. But in other ways I feel like she was just born yesterday. I remember it like it just happened.
And here we are. One year later. ONE. Wow. It happened so fast, I feel like she was 9 months old 5 minutes ago.
I have treasured every single moment of this first year. And it hasn't all been easy. But every second has been worth it and I wouldn't change a thing {ok, maybe I would change the fact that I spent her 1 month bday/our 4th anniversary in the ER with mastitis, but other than that...} there have been countless sleepless nights, hours of crying and moments of insanity but for each sleepless night I've had sweet cuddly naps with my girl, for all the crying I've had hundreds of sweet open mouthed baby kisses and for the moments of insanity I've had moments of uncontained joy and laughter with my daughter. I wouldn't trade any of this for the world. I love being a mother more than I ever thought that I would...and that's a lot considering that the only thing I ever REALLY wanted to do was be a wife and a mom. I feel so blessed that God has chosen me to raise this little girl!

Munchkin Monday

This is what we were up to all weekend. Her liking the sand like this lasted about 5 minutes, but we still had a great time! :)

Munchkin Monday

I am having so much fun with this little one lately...

She is so full of energy and always keeps me laughing....and on my toes! Look what she is doing already:

That's right...she's WALKING! Watch out world! 

She is also making the cutest faces lately, and I was so excited that I was able to catch them with the camera before she went down for her nap this afternoon. How can you resist this face?

I love how she just scrunches those little cheeks!!

Seriously! I could just kiss these cheeks off!!

Her favorite thing to do right now is point and say "who's that?" or "what's that?" {which comes out more that "psst that"....A-DOR-A-BLE!}

There is that scrunched up face again....LOVE HER!

I love how dainty and girly she is acting. I have caught her sitting with her little feet crossed so much lately and it's so cute!

Of course she doesn't always sit so lady like...

I don't know what this is about. Maybe she's stretching? Who knows? She is obsessed with her feet, sometimes I find her trying to bite her toes. Cute kid! 

Notice the shoes? I am trying to get her used to walking in shoes but it is not going so well right now. Anytime I put shoes on her she won't walk. All in due time I guess.
