It's just completely perplexing.
One entire year...365 days gone. Well, 360 anyway. Five days to go until the bebe is 1 whole year. From what I understand they only pass more quickly. Thinking back to those early days, the first day up until about the fourth week, it seemed like parenthood would drag on for.ev.er.
Those are the toughest days...just getting used to the fact that you are no longer the center of your own world...or anyone esle's for that matter. You're now just a moon orbiting around this tiny little planet. This magnetic being that, for no explainable reason, you can't help but be drawn to. You love your spouse with all your heart and soul and think that this is the pinnacle of love. Then you meet this one tiny person and instantly that love is magnified beyond all that you've known before. It's almost intangible.
So here we are, frantically pulling things together for the first birthday party. The celebration of one year since we met the most special little girl in our lives. On our tiny little planet. This is the second Christmas too...although I'd hardly call last year her first one. She was merely in existence and didn't get the chance to experience it. This year will be MUCH different. She already looks longingly at the Christmas tree. Here's to hoping she doesn't pull it over...at least not until after Christmas. That reminds me...time to find some fishing string to tie the thing to the curtain rods nearby. That should do the trick eh?
Well, in any case, here are a few pictures highlighting the past year. Here's to many more wonderful years and waaaay to many pictures to come!
