Where does the time go?

can you believe it has been a year since my bug came into our lives screaming? it's been a long year....a L O N G year. but, we made it. i never thought we would. i remember sitting there watching her scream and scream thinking that there was something wrong with her not just medically but mentally. all the doctors could say was you have been hit with a double whammy, extreme colic and reflux. she will outgrow it. 12 months later she did. thank you Lord.

my bug has since grown into a little toddler with lots of personality. she loves to dance, any music, any time, any place. she loves her brother. first thing she does in the morning is look for him and say bubba. she loves her dog murphy, dog is what she says as she pets him or feeds him from her chair. she loves to go get a book and bring it to you. she loves to bring you all the diapers from her basket and then take them away from you. she loves to climb. she loves to crawl under things. she is a daredevil. she has bruises everywhere just like her mom. (not that i am a daredevil but i bruise easily.) she loves the wiggles just like her brother did at her age. she loves to take her brother's sippy cups away from him. she is going to be a terror on wheels as she grows older.

she has started giving kisses and that makes up for all the screaming. "they" say you forget the pains of labor, that is true as i had no pain. "they" say you will forget the screaming...i am here to tell you "they" did not meet my bug. there is no way i will ever forget those first months, as much as i wanted them to go away i know that there will be a day i will want them back.

happy birthday bug!
