Hear ye! Hear
ye! Her Omnipotence, the Duchess of
Drooly Disaster, Her Royal “Up High” -ness, the Queen of Wiggles and Squeals, Sprinkles,
turns 1 on this truly auspicious day. We
will all bow our heads and remember (well, not you guys. That would just be weird.)her easy labor ( 4 hours total and only 2 stitches!) and speedy delivery into this world, a world that is a better place because of her arrival….
Baby girl is 1! Oh
gawd, my baby is 1? Wait… where did
that last WHOLE YEAR go? I mean, I
remember something about her not letting me put her down for 6 months and how
she was so big at birth that many of the baby clothes people had bought for her
didn’t fit. And how her shoulder was
hurt but that couldn’t, wouldn’t, AND DIDN’T
stop her. And about how she was colicky
and thrushy (we be a thrushy people) but still ate well and GREW LIKE A
WEED. And about how her eyes just got
bluer and bluer so as to make the sky on a sunny summer day jealous. And how, when she first started to really
smile, it would get wider and wider until it seemed as if her entire face was
one huge, toothless grin. And how she
was such a quiet and thoughtful baby until one day she WOKE UP and it was all
shrieks and singing and wiggling and sumo wrestling her brother. And how when she started walking, she planted
her feet wide and stomped the floor as if she was announcing to the world “Here
I come!” And how she learned to wave and
say “Hi” and she sounded just. like. me. ….
And how she was my little baby and now she’s a big girl with opinions
and thoughts and a shout that can shake the rafters… and a whisper that tickles
your ear and smells like graham crackers… *sniff* Okay, so I do remember SOME things. It’s not ALL lost in the haze of sleep deprivation
and tornado-life.J
My baby is 1… but she will always be my baby…
