11 months tomorrow!! I can not believe it, this year has passed me by at warp speed. I am feeling a little melancholy about Abby turning 1 for some reason. I love watching her change and meet new milestones everyday but it is bittersweet since she isn't a "baby" anymore. Now I understand how my mom must feel now that I am going to be 32 this year, argh...I guess the grass is always greener because when she was a teeny baby I was so nervous about everything I was wishing she was older. I can't win. We are starting to plan her birthday party, well...parties. We are having a family/friends party at our hour and a play date joint party w/ Nicholas Abby's friend at a local rec center. I feel like I have alot to do to plan for both of them and I need to get a move on. I am going to be on the look out for some cute, fun things for 1 yr olds to do so if anyone has any ideas, please share.This week Abby has been just learning things out the wazoo. Clapping is one thing she has started doing, I'm so glad as I have been waiting for her to clap for ages! Her little hands clap so daintily it's just as precious as can be. The last couple of weeks she has also started to be able to stand by herself for quite long periods of time without falling, once she even stood up without holding onto anything! I wasn't quite sure what to do at first as I was waiting for her to fall over but she just stood there, both little feet planted firmly on the ground, as if she had been doing it for years.
I have to say I have never been more in love with a human being than I am with my Abigail. I love my Mom and my husband obviously, but this is totally different...it's almost divine, I would do anything for her. I would climb Everest for her, I would walk through fire for her. I would make a complete fool of myself for her, and I do so on a regular basis, just to hear her beautiful laugh and see her smile.
