I love being a mom

My child is now 14 months old. And she has come so far in her short life. She is walking...she is saying words, she is becoming more and more cuddly and loving. (Kisses and hugs by the dozen.) I know that as she heads into her second year there will be new challenges and it will get a bit more difficult, but then again maybe not. I am being realistic, I know she will have her moments, moments where I won't want to be a mom due to how frustrated she makes me, and her little fits will come as well.

Some of her words right now include Mom, Daddy, kitty, bath, "there it is", and my favorite "thanks." (Yes my child has picked up on the fact that whenever I take something or she hands me something I say thanks. And she has done it every time I give her a bottle or something else that she likes. Sooo cute!)

When my mom comes over, it's like magic. My daughter was over playing with her toys one evening when my mom came home with me to see her before picking up my brother from work. When Willow saw me, she started babbling and showing me how she was playing with her toys. But when she saw my mom, she shrieked "HI NANA" and scrambled over and practically begged my mom to pick her up.

I have enjoyed so much the past year of her life and as she gets older and more interactive with DH and I, it's absolutely wonderful. She is a character, putting in her little "mhmm" when she wants her opinions heard.

It may soon be time to start trying for another one but for right now the little monkey we have just makes our world complete and our hearts full of joy!
