She's one!
I wish I was more excited to write that and I feel awful for not even wanting to post this but I'm pretty emotional about her not being a baby anymore. I just cant believe that a whole year has gone by and I wont be cuddling with a newborn ever again, nor will I feel that baby in my belly giving me heartburn and punching my right rib cage. As hard as Cassidys pregnancy was for me (and anyone who had to deal with me) I just don't feel ready to close that chapter. So as she turns 1 I am reminded how quickly time slips away.
She is so amazing and beautiful and her personality gets more interesting everyday. She isn't completely walking yet and finds its easier and faster to crawl still. But within weeks I know this will change. She does that baby drunk walk right now and is still figuring out the whole balance thing. She is talking a bunch and has this crazy high pitch scream that makes Mariah Carey sound like a bass. She says mom, dad, pretty, tickle, bye-bye and waves. She will give you a kiss and I think she is close to blowing you a kiss too. She is scared of whoopee cushions and random weird things that I cant figure out yet. She is a total flirt and has already figured out how to charm people with that smile of hers. She doesn't eat much baby food anymore and pretty much eats whatever we do. Although she is still drinking that expensive formula but it has lots of good vitamins and is easier on her tummy so we will stay with that for awhile. She still wakes up at night but its not every night and sometimes I think she wakes up out of habit. She loves to dance, all 3 of my kids LOVE to dance and daily we watch them burn off energy by turning up the tunes and watch them run around shakin their booties. That is our form of entertainment and something I will remember forever! She has many nicknames, Cass, Cassie, CassieRoo, sissy, peanut, love, Thomas calls her tug boat too.
She has a smile that makes you melt instantly,
She has a laugh that brings me to tears,
When she lays her head on my shoulder I feel like I could hold her forever,
When she looks at me I memorize every detail of that incredible stare that only we share, together.
She is my dream that came true and I cant imagine my life without this perfect little girl.
Happy Birthday Love
