I also think, no, I know - im having "last birthday as an only child guilt". Does that even exsist or did I just make that up? either way - thats how I feel. I mean we always spoil her - her 1st birthday week/weekend was incredible - but this year I feel like im going overboard because I feel so bad she isnt going to be the only one anymore. Does every parent feel like this? Man its such a weird feeling to explain.
This past year sure has been the most incredible ever. I feel like the milestones and memories were endless. Lets think about some of them :
We had her first, and one of 3, trips to Disney World, she started walking, she counts 1-20, and in spanish 1-10, knows her colors and shapes, talks a mile a minute, sometimes I cant even believe the things she knows - shes a little smarty pants. You have made TONS of new friends, and lost one of your best ( Grandma Sylvia - who I know is watching over you every single day. You always ask for her, she loves you more than anything. ), you have maintained and became closer with the friends you do have. If you are anything like your mommy - you will go through the most important parts of your life with the same best friends, and someday , they will be walking down an aisle holding beautiful flowers at your wedding like mine were. You had your first fat lip, and mommy cried more than you did, and even have taken a good few tumbles down the stairs :) You love your grandparents more than I could ever even explain, and you are endlessly happy when around them. Bath time is your favorite thing, your daddy truly is your best friend - 2 peas in a pod doesnt even explain it, you scream SEAT BELT the second somebody gets in the drivers seat, and you yell IM OKAY - every single time you fall. I could name all the silly and fun things you did - but everybody who knows you, gets to see them all the time, and id be here for years naming everything precious you do.
