Reflection

This summer has been so incredible for me as a first time mom. Sometimes I feel as though my daughter has taught me more about life and the way to live then anything else has. I have learned how to really love, to capture every moment and to look at the simplest things with extreme pleasure. Everyday she is learning and so excited about life. Yesterday she pooped in her potty for the first time. (even though I think she was more terrified then excited) She has stopped her crawling and walking and has started to climb and to run after anything and everything with reckless abandon. She is her happiest surrounded by people and anywhere outside. She does not like the grass or the water but instead enjoys the sand and good old solid cement. She loves to say uh oh to everything and Lucy has become her best friend. She chases her around the house hanging her clothes on Lucy's head and trying to lean over and kiss her constantly. She has learned how to throw Lucy's ball and will mimic almost anything that her parents do. When I brush my hair out in the morning she tries to brush hers, when I am on the phone she puts a phone to her shoulder and talks, she is always trying to put her clothes on even when she already has them on. The other morning as Kurt was drinking his coffee she came out of the bedroom with a sock and kept trying to put it on his foot. She can now take her clothes off including her diaper and has even learned how to use a zipper. I am so excited to see what the next year will bring in learning and excitement for her and I both.
