I blinked....

Last year, at this time I was 36 weeks pregnant. I had no idea how much my life would change, for the better! I swear I merely blinked and now here I am with an 11 month-2 week old baby who is on the verge of her first birthday. I can think back and remember those first weeks and months with her, the sheer joy, sleepless nights and smelling of spit-up. 

But it is all just that, a distant memory in time that went by far too quickly. I wouldn't change a moment of it. I did the best I could to give plenty of tiny feet kisses, memorize every baby-fat roll, took way too many pictures, watched each curl grow and made a few rookie mistakes. All in an attempt to soak in every second and memory while Cupcake is a baby.

I have to admit, today I am living a little in the past as I reflect at hers and our many accomplishments. Life, though it has seemingly whipped by this last year, is exactly as it should be. And though I'm happy, excited and and looking forward to the big número uno on the 28th - I can't help but want time to stand still just a little. 

Counting my blessings today and always for the last year I am fortunate enough to have experienced as Cupcake's Mommy.
