Happy Birthday Baby!

One year ago today my life changed forever. Joey's life changed forever. Sophia's life began. Sophia was born NINE DAYS late. She was very comfortable in the womb. In fact, even after my induction began it still took 20+ hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing to get her to come into this world. I will never forget the relief I felt when she came out. Not just because I was exhausted and really really wanted her to come out but because all those months of wondering and worrying (and heartburn!!!) had finally come to such a wonderful end...and a wonderful beginning.
I can't even wrap my head around how the time has flown by over the last year. I get a little sad when I think back over the year because I just wish I could slow things down. Before I know it my baby will be a big girl and I will really wonder where the heck the time went. It kills me just to think about it!! I get excited though as well. I love all the "firsts" and so many are happening these days. It seems like something new happens daily around here. Each "first" is just as exciting as the last and it keeps happening all the time. I love it!!
I love being Sophia's mom! We have great fun together. She has a very strong little personality and definitely knows what she wants and doesn't want. She loves her mommy and daddy and really loves her blankey. I feel like she is just like me but just like Joey at the same time. She is the perfect mixture of both of us. It blows my mind sometimes.

Well little one we love you very much!!! Happy 1st birthday!!!
