Unbelievable Blessings

I still cannot believe that Danika is 13 months old. It seems like yesterday that I was holding her in my arms for the first time. Memories come to me in flashes, and I laugh so much thinking about them. Like how I somehow got out of changing Danika's diaper until she was about 2 weeks old. Mom and Jamie just took over and volunteered all the time. My mistake was mentioning it and joking about it, lol!
Or the time I took Danika for her one month pictures at JCPennys and she had a terrible diaper. Her tights ended up full and we had to wash her dress in the sink at the bathrooms, and how she didnt crack a smile until after we were done with everything. I tried so hard to be mad at her, but with that little smile, how can anyone stay mad?
The time Jamie and I freaked out because we thought she rolled over all by herself when she was just a few weeks old. It really was just that she was laying on the couch and my sitting next to her made the cushion go down so she rolled over.

*sigh* So many memories and so many pictures. I wish I could put them all on here! Now Danika is starting to walk. I think that she really could walk by herself if she wanted to, but she is too cautious. And she sits and reads her books to herself with her cute little voice. And we have so much fun making the monkey noise together and making faces at each other. She makes us all laugh so much.

I never knew how much fun I would have, how much love I would feel and how happy I would always be with her. Everyday is a new happiness, a new adventure and new love. I couldn't ask for more.
