It is so hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our sweet baby girl Callie Grace Pughe was born on Monday February 12, 2007 at 5:58 p.m! Our life has changed so much, but at the same time it is hard to remember life before her. She brightens everyday and I feel so incredibly blessed that God chose us to be her parents! It is amazing all the feelings that I feel when I look at her....overwhelming love, joy, hope, fear, pride, promise...and to think I get to be so lucky to feel these things daily! I never knew that I could love someone this much and kiss someone a hundred times a day and still want to wake up and do it again tomorrow! I have always dreamed of becomming a Mommy, but I could have never prepared myself for feeling this much love! She is doing so much now. She started crawling on December 21st at 10 and 1/2 months old and since then she is pulling up and cruising the furniture, she also walks behind her walker now! I have a feeling that her first steps are in our very near future! Apart of me wants to stop time and take it all in, but the other part of me if so proud of the little girl she is becomming....no longer my baby! She says Dada, Mama, Yeah, Hi, Hey....never on demand, only when she wants to! She has such a strong personality already and she makes everyone laugh and smile everytime they are around her! I want to be the best person that I can be now that she is in my life! She gives the best kisses and makes both of us a little teary eyed every time! I never thought I would be a silly as I am now. I go to great lengths to make her laugh and smile! I spend my days singing, jumping around and playing and would do anything just to see her smile! She has 8 teeth now, 4 on top and 4 on bottom and she is in so much pain at the moment because she has more on the way, I wish I could take the pain away from her! I often worry about silly things like her getting hurt one day or her heart broken....they are both inevitable, but I wish she wouldn't have to experience those things...although I know that those experiences make us who we are! I worry about horrible things, and when I think back now to my high school years I think why did I lie to my parents about where I was, or ride around with people who shouldn't have been driving! I can only imagine the worry they felt! I always ask my Mom, "do you really love me as much as I love her?" She always says....yes! I guess you truly never know until you have a child of your own! So in a week from today my sweet baby girl will have her first birthday and I can honestly say that this has been the BEST year of my life!!!!!
