So Many Changes

So many changes and so little time to enjoy those things that are changing. Allie has turned one. She is actually 14 months now. We have had our last first birthday and Christmas. Our last first tooth and sickness. And tomorrow we will have our last first haircut. Her hair is going crazy. It is totally unmanageable and I cannot do anything with it besides pull it up into pig tails. Which is totally cute but when it's down it's crazy. I wanted to wait until she was two but that just isn't going to happen. So tomorrow we will check another first off the list and I will cry over one last bag of curls.
My baby girl has her own little personality now too. She may be the baby of the family but she will tell those boys what she thinks. And we just wish we could understand her. She will tell me that she needs a diaper or that she is hungry or if she wants to go to bed. She will at least bring me her blanket or a snack when she is tired.
With all the big kids in school now we are getting to spend more time together. I can sit and watch her play for hours. She looks so happy just sitting there undisturbed. We cleaned out her closet today and she was right there with me the whole time helping. Or at least throwing stuff all over the room.
She is just so amazingly wonderful. I am so glad that God made me her mommy!
