Fast approaching 1 year

I've been in denial for a few months now that Weslyn will soon be 1 year old. People have asked me, "What are you going to do for her 1st  birthday?" I told them, "She's not having a 1st birthday. We talked about it and Weslyn's going to stay a baby...forever." Ugh. I know I'm crazy, but the thought of this little baby starting to walk, talk and become more independent makes me want to cry...just a little. Lawton told me recently that I needed to snap back into reality because this girl is growing up. I'm excited for what's to come but I wasn't prepared for babyhood to go by this fast. With every little move she makes toward walking and every new syllable that comes out of her mouth she's becoming more of a toddler and that little baby is disappearing. My little baby (insert tears). Lucky for me she's still cuddly and wants her dear ol' mom to pick her up often.

I'm starting to come to the realization though that the fun is just beginning. Taking care of the little baby was sweet and special, but we're all excited about the next few months ahead...especially Daddy. For now, I'm going to soak up the last month and a half I have with  little baby Weslyn and start preparing for little girl Weslyn.
