We can't believe that we are saying this but tomorrow our little girl will be one year old. We have been so blessed this year and learned alot as parents. From suddenly having to learn how to change diapers to just keeping up with a little girl on the move. Talking and walking have started as well as her smile that is now showing some teeth. She has traveled on a plane and had an overnight hospital stay. She has learned how to dance and how to wrap her Grandpa's around her cute finger. As parents we have totally shifted our priorities and now ask " how will this effect us as a family" quite a bit more often. Carolyn is perfectly fine and shows no signs of her six week NICU stay. She has grown in to a vibrant one year old and can be independent at times but at the same time she only wants one of us for a place to take a nap on the weekends. As parents we have challenged our immune systems, learned how to conquer stubborn car seats, be ok with being thrown-up on, and finally learning how to go to work on four hours of sleep. Through it all we have loved it all. Now we are heading on a new adventure. On to year two! We have many changes planned. Hopefully an new home and a new baby sister or brother for Carolyn. Through it all we will keep you updated, but probably not enough for everyone. We will be having a party on Saturday to celebrate the first year and look forward to watching our little girl keep growing!
