forty-eight weeks new

They say time flies when you're having fun.

And it was definitely true

considering the speed your first year was flying by at.

In four weeks time you be a year old,

and it felt like we had hardly had time to catch our breath since you were born.

You were such a happy smiley little girl

but you were definitely more discerning than your brother had been as a baby.

You liked to check people out for a bit first

and decide if they were worth your smiles.

It was so funny the way you would appear to look people up and down

as you tried to suss them out.

Your relationship with Daddy was really growing and changing a lot lately

and the two of you were starting to have special little looks and little smiles.

You had been such a mummy's girl ever since birth

that it was really nice for him to get a look in.

Your little face absolutely lit up when he walked through the door from work

and you would giggle really loudly when he smiled at you

with the cutest little twinkle in your eye.

You were going through a bit of a clingy stage

where you had some real separation anxiety if Mummy went out of sight.

We were trying to play lots of peekaboo games with you

in an attempt to teach you that we always came back.

But you didn't seem to find the games very funny,

when you wanted Mummy

nothing else would do.
