A year ago today!

A year ago today was the first time I saw the face of my beautiful little girl. As I've reflected on this over the last couple of days I've gone between 'That was a year ago!?' and 'It's only been a year?’ Laine has is such a blessing in my life, an exasperating, trying, tiring blessing. I now understand the sentiment 'I love her more each day,' because each day is something new. I describe her development as on hyper drive, she went from being several months behind in Feb. to being ahead in verbal today. She was slow to walk, but now I miss her staying in one spot and all the scooting on her bum. It is great that she can communicate what she wants and she certainly expresses herself when she doesn't get it! The referral paperwork described her as cheerful, which is true and obstinate sometimes, I guess I should have known what I was in for if they new that at 6 months! Yes, things have changed, but I think the pictures below will bring you back to the first time that you saw sweet Laine and maybe realize that things haven't changed that much!
