Excuse me over here while I am feeling all sentimental this week.......My baby girl will be one in just a couple of days. I find myself (as I have all year) wanting to document every little thing. I have written her letters all year, taken a billion pictures, and a good bit of video. A couple of weeks ago Brett and I attempted to document some of our evening routine with a little video. It certainly isn't perfect, and we are certainly not videographers, but I want to remember these things. My parents have so many home videos of us from when we were little, and I want to have more than just what I catch on my I-Phone, which is still totally acceptable, and my go-to quite frequently.
I want to remember how we let her play in her diaper right before her bath. I want to remember how excited she gets in the bath (not that it has always been this way... :) ). I certainly want to remember rocking and nursing her in that chair. I have spent SO MUCH TIME in that chair during this first year of her life. I know I will continue to rock her and sit in it, but I am certain that as she is getting older those times will be fewer. I have done a whole lot of praying, crying, laughing, smiling, and thanking the Lord in the chair.
Mainly, I made this for myself, and for Brett and I to look back on and show our girl one day. We are feeling a little sappy over here this week, and are overwhelmingly grateful for the gift of our baby girl.
