Time heals all wounds

This post has been a long time coming. A lot of changes have happened over the past year. Your Mother and I are together again. You wake up early in the mornig, usually between 6 and 6:30pm. We give you your first bottle of the day, check your diaper and Mom and I drink coffee together and wait to feed you breakfast. You are in your best mood of the day when you wake up. After breakfast it's time to play and by 8:30 it's off for your daily trip in the stroller with your Mother and I as we walk around the country nieghborhood we live in and show you all the animals and try and teach you to say their names. You like to say dog, ball and will also walk around the house saying ma ma ma ma and da da da da. When we get back home you will find either flash cards or a book and bring it to us to read or show you. Around 10:45 or 11:00 you like to have a half a bottle and your mid-day nap. Mommy and me usually take a little nap oursleves but not for long because this time of the day we can spend "special time" together without worrying about what you are getting into or walking in on us. When you awake from your nap it's time to check your diaper again, pick out a dvd for you to watch and later outside to play in the swing or your water table. You are getting the hang of walking, but stairs still require some assistance. Around 5:30 it's bath time, then dinner. We read to you as you drink your last bottle before you are off to bed. Then Mommy and I can have dinner aqnd spend time talking about the events of the day and make plans for what we are going to do as a family when our days off and evenings permit. You are such a smart and fun little girl. I think we are so lucky to have you and each other. Parenting is not an easy task, but the rewards are immeasurable. There's no greater feeling in the world to have your daughter's hand in yours as you walk, or to feel so needed and loved. When you were first born I was worried about how the dynamics would change with your needs added to the equation but now I know. It's heaven to be your Daddy and Michelle's partner, I feel so loved and complete. We are so blessed to have you in our lives Chloe Jade!
