It's hard to believe that almost an entire year ago Ruby was born. She came a week early and changed our lives in so many ways. I wanted to start blogging when she was born but won't make any excuses. Life is much busier now, that's about it.
I won't be able to recapture every single precious moment of this past year but I'll do my best to provide the highlights. She's gone from being helpless and completely dependent to a very strong-willed little girl in her short time 'on the outside'. It's truly remarkable how much growth and development takes place in the first year of human life. I often find myself in awe. In awe of Ruby and how beautiful she is. How smart she is. How loving, happy and curious she is. And then there are the moments when I find myself wondering "why the $#@! won't you sleep?!"
A year ago, I couldn't have imagined what life would be like now... I have a daughter... I'm actually somebody's mother. That little someone holds my hand and gives hugs and love bites. And now, I don't know how I managed to survive for so long without her.
Here are some bits and pieces of us during this first year of Ruby's life.....
