Best Moments: Seeing you learn and do new things! You are a copy cat to the max. I love doing something and you imitating what I am doing. I cant get enough. It makes my heart spill out on the floor. You also dropped your spoon one night and kept telling it, "come here." It was the cutest thing ever!

Worst Moments: Dealing with all this teething, you falling on your head, suffering separation anxiety and not sleeping at night. 

**Paisley Sunshine: You are the highlight of my life. I just cant seem to get over the fact that you are MY daughter and I get the honor of being your mommy and staying home with you everyday. You never cease to amaze me. I never imagined how great having a daughter would be, but you have exceeded every dream and every imaginary thought of what being a mother would be like. Thank you for making my dreams come true. You are becoming quite the little firecracker, and quite the personality! You have some sass and down right stubbornness about you. We wont talk about where you got that from ;) I love how fast you are learning and grasping things. If you could get up and walk right now I am sure you would be on your way. You never stop. You always have to be moving. Always talking, always making some kind of noise, or imitating us. My favorite thing that you do right now is "come here" If we could ever get it on video I might just be the happiest girl ever! I love your little giggles. Its music to my ears and the growling, although not very lady like, I fall in love with every single time. Its funny! You are a funny girl. We might just be in trouble with you when you get older. I cant wait! Life with you wont ever be boring. Thats for sure! I love you sweet girl! Cant believe how fast my time is flying with you :(
