Well today is Ashley's first birthday! We had family over for a small gathering. There was balloons, cake, snack, etc. It was a lovely, BUT TIRING, day. Natasha was there beside her sister every step of the way; helping with gifts, singing, and of course eating of birthday cake. It seems fitting that way because though today is Ashley's birthday it is also the day Natasha became a big sister. Natasha has taken on the roll with grace (most days) and extreme pride. Always watching for the small objects, open doors, pinched fingers, etc. I am very tired and laying in bed so the pictures will wait until tomorrow.
I can't believe how fast Ashley's first year as zoomed by. It is absolutely amazing how much an infant learns in the first year! From knowing only the basics to walking and communicating all in a matter of 12 months. Ashley took her first steps at about 10 months and then nothing for a month. At 11 months she started trying again. About 2 weeks ago she started walking or trying to everytime she stood up. Soon she will be running trying desperately to keep up to Natasha, Johnny and Koda.
My baby girls has, overnight, became a little girl. She has progressed from infant to toddler.
I am looking forward to this next stage. To witnessing the evolving relationship/friendship she has with her sister, the first words, and first fights with mom.
Thank you Ashley for a great year, and here is to many many more.
