11 1/2 months

Well here we are wrapping up the last few weeks of Rae being a baby. My baby is 11 1/2 months old and I cannot believe it. I have an issue with time. I've never liked how fast it goes or the fact that you can't pause or rewind. Even growing up I never cared to age, I would have been content staying 16 forever. As I have grown up, I have come to accept there is nothing you can do about it....so embrace it. You can never go back in time, but you can document it and have glimpses of the past. As I'm planning Rae's 1st birthday, I am so proud of myself looking back over the past year. Seeing all the pictures, reading blog posts, looking in her baby book, gives me such joy in knowing although I will never get those special moments back of her being a baby, I can, in a way, travel back in time and catch a glimpse of her soft baby skin or dreamy smiles. It's amazing how fast they really grow. She has quite the personality on her now! She is such a character. Always laughing and playing. She is always so happy and easy to please. Her hair is just long enough I can put pig tails in! They stick straight out and when we put her in her car seat, the sides push them up to little points that resembles devil horns :) which is quite fitting considering the fact she has learned to hit and punch these last two weeks along with screaming and letting you know she does/does not want something. How will I ever survive?!?
