It is hard to believe that Baby Girl is 14 months old today! Time sure does fly after those first few months. Sometimes I wonder if I am still able to care for a tiny little baby. So much has happened, so quickly, that its starting to feel like a lifetime since Baby Girl was a wee thing.

So I am trying to enjoy these small moments and drink them in because before I know it Baby Girl will be in high school and she won't want to have anything to do with me.
