Lauren,

I know I haven't kept up with all of your milestones since you turned one, but you are learning to do so many things I just have to list them down.

You love love love to dance. When you hear any music, you spread your arms out and sway your hips, or your knees, I can't really tell, but it's quite perfect. That's not your only move. You also like to change it up by putting both palms out in front of you, facing them down, then you shake them up and down and even nodd your head to the music.

You are having major separation anxiety. You've only been like this for the last week. You want to hang onto me and don't want me to leave. To be quite honest, I love it. I know this won't last forever so I'm cherishing all of your stages. I vow to not sneak out on you or leave you upset. I want you to know that I will never leave you.

You recently had a terrible constipation experience. It was on a Sunday and Daddy left to go to the gym. I was home alone with you and could tell that you were trying to poo. You walked around and around and started crying. I put you on the toilet and we hugged each other while you were crying and I was trying to help you pass your poo. It finally shot out, you bled, I lactated, and we hugged each other and cried. I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

I recently went to the Women of Faith conference and what really got me was when a speaker asked "what would you not do for your child?" The answer was simple. There is nothing in this world that I would not do for you. I would do anything, absolutely anything for you. I would go to the ends of the world and die for you. No doubt about it. I love you.

There's so much more and I'll try to blog often and in smaller posts so that they're easier to read.

I love you sunshine.
