My Caitlin before a year old

In less than 2 weeks, my baby girl will be a year old and I find myself looking at her in amazement at how fast she has grown. She is on the verge of talking, she is walking like a pro and she has become the loveliest baby to hug, kiss and play with all day long. I cannot wait to rush home everyday to play with her and her many toys, read her favorite books and watch videos with her.

I find myself a little sad that months have passed by and I will never again see her as the little baby that she was. Each day sees her changing so much and I try my best to stop time and treasure each moment that I am with her but it just seems to be speeding by every time she takes a step further than the day before and every time she tries to say a new word. Tomorrow being my first mother's day has made me come to the realization that while my whole life has changed since the day she came home, I have never loved anything or anyone more.
