Has it really been nearly TWO years since we began our journey to parenthood? One year (11/15/07) and 39 weeks ago, we created this unbelievable little character we now laugh and play with. She is just the most precious little person around.
I never realized parenting could be this rewarding. I catch myself all the time starring at her while we're amongst other people. I feel the huge smile I have on my face. I know it must really look as though it is plastered to my face. Frankly, it is. I can't stop it.
I can't say that there has been a day in the past 366 that I've regretted being a Daddy. There have been challenging days, don't get me wrong, but at the end of each of those tough days, all I can think about is the HUGE smile and wave I'm going to get the next morning when I see her.
Beck and I always say that it feels like she's been with us all the time. Meaning, all the memories we share, it always seems like she should be in them too. I guess that's common. I'm not sure. All I know is that when my baby girl smiles at me, she lights up my WHOLE world.
I'm not sure how this feeling matures or changes over the years, but I certainly can't imagine a day when my little peanut won't warm my heart like she does.
People always tease me that Charlie has me wrapped around her finger. But that's okay, isn't it?

Yes it is okay for you to be wrapped around her little finger :) You should know... the coolest about being a parent? Every age and stage is better than the last and whatever age they are... you think to yourself... "This is my favorite age."
