Dearest Zoe,
WARNING: This blog may contain copious amounts of gushy schmoozy text. Indigestion pills and vomit buckets are strongly recommended.
You're one. And, this has been the best year of my life. Every time I think back to your birth I get very sentimental. You were perfect from day one. You slept well (thank you), you ate well (very enthusiastic and still are), didn't cry much (again, thanks), are the cutest thing ever, and you are so smart! I have enjoyed my year long vacation, and have enjoyed getting to know you. I can see that you are going to have an electric personality with sharp wit. You are always so calm in assessing each situation and then gauge your reaction accordingly. I think you would win SURVIVOR if you were on the show. (well, except that everyone would get mad at you for eating all their food)
We are enjoying chasing after you more than ever. You are a very fast crawler now and cruise the furniture like a pro. Your favourite is the coffee table in the family room, you like to do laps.
You LOVE your music. This you get from your dad. Every time there is music on, you start dancing. You have a couple of toys that play music, and you'll just hit the button continuously and get jiggy with it. Yes, we are sick of the teapot song and I've even caught your Grandpa on video singing along to the "one little two little three little numbers" song. I'll distribute the video.
We are very lucky that Grandma and Grandpa are here to watch you now that I am back at work. It sucks that I can no longer hang out with you all day long and meet up for leisurely coffees or walks with the moms from the mother's group, but going back to work was easier than I expected. I think it has a lot to do with not worrying if you are in good hands, so again, we are lucky. I'll miss our afternoon walks in the sunshine and our morning sing alongs, but maybe I could sing "Head and Shoulders" with some colleagues, I'm sure they know the words.
You are loving your time with the grandparents. On my first day of work, I handed you to Grandpa and said goodbye to you. You were all "Ok, see ya mom… So Grandpa, tell me all about this golf thing".
We heart you Zoe, thanks for enriching our existence!
Mommy and Daddy
