Wednesday 5th August 2009One Year On

So Natalie turned one last Sunday (the 2nd - check the Gallery for a few photos) and it's a good time to look back on the past year.

Lows:

• Sleep, right at the top.
• Allergies - Natalie wasn't very happy for a while until we discovered her allergies to Cats, Eggs & Milk. Once those were discovered it became a lot easier.
• Having to take her to hospital because she wasn't feeding and was getting dehydrated.
  

Highs:

• The first time she smiled at us.
• The first time she laughed/giggled.
• Every subsequent time she smiled or laughed/giggled at us.
• When she started sitting up on her own.
• When she started crawling.
• When she started pulling herself to standing.
• When she started "talking".
• Any night she sleeps through.
• The way Sammy behaves towards her (extremely tolerant).
• Her reaction every time she sees Sammy (she loves Sammy).
• Every time she does something new.
• When she first started giving us "kisses" (just before her birthday).
• Cuddles.
• Millions of great photos.
• The trip to Australia going very smoothly.
  
• Pretty much everything else...

To summarise, there are a lot more high moments than lows... or at least you remember more highs than lows.

Best daughter ever!
