47 Weeks!

My baby is learning so many new things.  It is just incredible to watch her mind working.  She loves to shake her head no even though she doesn't really know what she is doing.  We are working on shaking it yes but so far we have only gotten to no.  Her language is still growing and she still isn't walking.  I know that I shouldn't expect her to be walking yet so I'm not really worried about it.  I know she can do it if she really wanted to, she is able to stand but the moment she realizes she isn't holding on to something she just sits down.  She is so adorable.  Her daddy has taught her to give eskimo kisses, she almost takes off the whole side of your face but that is okay.  She gives full blown hugs now that are just so sweet that it made me just about cry the first time she did it.  She will put her little fingers behind your neck and rub on you. I just love that little baby so much.  I can't wait to get her every evening and play just to see what silly things she is going to do. I wish that I have been able to stay home with her and I get sad knowing that her first year is almost over and feel that we have missed out on some things.  The older she gets the more I will miss but I am accepting the fact it will never be a reality.  It really stinks but I need to be thankful for what I have.
