remember when....

With Bean's 1st birthday coming up it has me realizing how quickly time goes by and how much she is growing up! Life is so different now than it was a year ago and I love every minute of it...even when it gets a little crazy and hectic! She is so much and I want to capture every minute of her! So, with her birthday a week away as of tomorrow I figured we could have a week of Beans:) To start us off on the eve of the week, here is some remember whens for Beans from over the past year...


-Remember when this time last year I was already 3 days overdue and praying she would come soon.
-Remember when Brad looked at me when I was in the hospital and Beans was in her little bassinet and he said "can you believe that she is ours".
-Remember when you met all your friends and family for the first time, even a trip to Nashville.
-Remember when we took you to see the ocean for dada's 30th birthday and how I fretted because I thought we lost your blanket that I loved so much (all to find out it was in our room!)
-Remember when you went to stay with nana all day for the first time
-Remember when Pops looked at you when he was holding you for the first time and said "you are going to have such a fun life!"
-Remember when you had intensive roll over training with dada and finally rolled over that night for the first time. Dada cheered so loud it scared you and you didn't roll over again for a few weeks after that!
-Remember when you ate your first green bean...followed by a gag:)
-Remember when you tasted chocolate icing for the first time and just smiled!
-Remember when you learned fishlips and kisses (both of which are the same when you do them!)
-Remember when you slept in your bed in your own room for the first time and did great!
-Remember when I ran out of diapers and put you in some swimmers to go to the store and you peed all in the buggy (oops...did I forget to mention that on the blog...yeah, it was bad! I had no idea those things were only poop catchers!)
-Remember when you sat naked in the kitchen with a bowl of water and just had a blast
-Remember how dada used to turn on music and dance with you so you would fall asleep
-Remember when we had to go to the ER because you wouldn't eat...only to find out you were a little dehydrated and had a lot of poop:)
-Remember how you loved your aquarium and loved to sit in it in the mornings and listen to music.
-Remember how Alicia Keys put you to sleep in a heartbeat. We would drive with that on just to have us time while Beans napped.


I could go on but my bed is calling...those are some things I have been wanting to get down so that years from now we can remember the little things that make life so grand!
