Year in Review!
What a year it’s been! Chris and I were just telling Sophia as we tucked her in for the night that she was going to wake up in a whole new year tomorrow morning (Hmm…wishful thinking that it will actually be “the morning” when she wakes up? We’re in the middle of fun-filled nights of sleep training around here again.)
But yeah, it’s been a pretty amazing year for us. During this past year Sophia turned from a baby into a kid. Quite a transformation! Last year, she was just on the sidelines watching all the holiday fun. Check her out here “making cookies” (read: supervising and drooling) at Grandma’s house.
This year, she was an active participant in the fun and mess! And I am NOT kidding when I say active — everything has to be felt, tasted, banged on, shoved in a open orifice, picked up and run off with, or yammered at these days.
2006 was an intense year — a year of full-time working and full-time mommying. We’ve had our share of struggles, but I am amazed by the way our little family sticks together. I am excited for this new year — a year that is full of many unknowns, both exciting and scary at the same time. But if I ever get anxious about what’s in store for us, I just need to look back on all we’ve accomplished in one short year and be reminded that 2007, only minutes away, is a blank slate waiting to be filled in with lots of new adventures.
On that note: Our 2006 Year in Review!
We played in the snow.
We danced. (And danced and danced.)
We learned new skills.
All very useful.
We laughed.
A lot.
We played.
A lot.
We accessorized.
And primped.
We swam in the pool.
And at the beach.
We ate cake!
And fried fair food!
But mostly, we snuggled and held each other close!
Happy New Year from Girl’s Life. I hope you have someone you love nearby that you can snuggle with this New Year’s. I know I’ll be keeping my two favorites as close as possible!
