One Year and Counting

We made it through our first year of marriage!!! I can't believe it has already been a year!  Chris and I celebrated our one year anniversary on Mother's Day.  I got two firsts in one action packed weekend in Dallas :)  We had a wonderful time in visiting all of Chris' family for the weekend, and had a blast showing off Keira and Bishop.  It was a whirlwind trip, and from this I have decided that I am NOT a good traveller, especially a traveling mother.  I forget things like bottles, diaper cream, my shoes, etc.  It doesn't help that I also tend to pack like oh 10 minutes before we are supposed to be walking out the door, and now I must pack for two, really three because Chris forgets things too.

Keira learned how to walk (behind a push walker) before we went down there so we had to show everyone her new moves.  The fun has just begun, yesterday I left her in the living room while I went to do my make-up in the bathroom (mind you I can see the living room through the mirror in the bathroom) and while I was in there for a total of like 3 min she managed to pull down an entire shelf of her books, all of her toys, and all of our dvds and then managed to somehow scatter them across the whole entire living room.  I never, ever in a million years thought I would say I missed the days when she didn't crawl or walk... man I didn't know how lucky I had it.  Anyway, she is well on the way to beating my record of 9 months and walking, lucky us.  Got a genius on our hands!
