A year ago right now I looked like this:
(leaving for the hospital… no fat jokes please… 
)
I was going a little berzerko waiting for Tessa Grace to arrive… not realizing I still had several more hours ahead of me! But then, this!:
I can’t believe it’s been a year already! I’m trying not to be depressed that I am done with babies. In so many ways, the first year is my favorite part. Beyond all of the lack of sleep and feeding constantly, the only other thing babies really need is love. I can do that. It’s this “raising them” thing that’s giving me a hard time!
But in true Underwood fashion, we can’t let her sweet, special day go by without honoring her, so here are her accomplishments as of today:
+says “DaDa”, “Momma”, has a name for each sibling that I don’t know how to type out, signs and says “more,” and waves and says “bye.” She also says dog, which sounds a lot like the first name I wrote! (However she says, “da da da” for dog… can’t you tell the difference??)
+she figured out how to climb up stairs… argh!!!
+she discovered the “water park”- known to everyone else in the family as the toilet- and tries to play in it whenever a kid leaves the bathroom door open.
+and to celebrate this day, this morning she figured out how to climb out of a high chair at the coffee shop!
Yep… year two, here we come~
