Not much in the way of words for this post. Mostly pictures. I can't find the appropriate words to describe how normal I feel. Kate has just become so much fun, her personality is really taking off, she is showing off new skills everyday and working hard to get new ones too. I believe we are on the precipice of walking. She is now taking two independent steps and getting braver by the attempt, and she senses she is about to accomplish something big too.
The girl loves to swing. She gets mad when she thinks it's over, it makes all of us laugh.
I had spent the better half of last year "waiting for my life to change". That is what I expected when I had Kate and received her diagnosis and that is also what well meaning people told me too. "Plan B", "readjust your dreams" ect.... Well I can't say when I came to this point but I know my life hasn't changed and it is certainly not over! This girl is every bit of the toddler I dreamed of, curious, demanding, loving, needy, trying to do things herself, happy, sad, teething, she has brought me so much more joy than I ever could have imagined. I am so okay with taking one day at a time now, I'll deal with the future when it comes.
I love her.
