ONE YEAR ALREADY

Hey All! Well its already been 1 year. Italia turned one yesterday. I can't believe it! She is getting so big. We had a really good birthday party and all of our family members that could make it were there so it was really nice. (We did miss all of the family that was not able to make it, so there are pics coming) She got a ton of stuff, I could not believe it. She also loved opening the gifts just ripping and ripping sometimes little by little lol. She had a good time! So I just wanted to give a little recap of her first year because of all the milestones and everything else that has happened.

This is the best time of the year. Italia was born on 11/09/07 8 pounds 6 ounces. Bright eyed happy little girl.

I can't remember how old she was, but this is when she was really starting to smile and have some personality. She loved and still loves being naked!

This is when it all the trouble started, she was rolling over, sitting up and working on her crawling.

This was the hardest day of my life. Italia went into surgery and was in for a few hrs. She had to get slits into her skull so that her brain could grow and reform her skull.

This is how she is now. I know there aren't a lot of pictures of her starting to sit up and feeding herself and starting to crawl, and talking but one day I will learn how to put videos up. This has been the best, hardest, fulfilling, life-learning, patient, joyful, trial & error, year of my life. And there are only more to come. Being a mom is amazing and I hope that all of you are able to experience it. I luv you all! Have a good week!
