I've learned this very important lesson: You are capable of so much more than you can even imagine. There were days in the beginning where I wasn't sure I could get her to adulthood, but here we are- not at adulthood yet- but well into toddlerhood. She is a little human with a personality.

I am constantly amazed by my little girl. She is fearless.
