Don and I really can't believe that a whole year has gone by already. All day yesterday we were remembering where we were a year ago. Calum has really changed our lives. Our house is in a constant state of chaos, I can't remember the last time Don and I had a kid-free day, we know all the words to "Elmo's World!" and buy kid-themed DVDs and, well, we love it.
It has been a year of little worries over every little sniffle, bump or cough. I now know why parents blame kids for greying hair and am unappologetic about turning into one of those people whose first priority in life is their kids. Everything else pales in comparison. We've marveled at everything from the first yawn to the first tentative steps. When Calum was just the "baby on the way" I had so many ideas about what he would be like - caring, warm, cuddly, smart, gentle......But now I'm so much happier with what he is. He's stubborn, determined, curious, willful and so much more than I had imagined. It's been a great year. I can't wait to see what the next one will bring.
