My husband just left with my daughter. She is going for her one year check up at the pediatricians office. It makes me sad knowing she's going to get several shots and I'm not going to be there to comfort her. I hope they make it back home before I have to leave for work. At least I'll get to see with my own eyes that she's not traumatized. Yes, I'm a little over-protective when it comes to her.

I remember going in there a year ago for her very first office visit. She was a week old and everyone that came in with their kids was like, "Oh, a brand new baby! It goes by so fast. Before you know it she'll be coming for her 1 year check up." I hated hearing that at the time because I knew they were right. I knew it wouldn't be long before she was no longer the brand new baby. I miss it a little bit, but you know... every month since then has just gotten better. She's at such a fun age right now. Learning so much every day and her personality just keeps growing. She's amazing to me.
