It's amaizing how fast time has gone and how deep this little one has placed herself in my heart. I never thought I would love being a Mom as much as I do and I definately never thought I would be such a worrier over her either.
Those family members who live in close proximity know this and may judge me for it too, but what can I say, she's my first. However, after the next kid comes along, I'll let you know if that really is the case, or if I really have become something I never intended...a worry-wart.
Some of the reasons why?
-I want to avoid certain parenting methods others practice and think I should practice.
-I have the oddest dreams of forgetting to feed Claire, or locking her in the car......etc.
-She's my first and I have the time and energy to worry about a lot.
-Don't trust certain people (which is one I never thought would be my "beef" before-at least not in the way I am experiencing it)
'nough said
So, not to sound negative, despite that I texted my parents 10 times during the movie Lyndon, Rich, Xav, and I went to see last night (Prince Caspean - awesome, loved it, makes you feel good movie) I am getting better, a little better, about leaving my 1 year old!
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Claire!!! Missy, I think that it gets easier as they get older to leave them for a while, it is still hard for me, but a lot easier than it was a year ago.
wow that went fast! I cant believe she is 1!! She is still so stinking adorable! i wish we lived closer so we could play! you sound like such a great mommy!
I don't worry too much about my 1 year old Howie. I guess it's easier to leave a dog than a baby. Claire is a cutie.
Happy Birthday Claire! We think she is the cutest little girl ever and we keep coaching Jack to be a ladies man for her!
Oh my I am totally the same way. The first time we left Olivia I almost died. I am still a little paranoid but I am working on it. Claire is adorable!!! - Danielle Walker
She is so cute! ONE YEAR OLD! Time does fly! Did she get a cute blanket from the in-laws?
You should not blame yourself...I would find it really difficult to leave such cute little girl...
Happy bday to Claire (again!!)!!!
Happy Birthday Claire! Its okay to worry a lot, I am the worst. I have two now and worry just as much or more as I did with one. I make my husband crazy how much I worry. I have never left my kids overnight, I have a hard enough time leaving them for a couple of hours.
