Happy Birthday Sweet "P'...

As I am composing this, one handed, with a sleeping Peyton on one arm, again.. it is 1:04 am... funny to me, because one year ago at this time, Merrill was finally home from his concert, and we were getting ready to fall asleep.
But not for long.
I would wake up at 2:30, just a little over an hour later, in labor, contracting..
Our little Peyton, or "Sweet P" as she's known in some social circles, was well on her way...
Need a reminder?
How about this one with ALL the details?
I needed tissues.. these memories are so sweet! I wish I could do it all over again.. it really wasn't all that long ago..
So where has the past year gone?!
To answer that, here's 12 of my most favorite pics, and 12 things I love about my "Sweet P"..1. The sound of your little teeth clinking on a spoon when you eat.2. The way you pull my face to look at you, and to see that you are grinning.3. Hugs, that you give me around my knees, for no apparent reason.4. Our late nights together.5. Love the sound of you bossing your sisters, in your jibber-jabber.6. .. then hearing you giggle with them.7. Seeing you get so excited when daddy comes home.8. Hearing you say, "Mamamamama.." and you sincerely mean it..9. The smell of your hair..10. The way you wave your hands, frantically, in front of your face when you've had enough to eat.11. Seeing your cheeser grin.12. That you love to sneak into treats just as much as I do.
Love you little girl!!
Happy 1st birthday...
