It seems like yesterday . . .

Oct. 4, 2007 Jocelynn Elizabeth Ward was born!

8 pounds 5 ounces

It was a day her dad and I will never forget! This year has been the best time of our life. When we think of how fast time has past, it makes us sad. 

Although the year has gone by fast, so much has happened! It seems like yesterday, I was staying up throughout the night. This picture was after a long night. I'm really asleep and I was glad James captured this shot because we tend to forget.

Jocelynn has brought us so much happiness. She has brought a sweet spirit into our home.  It's hard to believe she is one! The past couple of weeks, I have been asking her how old she is. Today I asked her and she held up one finger! Here's a little description about this little angel:

Jocelynn is VERY observant and has always been. She stares at everything and everyone! She is quiet and studies everything if she is in a new environment. It takes her a little time to get comfortable and then her personality comes out. She now has separation anxiety and hates when we leave her (she cries for a couple of minutes).  She loves to talk. I am amazed at all the words she says. Her new word is paper and copies whatever we say. She is very smart. She says 17 words and signs 9 words. She has a determined, strong will and gets frustrated if she can't do something. She has always fought taking naps but she needs them! She still takes 2 a day but is transitioning to one. She loves her dad and calls him mama and dada. My baby is no longer a baby but becoming a toddler. We can't wait for the years to come!!
