diapers: still doing cloth diapers, but man oh man toddler diapers! eek!!

quote from her doctor {bragging mom alert}: 

"You have a renaissance baby on your hands - she can do it all"

We just can't get enough of her.  Some of our favorite parts of the day are when she wakes up from a nap.  When we pull her out of her crib she is always sure to grab her blanky and Jelly (favorite stuffed bunny).  She then is just a bundle of cuddles with her bunny and blanket cuddled close she snuggles in under our chins and just purrs with glee.  We melt every time.  Several times a day David and I call each other excitedly into the room, "you have to come see this."  She doesn't cease to amaze and excite us at every turn.  She is every part the epitome of the name of this blog - she is so very wild and so very precious.  I can hardly even begin to unpack the impact this last year has had on me, how this little one has touched me... all I can muster to say is "Praise the Lord!"
