We were lying in bed this morning at 5:30 thinking about how a year ago, any time Graem started fussing, Shawna would do “Little Bunny:” hold her sitting up under her arms and bounce her up and down singing, “I’m a little bunny, hopping through the forest” and Grammy would stop fussing.

We talked a little bit about if we would have done anything different the first year, and we agreed that for the most part, we did everything we wanted to, except for Shawna having to go back to work too soon. Although, no amount of leave would have been enough. We thought maybe if we had been a little more aggressive with the bottle in the early days, the later months wouldn’t have been as much of a challenge. Maybe a little more naptime in the crib, but I think she and we both needed to be able to hold her when she was that little.

Can’t wait to do it all again.
