1. Mysterious items are being flushed down your toilets, your husband is getting slightly irritated at having to plunge and fish out said items.
2. The drawer with the ziplock bags cannot seem to stay closed.
3. Remote controls are found in top secret locations.
4. Your friends must stop by or email you because your phones are often off their hooks.
5. At the end of a long day, while running a relaxing bath, you notice remnants of oatmeal, spaghetti, mashed potatoes and peaches glued to the inside of your tub.
6. Cereal boxes are removed form the garbage and scavenged for remaining bits of cereal.
7. You have nearly given up trying to keep windows clean. Tiny fingerprints are your new window coverings.
8. You find yourself running around like a wild woman between the hours of 10:00 am - noon and 2:00 - 4:00 pm. You know that those are the only hours in the day that you will be able to get anything done.
9. You get more help than you really need doing the dishes.
9. The sound of little feet toddling behind you makes your heart melt. You discover your cheeks are sore from smiling.
10. You are greeted by a friendly "HI!" about a dozen times a day.
11. You can't get enough cuddles and kisses. When new words like ah oh, mine and cup are said, it is an exciting moment.
12. You find yourself tired at the end of the day. You can't wait to climb into bed, but not before humbly thanking the Lord for all the sweetness that has come to your life by having a one year old at large.

I think the older we get, the more tired we are to be running after these little ones. Just remember the days of having TWO one-year-olds at large!! (Although the fact that they probably helped to entertain each other certainly makes a difference, too!)
You are so very lucky to have such a sweet baby girl! I can't believe it has already been a whole year!!
I think she is wonderful! I am starting to resign to the fact that I will never again in my life get anything done!
Oh....I remember those days....and I miss them. I can't believe my baby is 4 years old. (sniff, sniff). Enjoy it, you know how fast it goes.
I loved what President Monson said about being patient with handprints on windows, since one day they won't be there anymore!
AMEN. AMEN. AMEN. Did I say AMEN?
