Kiyana - A Year in a Glance Posted by frank on August 20, 2008 at 04:28:26 AM
It's amazing how one year has gone by so fast. Our little Angel is already one years old! Her birthday was on July 27, 2008. It feels like it was yesterday when we first brought her home.
Parenthood is awesome. I'm still amaze on how much she has learned. When I think of it, it's not what how much she learned, but it's more what she has taught us. By raising our little girl, we have learned to know the true meaning of love. A love that is indescribable beyond words. Kiyana has taught us to appreciate our parents and made us understand why we were brought up a certain way. As my wife and I want only what's best for Kiyana, I can now truly understand that our parents always wanted what's best for us.
The other day, I was asked a simple question. So simple but complicated at the same time. "Could you ever imagine your life without your baby?". I can't even think about the life I had before. I could only think of my life starting on the day she was born.
On August 10, 2008, we celebrated Kiyana's first birthday. Over 170 people attended and it was memorable success! I would have to agree that she won't remember anything, however we have video and photos to reflect later when she's older.
Here's a video slideshow I put together. It showcases Kiyana's milestone from birth to one year. I actually cried so many times as I was putting this together. It was a surprise for my wife as I presented it on the day of Kiyana's birthday party. Babe, hope you liked the slideshow as much as I do (I love you! You make such a wonderful Mommy!).
