Azita laughed for the first time.
It’s hard to believe that only one year has passed since this video was taken. On the other hand, I can’t believe an entire year has passed since this video was taken. At the time I thought I’d never be able to keep Azita alive. When she laughed for the first time I started to believe I could do this raising a child thing. One year later I have so much more confidence as a mother, and Azita can do so much more than laugh. She walks and climbs and runs and even talks a little. But it’s still her laugh that fills me with wonder and gives me the boost of confidence I need to make it through another day.
I love her. Plain and simple.
