My baby girl is now 1 (and has been for 2 weeks!). What a year we have had with her - watching her grow, learn, walk, talk (sort of), fall, cry, laugh, and so much more. It is hard to believe a year has gone by since she was born. I must agree that time does go by quicker once you have kids.
Lee and I both took off of work for her birthday, so that we could spend the day with her. Taylor joined us after school, and we had some wonderful family time.
The following Sunday we threw her quite a 1st birthday party! The theme was Minnie Mouse, and we had many pink things about. She even got to wear a special birthday outfit. About 18 people celebrated with us, and we had quite the food spread. I figure she only has her first birthday once, so I wanted to go bigger than I normally would.
Her birthday also marked another milestone. I have been keeping a journal for Amelia since I found out I was pregnant. It chronicled my pregnancy, her birth, and the first year of her life. I decided to end the journal at her first birthday, and I intend on writing her letters each year on her birthday. I hope it is something she will one day cherish.
Amelia has brought such joy to my life. I love my time with her, and I can’t get enough of her smile and hugs. As we enter this new phase of her life, I can’t wait to see what she will do next. She certainly keeps us on our toes.
