Our little girl is officially not a baby anymore! She is a TODDLER!! I can't believe how fast the year went by. I have a million wonderful thoughts right now and not sure if they are going to come out correctly but Ill type anyway.
Words can't describe how fantastic it is to be a mommy. People try to explain it to you but you really can't grasp it until your in it. She is such an awesome little girl, I'm so grateful I get to watch her change, learn, and grow everyday. When I was pregnant I remember being so incredibly excited everyday for her arrival, yet not quite knowing what our first year with her would bring. Even the first few weeks I remember being so tired, and still so excited to have her in my arms. Now that it's been a whole year, I've experienced what the excitement was all about. I'm blown away at how amazing it has been. I fall more in love with her everyday. Even on the tough days. She is a handful, but she is MY handful lol. She is funny, adorable, so smart, always smiling, throws the cutest tantrums ever, and makes me smile even at 3:00AM :)
AAAAHHHHH ok on to the birthday details! It was a rainy, windy, storm-rific weekend. We didn't have enough time to decorate and set things up in time due to the weather, but Bean didn't care! We had a fun time, lots of family and friends came, lots of kiddos running around, and lots of messy cake goodness! We really are blessed to have such great people in our lives, and so many of them came out to help make Natalie's day special. Jo made a "better than bought" banner for us to hang at the pavilion. I'm keeping the part with her name on it to hang up in her room....thats how good we are talking here people. She is so talented! It was wonderful having Nama here. She is such a big help, it's such a nice break for Nick and I as well. Jo, Nick and I got to hit the gym and go shopping at the mall Saturday while Natalie got some good time in with her Nama. It was a great visit! We, as usual, worked on her the whole trip to just come live here a few months out of the year when it's bitter in WI. Maybe one day :)
On Nat's actual birthday we took her to the Palm Beach Zoo. That was also a blast!! It was our first visit to our local Zoo and it's very nice. Clean, shaded, and just the right size for a few hour trip.
This week was full of getting back into the swing of things. Nick and I promised each other to not make ANY plans this weekend, just relax and have family time. I worked a half day today. Nick called me at about 12:45 to tell me he won't be complaining about his job for a while....cause my job (being mommy) is hard lol. I'm not going to lie...his job is way more stressful....but it's nice to hear him say that every now and again :)
Ok, now the the Heat have won, I'm going to keep watching the Magic game with my fingers crossed!!
