I cannot believe how fast the last year has gone. Stella is 1 already!!! I am up tonight creating a slide show DVD for her birthday party on Saturday and looking at all of the pictures from the last year has been very emotional for me. When people tell you that you won't know the real meaning of love until you have a child, they are not kidding.
Today I took the day off from work and John was off too. We took Stella to the Dinosaur Discovery Museum in downtown Kenosha this afternoon and then we just hung out and played at home. She was given a treat of tapioca pudding with her dinner, but she didn't really like it. She wanted more bananas instead. She's not into treats much at all. She doesn't like chocolate and she gags on ice cream every time we offer it to her. She just likes her fruits. Good girl!!!
Saturday I am having a party for her at our house with just grandparents, aunts and uncles and our close friends with kids. Since the house is so small we have no room for extended friends and family, as it is we'll have about 15 people. I can't wait to see what she does with cake and frosting. I'm making just white since she's not into the chocolate. Hopefully I finish this slide show tonight and then I just have to wrap her gifts and get ready.
I know the next year will go just as fast, and the next and the next. I try to savor every minute and a in awe of her every single day. She is so smart, and such a good baby. I am so proud to be her mother and enjoy every day that I am blessed to see her grow.
