First birthday!

It's hard at times for me to believe that it's been a year, but then at other times it feels like it's been so much longer. My little Grace has grown and grown. I looked at her the other day and she is no longer in that baby stage she is in young toddlerhood and I don't know just who it happen becuase it happen all at once it seems like. I love seeing her change and grow, she is about to start walking and I know she will be talking soon, and as much as I'm  anxiously await those big  milestones, I still want her to be in baby stage I am missing it. However I am not missing it so much that I would want other kid, I am very happy with us being one and done, but I am still missing that stage, but loving seeing the little person she is becoming.
For her first birthday I know a lot of people go crazy with a partly but I didn't want to do that for a few reasons. First I'm tired and the idea of planing something just wasn't how I wanted to spend my time.  Secondly I'm not a fan of over the top party's, I don't think it's something that you need to do. After all  she is one. So Michaels parents come in to town for her birthday, it's a big deal for them with her being thier only grandchild. So we just had a family partly them my mother and us. She  plead  with her little cake, it took her sometime to even want to try and eat it. It was fun watching her eating it well mostly playing with it. I do feel that she wa given to much stuff for a kid that's turning one, but his parents can't seam to help but go over borad with her. We  plead games and just enjoyed the family time, something that I think we all need to do more of.

This year feels as if it has gone by so so fast.

Aother year older

It's funny that when we are children we look forward to our birthday all year long. We start the count down at the start of the month and are so happy when that day comes. But then at some point I don't even know what age it is that we start to just think of it as a day and that's great, the feeling of ya that's my birthday today, it just stops being so much of a big deal. Today well yesterday now was my birthday and this year much like the year before I just feel that it doesn't matter. It may be that not that I am a mother I care less about my birthday and I am much more in to her day it happens to be 5 days after mine, or it could be that now that I am in my 30's its just not that big of a deal.
 It's not even that I am so in to hers because I am so in to planning anything crazy for her, because I am not. I don't think that kids birthdays need to be as over the top as so many people do. I think that that's because growing up my family didn't do over the top, a family party some years a small party of 3-5 friends and then as we got older if was pick a friend and a place to go to dinner and that's still what I enjoy doing, going out to dinner. Now a days I enjoy a dinner out because I am with my little one all day and at times I am just tired and its nice to not have to cook. We are lucky this wee know that she is well behaved and does well eating out for a one year old, no big brake downs and as she gets older she is getting better and better. That could be because now she can start to eat the same things we eat makes it a lot easier. But back to the birthday  I don't feel any older then I did a week ago, but then I don't feel any older then I did 5 years ago. Well in my mind anyway this last year my body at times feels much older, I have always felt older /old in my body because it hurts so much of the time. So even as I get older my body feels much like it always has so I don't feel older year to year.
