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.
