Time Flies

I figured I better get some pictures posted of Sunshine's birthday before she turns two. Her first year of life has been the fastest year of mine, so I am guessing that the years will just keep flying by. The first picture is from when she was just 1 day old. I always enjoy looking back at pictures. I am amazed at how much she has changed. I notice change in her, but since I see her everyday I don't realize how much she has changed until I look at a picture.


She really enjoyed opening her cards and gifts. I think she thought of the cards as little books. She pointed at the pictures on them and waved them around.



We were able to celebrate her birthday two times. My mom, sister, and nephew came down over spring break. During her first cake eating experience she signed "more" on her own for the first time...of course it was for cake, not veggies or fruit. The second time we celebrated with T's family. The pictures below are from that evening.

Welcome Sadie!

Last week we celebrated Sunshine's 1st birthday (more pictures coming soon). We decided to give her a puppy for her birthday. She loves dogs and we wanted to introduce a dog while she was fairly young. Sadie is a Corgi and she is a sweetie. Sunshine just loves it when Sadie sniffs and licks her...I think they are going to be great friends.

One Year Ago Today

Last year at this time I was waiting. Mainly waiting for contractions to start, but also for T to get home from work. The days seem to just drag on as I struggled to find things to do (what I wouldn't give for a day like that now). My hospital bag was packed, the nursery was ready, and the house was clean.

A year ago today I can clearly remember calling T on his cell. If you know T well, you know that he is not a huge phone person, but since we were having a baby he carried his phone. He stepped out of a meeting to answer his phone, thinking it just might be time. I remember him telling me "You can't call me on this number unless it's time to go to the hospital". I had called to see what time he would be home and to let him know that I would love treat from Dairy Queen. So here we are a year later, T had the same officer-election meeting tonight and of course I called to see what time he was coming home. The best part...he brought me home a DQ blizzard to celebrate.
