Today was an important day

Yesterday Brian cleaned out the "baby" cabinet in the kitchen. All the bottles are sitting in a box ready to go wherever they need to go. My job was to toss all the nipples. They sat on the stove all day. And then today, I just tossed them. Believe it or not...it wasn't an easy thing to do. We did keep two bottles "incase of emergency", but we are pretty much a sippy cup house now. Then tonight we were sitting upstairs, she was pushing her little car all over the house and laughing. I looked at her and my eyes just stared watering. I can not believe that she is going to be a year old in 16 days. It's sad because I know that I will never have another baby in my house. She was the first baby that came home and she is going to be the last. We said from the beginning that one child was what we wanted and I am still happy with that. And then there are times when I want another baby NOW. I just wish that the decision was mine to make.

Today has been a cleaning day in our house. We are working on our bedroom. I am the world's worst housekeeper. I am fairly certain I was born without a cleaning gene. I got an extra shopping gene instead. I really need to work on that....

Okay, my child is asleep and I have a meeting with my MOMS club in the morning. I've got a few things that need to be done before I head to bed.

Have a great evening!

Don't be sad. You still have so much of babyhood left. Be sad when she's six!!! Sob, sob.

I cried (and still do) with every baby milestone :( For the longest time I celebrated (and made everyone around me re-live the birth experience) their weekly anniversary of their birthday! Call me crazy...

Oh...I so know what you are going through with her growing up. Grant is already 11 weeks old! It is so hard to see him grow up so fast.

And girlfriend...we must be related. I didn't get that cleaning gene either. Well let me say my house isn't dirty...just really cluttered! And I LOVE TO SHOP.
