First birthday as "Mommy"

When we got up this morning and I told Michael that E didn't wake up during the night last night- he told me that was my present. Not a bad one as presents go I would say! Maybe she will think I deserve a whole week of celebration for my birthday- that would be nice.

Michael worked today, so us ladies hung out. I felt like the whole day was a process of putting down for naps and trying to fit in enough quiet housework before E woke up. I rocked her to sleep 3 times before it was even noon! Needless to say, I didn't get a lot done. We did go shopping though. There is a children's consignment store across the street, so I went in search of a few new toys. E got a toy telephone just like the one she likes to play with (chew on) at daycare, and some fabric block with nesting toys. Also, she found a couple of warm hats for the cold weather- she will be especially needing them when we visit NY for Christmas- brrrrr!
