Bittersweet

This week has been an emotion filled one. I am a bit stressed with all of the party planning. This is all self inflicted of course because I am trying trying to make everything perfect. Yes, a little OCD as best said by a friend of mine. :) I know, she will never remember it, but there will always be the pictures and memories we will document for her. My heart is sad as I am watching my baby girl grow SO fast! I can not believe how much faster a year went with a second child. It is unbelieveable. I feel like it was just a month or two ago that she was born and now in less than a week, she will be 1 year old. As if all of this wasn't enough, we decided to try to kick the bottle. Well Alyssa is apparently very ready to be a big girl. All it took was 1 day of milk in a sippy cup and "POOF" just like that the bottles are gone. While Jenn and Daddy are thrilled because they no longer have to wash bottles, Mommy is a little sad. It's just another reminder that my baby is not going to be a baby much longer! Alyssa Ann, I love you a bushel and a peck, and a squeeze around the neck! (My little song I sing her all the time) I should also mention, she is not walking, but CLIMBING on everything and anything!!!!
