It's so hard to believe that our sweet Remi is already one year old. It seems like just yesterday we were sitting in the hospital awaiting her arrival! :) She's changed so much since that day!!!
We celebrated Remi's birthday the entire weekend with her party on Saturday and her actual birthday today. We initially planned for her party to be outdoors at the park, but thanks to the super unpredictable Michigan weather, we were forced to move to the Clawson Community Center at the last minute. With nearly 50 family and friends, we celebrated her birthday and Remi rolled all over that place in her walker...probably the best idea we had!!! :) When we put her birthday cake in front of her she didn't quite understand the purpose, so we helped her dig into it. She delicately ate the cake...like a little princess :)
Today, we started the day by filling her crib with the party balloons and she loved playing with them...just like she had never seen them before! :) Then a birthday breakfast...then church...then some birthday shopping...then a celebration dinner to wrap up the day! It was so busy this weekend that our sweet baby girl fell asleep halfway into her bottle.
What a wonderful year it's been!!! So much we've learned...yet so much more ahead.
In other news...
I've accepted a position with my former employer, Carlson Marketing, and will return to the working world on Monday, May 10. All good things must come to an end and I am so happy that God gave me this opportunity to be home with Remi for all her "firsts" and watch her grow into such a sweet little girl! So, please pray for our family as we transition over the next few weeks. It's going to be quite the transition. Probably harder on mommy than anyone else :(
Our 1 year checkup is Tuesday, so I'll update her stats then. Have a great week!
Here are some pics from the party, our weekend and our super special birthday girl!!!
WOW! She's not our "baby" anymore...she's our sweet little girl! :)
