Sorry that it has been so long. I have been meaning to get on here to write for quite a while but have not had the time.
Well, my baby girl has turned 1! We had a great weekend with her. On her birthday Dan and I took her to "Sweet Street" which is a Halloween event at ShopKo Hall in Green Bay. We weren't sure how she would like it, but she had a blast! Even though she was too young for most of the activities she loved to just walk around and look at all of the kids dressed up in costumes. We dressed her in her pumpkin costume, and she looked absolutely adorable! Many people at "Sweet Street" kept calling her a little boy, which kind of annoyed me. I guess dressed as a pumpkin and with her lack of hair she could have passed as a little boy. But to us, she is all girl!
On Halloween I dressed her up in her pumpkin suit again and took her to my dad's work to trick or treat to all of the cubicles. Dad really wanted her to come so he could show her off to his co-workers ;) She had lots of fun running around the halls of Fluid Systems. Then after that we came home for nap time, only to get up and put the pumpkin suit back on again! We went trick our treating over in my parents' neighborhood. We made it to about 10 houses. I think Lydia would have kept going, but we were carrying her and our arms were getting tired. Plus, we felt a little greedy since she wasn't the one that would be eating the candy anyway! ;)

Then, on Saturday we had her big birthday party! It was a great day! We had over 30 people come to the party! All of Dan's extended family was able to make it up from Milwaukee, which was made the party extra special! She actually showed some interest in opening her presents. She got a lot of really nice things... lots of cute clothes and really nice books, not to mention some pretty cool toys too! We had a little birthday cake that we put on her high chair tray and let her have at it! She wasn't so sure what to do. She didn't maul it as much as we thought she would. However, once she realized how good it tasted she did take a couple of handfuls of cake. I think she was more amused with the mess she was able to make!
I can't believe Lydia is one year old already. It is so crazy to think back to a year ago at this time. It seems like ever since she turned one I find myself thinking about last year at this time. It is amazing how much she has changed and what a little person she has turned in to. She has such a personality now. Like I said before... when I was pregnant I was so afraid of how my life would change with having a baby. Now that I have her in my life I could not imagine even one day without her in it! I love her so much! Being a mom is seriously the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. I am so blessed.
