One Year

I was just sitting her eating my lunch thinking to myself "what was I doing last year at this time?" I was definitely feeling the contractions and close to getting my epidural (best invention ever). Mom and Dad and the Grivna Family had just come back from lunch and remember Mom asking me if she cared if she could put her coat over in the corner. My response resembled my pain. "I don't care where you put your coat (sorry mom)."

Anyway I can't believe my baby is a year old today. Next you know she'll be driving (sorry Cory I had to throw that in there). Poor Cory had his first accident today and thankfully no one was injured. We all had them and I think we all had them in the first couple months you start to drive. Mine was when I rear ended the Judge in Anderson. No one was hurt but scariest part was calling your parents to tell them. Then having your parents take you to his house the next day to apologize again. Definitely made a lasting impression. Just think Cory you can reminisce about your accident every year on Ella's birthday.

She was very happy this morning when I got her up and very excited to see Elaine and Jacob when she got to daycare. All the kids at daycare celebrated Ella's birthday today with the breakfast that I took, yummy banana bread muffins, yo baby yogurt and bananas! I know your not supposed to tell your kids to fight back but I gave Ella permission to hit Jacob back today if he bullied her. He knocked her down yesterday and of course she hit her head and left a mark. I have to make cupcakes tonight for work so I think we'll give her part of one as her cake. I'm sure she'll devour it. I'll post pictures tomorrow!!
