She's ONE

I tried posting this yesterday but it wouldn't let me. So here it is today. This farm house now has a 2 yr old AND 1 yr old!! Miss A turned ONE yesterday. I couldn't believe it where did the year go. At nap time I sat upstairs in the rocking chair and rocked her as she babbled away as if she was telling me about how in 16 years i'll be taking her to get her drivers license. NOOOO....I had tears streaming down my face as she fell asleep in my arms and i thought about how lucky i am. After all the IVF treatments and the adoption process and here I sat with this child that I thought I'd never have. God definately had a plan in mind for us and sometimes I wonder if i messed with his plan by doing the IVF cycles. It's like he wanted us to adopt and then he blessed us with a pregnancy. Not many people can have this many experiences in there journey to be a parent. Although it was through all those IVF's that made my faith in God come out! Anyway, she is a little chunker now, she was so petite when she was born. She has quite a personality of wanting things now and her way. She hates being told no and if she's by the TV her brother will come over and gently pull her down. She'll sit down, clench her fists and growl. She's easily excited. She jumps up and down on her toosh and flings her arms. She loves to eat and while she isn't TO picky she loves her grapes and yogurt.
We celebrated the day by going on a little road trip with friends of ours and then out for breakfast. She had a great nap almost all afternoon and we went out to eat with DH's parents and brother.
Happy Birthday Baby and we wish you MANY more!
