Ch-ch-ch-changes

So much will be happening in the next week, I hardly know where to begin. Nancy’s arriving on Friday, Aurora’s birthday is Saturday, Monday she’s moving into the Bunnies room at daycare, and Tuesday is her 1-year doctor appointment. Of course, that’s just an overview… so much planning goes in to each of those, and there’s more happening in and around each day as well.

One of those little peripheral events is that I decided Monday was my last day pumping. I actually ended up with enough milk in the freezer to stop almost a full week earlier than what I’d planned. In the Bunnies room, she’ll be given whole milk three times a day, and she’ll be drinking from sippy cups instead of bottles! If we weren’t ready for these changes, she could’ve stayed in the Ducks room longer, but she’s been doing great with one nap a day, she does great with sippy cups, and she’s such a confident little walker. This week she started playing with the Bunnies for a couple hours a day and she’s been so happy.

Another little detail is that Sunday night Chuck and I will be going out to dinner ALONE to celebrate one year of Aurora while Nancy babysits!!! After that, Chuck wants to start monthly date nights.

Until then, here's my big independent girl feeding herself. Just getting her upstairs for a bath was a challenge after this one…

Aurora is moving into the Bunnies room? It seems like yesterday she moved into the Ducks! Goodness, she'll be running for president in no time! What a lot of exciting stuff going on!

Is Aurora going to get her first computer or cellphone for her first birthday, LOL? Should be a great party!

It seems so strange to me to be reading this blog on Chuck's computer. I am at Amber and Chuck's now and have had the chance for a few hours to see Aurora in action in person. Wow! This isn't virtual reality, this is the real thing. I have enjoyed the blogs, pictures and videos very much, but the real Aurora and her parents is really the best of all.
