48 Weeks!

My baby is a year old in four weeks, it is one month until her birthday party.  It makes me so sad to think about, yet on the other hand very excited for the things to come in all of our lives.  Her invitations arrived yesterday, daddy had to do a little retouching to them, nothing noticable.  They are just as adorable as I imagined they were going to be, just as cute as they looked on daddys computer.  In the future though we are going to have to order a bigger size. 
Annabelle is cutting some new teeth and it seems she is having a little bit harder time with them than before.  It doesn't really make her feel that bad just makes her use the bathroom a lot and the pain doesn't allow her to sleep as well as she normally does.  She has been running a fever but we try and keep it contained with Motrin or Tylenol.  She doesn't get medicine very often because momma just doesn't wanna have to give it to her unless absolutely necessary.  Don't get me wrong, I give it to her if she seems to be in serious discomfort but I just don't give it to her to be doing so.  This momma is not much on medicine herself.  So far, knock on wood, we have went 11 months without being sick.  I attribute some of that to breast feeding and the rest to Annie's own good and strong immune system.  I rarely was sick as a child so I hope that continues with her. 
The basement is not completely cleaned, we are still working on it.  It will be done by the party though and then afterward the playroom will be down stairs so that we have to continue to keep it clean.  The entire house should be clean by the first of the month.  Annabelle (and mommy & daddy) is going to have such a fun time at her party!!!  Granny has finished her birthday outfit, I haven't seen it yet but I know that it will be adorable.  My sister says they should be sold on etsy (my favorite website).  Mom might have to look into that in the future but her problem is she wants to give everything away.  I am very lucky to have a crafty mom!
