Now Entering the Toddler Years!

Its official, Luna is one! I cannot believe my baby has grown so fast! I hear other parents say that all the time, but it is so frighteningly true! It was a very emotional week for me. And lots of work!

Luna had a great time I think! She had a trip to the zoo early in the week, and she was SUCH a good girl!! An entire day without naps and she was so well behaved! She looked at the animals and enjoyed the petting zoo part.
On the big day she had a party with her papa, her Oma, and myself. I decorated and spent ages on the train cake. I worked so hard on it, only to have all the icing and candies melt overnight. Grrr! But if you don't look to closely it still looks ok! Gramma, Grampa, Nana, Auntie M, and Uncle T all visited with her via Skype on her birthday. She had a great time squishing her cake around and even ate quite a bit of it!

Presents were a biiiiiig hit! She loved everything, and is still playing with it all! Her old toys are collecting dust! Her big gift was a snazzy tricycle that will grow with her. Right now we can push her on it, while she is securely buckled in and safe. But as she grows, it goes through various stages and will become a regular tricycle. She also got a number of musical instruments, including a little drum that she's gotten really good at! She got clothes and books and two types of blocks; a lovely snow globe that plays lullabies; a play tent and Sophie the Giraffe. She was a very lucky girl!Luna hasn't been walking anymore. I read that its not uncommon for them to regress a bit, but its still disappointing! But she'll get back to it when she's ready.

Unfortunately, in the last few days, Luna's cold has come back with a vengeance. We all got this cold the first time around, and now its taking a second trip around! We took her to the doctor this morning and she has bronchitis. :( She has to have breathing treatments three times a day, and if she still is running a fever by Wednesday we have to start antibiotics. I am sick as well, and it is quickly becoming pretty awful. Not much fun around here these days!

Thank you to all for the birthday wishes, I think she had a pretty wonderful first birthday!
