Our baby turns one today...Happy 1st Birthday, Shandi!
I guess she's also excited about today since she woke up around 11 last night and seemed like she's going to wait for 12am (and welcome her day with a bang!). Well, after 30 minutes, she got really cranky and decided to go back to sleep...funny baby!
Needless to say, today is also my 1st year anniversary as a mom. Motherhood can change someone in so many ways...as for me, it made me more appreciative and thankful for the littlest things in life. Thankful for my family's good health, for our baby's achievements, for supportive family and friends, for all the blessings we received.
I never knew our lives would change so much after having Shandi. I cannot say it was a change for the better because I believe all the phases of our lives should be lived the best we can. Instead, I call it a "happy" sort of change...
Before I got pregnant, when friends would show me a video or a picture of their children, I sometimes feel obliged to say something nice...something with the word "cute", "wonderful" and "adorable" in it. Who knew that as soon as I gave birth, I'll have a phone full of baby pictures waiting to be shown to the world???? I could talk on and on about my baby to complete strangers...would even show a video of her trying to walk and babbling. For me, everyone should care...she's my daughter and the source of our everyday joy!!! I also have thousands of pictures on our computer, add to that the albums and picture frames around the house...would you like to see them? Oh, and by the way, I also have this website...
On this special day, I have nothing but gratitude...It has truly been a year of "firsts" and I know it doesn't end with the first year. This is only the beginning of all the wonderful moments to come.
So come and share our joy as we watch Shandi try to blow out her first candle. It's cake time!!!
