Memorial Day - Thinking Back to a Year Ago

This weekend is Memorial Day and it got me thinking about what we were doing a year ago.  One year ago we were telling all of our family that we were going to have a baby. Click here to read that post.  It's so funny to think how much has changed in a year.  We now have a 4.5 month old baby girl who we love dearly.  We went to the bagel store this morning before church just like last year, but with our little baby in her cute little lady bug outfit instead of in my tummy.  This morning's church routine included a trip to Joyland (in fact our first time to go to church both hours) with time out for breastfeeding (definitely different than last year).  In fact, almost all of our plans revolve around baby girl right now - when she eats, when she sleeps, how she's doing.  So different.  This year's big weekend news is that we started rice cereal with Naomi.  Her first try of solid foods.  It's been going pretty well.  Last year I was thinking about the timing of my maternity leave with my work busy time.  This year, I've been laid off from that job and have embraced being a stay at home mom, which I never envisioned.  We are so blessed to have such a beautiful, healthy, smiley baby.  What a difference a year makes!  Makes you wonder what next year will look like...
