My youngest bundle of joy turned 1 this weekend. Boy was it a blast. My initial thought was invite everyone we know. After realizing family and a few close friends = 50, our dream list was abruptly cut short.
Now almost 48 hours later we're left with Beautiful Memories and a Ton Of Leftovers!
I know how it happens... A certain % of guests who plan on coming have a last minute change of plans, I made the B-Day menu list while I was hungry, I've got a huge fear of not having enough food, My dad, who is an awesome cook (and by the way made ALL the food) wants to show off his great talent... Thank God For Grandparents!
I handed out "to go" plates to everyone who would take one and I'm still left saying "what on earth am I going to do with all these leftovers???" I've still got about 15 servings!!!! Oooh, I'm going to freeze it for another day... Life is wonderful!"
Unless you don't eat leftovers. I can respect that, but man, too bad for you!
Anyhow, so yes... my Bouncing Baby Boy has reached a Major Milestone and I have to admit, it's Bitter Sweet. With my daughter is was mostly excitement that I felt. But this time around it's a bit sad. Maybe because with my daughter, I'd planned on having one more. This time, I know this is it! All those special months and moments leading up to the first year are over. To think he went from not being able to hold up his own head to now tearing across the carpet after his new toys, all in a matter of months... absolutely amazing. I'm tearing up, so I'll stop here (how soon we forget the midnight feedings, spells of crying and bouts of spit up). I guess I'll end by saying what is often said to me ... "Enjoy every moment possible... They are years you'll never get back."

Wow, if you had so much extra food maybe your co workers at you job would have loved some. I know most news people never eat, so next time bring them some food and maybe they can celebrate with you!!
