This week has been very bittersweet for me. Tomorrow is Makena's 12 month check up and on Saturday she turns ONE. The year has gone by even faster than Melia's first year.
We have phased out bottles, but still have an attachment to the binky. I figured out how much breast milk I had pumped and stored in the freezer and very happily packed up my pump! Ok, I have to say I was a little sad because I know this is the end of my "baby" days, but I am so over pumping! Makena transitioned beautifully from sleeping in her bassinet to sleeping in her crib. Again, another sad moment when I packed up her bassinet. I am giving it to a dear friend of mine for her new baby, so at least I know it will be in good hands.
Makena's teachers at daycare have been prepping me for weeks. Today is her last day in the infant room. (The girls are off school tomorrow so we can head over to Disney to start celebrating!) I really like the 1 Year Old teacher, but I LOVE the infant room teachers. They are so good with Makena. I am sure they know the transition is harder on the parents than it is on the kids. Today I got a sweet note from Ms. Vicki thanking us for letting her be a part of Makena's life.
I am sure it is because I know we are not having any more kids. I am having a much harder time with Makena turning one. As I was packing our bags for our weekend Disney trip, I was having flashbacks to packing for the hospital. It literally seems like yesterday.
So now we move onto the next chapter in our lives - two toddlers!
