One year old!

So today wasn't really all that exciting. Allison and I just hung around the house. I will say that it's crazy to think that she's been here for a whole year. It has gone faster than any other year of my life. There are times that I miss that little baby that I could nap with and cuddle with, but more than anything, I'm looking forward to the future. Not that I want it to go much faster than it already is, but I'm ready for her to talk to me and interact with me. Jason always reminds me that I may not like what she has to say...he's always trying to ground me! I realize that there will be times in the future where we fight. I can almost guarantee that she will say she hates me someday...I think everyone has said that to their moms at least one...even though we didn't mean it! But I'm excited for our relationship to deepen and for her to understand me and for me to understand her. She has so much she wants to say...I'm so excited to hear it! And, I really thought she'd be walking by now...but it appears that my daughter will not walk at 12 months...maybe 13!! I do love her more than I thought I could, but I'm also realizing that I'm not that sentimental of a mom. Sometimes I have to remind myself to just sit and spend time with her. I need to remember that life is not about what I accomplish, but the relationships I have.
Anyway, we're having a party on Sunday with family and a few close friends. Of course, I didn't plan really well, and there will be about 21 adults and 6 kids...WHOA! But, it will be fun! I just have to figure out what cupcakes I'm doing.
