first birthdays

Today my youngest baby turned 1. It was an interesting time because it is the last first birthday we will celebrate (until we have grandchildren that is). It also embarks upon a new chapter in parenthood. I am officially the parent of toddlers and school children. no more babies. It is bittersweet in that it will be nice to no longer do all the "baby" responsibilities and finally rid my house of the baby gear but at the same time it is sad that I have moved past child bearing.

I guess I have to focus on child rearing from now on.

Happy Birthday Natalie!
