Mia turns one!

So my baby has finally had her 1st birthday and has reached the 1 year mark! 

She had a wonderful birthday party, I will write a separate post showing you the decorations and how we followed the Alice in wonderland theme. 

This month she is trying to free stand more although still not often. She is pulling up on everything and cruising loads! She also now has 6 teeth! 

She eats anything I offer her apart from egg, she's never been keen on egg in whichever form I try, scrambled, omelette, hard boiled etc. It's funny because my mum tells me I didn't like egg under the age of 2 either! 

She loves toys that require her to think and do something to get a reaction such as opening and closing, pressing buttons to make noises, musical instruments, rocking horse, books etc. 

Emotion

My baby is turning one in a couple of days! You may find this post bizarre especially if you don't have your own children but I feel really emotional about Mia turning one! It's like my baby is growing up suddenly. I'm fully aware that she's not going to suddenly be a walking, talking toddler as soon as she hits one it just feels like she won't be a 'baby' anymore. I've been making a lot of the decorations and favours myself for her party which has also been pretty emotional, especially the video compilation. What I will say is since I've been sorting through photos and videos for her party I'm so glad that I was camera happy with Mia because I have A LOT of photos and video footage to loom back on and remind me of all those memories we had of Mia being a newborn, learning to sit up, crawl etc. I would strongly suggest investing in a good camera for capturing family moments.

Mia's party dress

My mum made Mia this dress for her themed party. Can you guess what the theme is? If you are a regular reader I think I have mentioned the party theme in previous posts! 

Healthy breakfast

Berry porridge with blueberries. Mia loves blueberries and I try to give her some fresh fruit everyday. She loves bananas too!
