Happy Birthday!

Today is Lexi's first birthday! I've got her gifts wrapped, and am entirely prepared for her to be not interested in anything I got her haha I bought her a pair of holiday pajamas (I think this should become a tradition for her birthday), a dress, some bath toys, and some fancy blocks. I think I was pretty restrained and I have pretty much finished up Christmas (I think I'm going to see how she reacts to these gifts before I decide).

At 2:45am, Lexi woke up crying and when I looked at the clock, I smiled. 2:45am was when I began pushing last year, I know it was just coincidental, but it still makes me think. How long after birth do babies remember it? Probably not long, but it is really hard to say. All she wanted to do when she woke up was cuddle up with me-something she NEVER wants to do! It felt so nice to just hold her, knowing that at exactly the same time one year ago, I was doing the same thing for the first time. All of the feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and it was a great time. I am a big Gilmore Girls fan (shut up Courtney) and every year on Rory's birthday, her mom comes into her bedroom at the time she was born and shares the story again...it's a bit TMI, but I think I'm going to do that with Lexi.

I'll post pictures/maybe a video of her opening her presents and eating her cake later
