Today was my birthday. The big 2-5 and my first birthday as a mama. It was a pretty normal day overall which I think made it all that more lovely. No late parties, no rush to the day at all. Just Emmy and I hanging out, and let me just say, she must read my blog because she slept amazingly last night -- only waking up twice in twelve hours! Happy birthday to me! She was an angel most of the day but missed out on one nap, so by the end of it she just was overtired and irritable. I didn't mind though because all she wanted was mommy and to cuddle on my shoulder. Which never happens. Em stayed close to me in her sling and on my shoulder through most of dinner. By the end of it she was perking up, dancing to the blues music by stomping her feet and shrieking loudly. She is getting such a personality. 

Em honestly made my whole day. I wish I could just hang out with her every second of every day for the rest of forever just to watch her grow. 

Probably the most abnormal part of my day -- went to the Farmer's Market the other day and used everything today to make myself a tomato cucumber salad, fresh lemonade and vanilla cupcakes with blackberry frosting. While taking care of a four month old. Sometimes I feel like a domestic goddess. 

My dessert after dinner out with M's family at his restaurant. Buffalo yogurt and fresh fruit. I really need to find a place to get buffalo yogurt. That is a sentence I never thought I would ever say (or type).
