Today was Isha's first birthday. We tried to take some pictures, but we couldn't get Isha to sit still so we decided to take a birthday video. If you don't want to hear us singing you should turn the volume down. If you are brave enough to keep the volume on then you will probably be wondering what the heck Jai is talking about every time he asks Isha to play Adam's letter. We had game night at the VCU hospitality house and we played bingo with some of the residents. Adam was the bingo caller and it was really funny when he would call out the letter O. It has become a neighborhood joke. Anyways, Isha likes to hold the O button down on her toy and it cracks Jai up every time she does it.
Back to the Birthday news. We went out to dinner for Isha's birthday and we were going to go to Brusters after dinner, for some ice cream, but we were too full and it was a little chilly outside. I felt guilty as we were driving home, but I have to keep telling myself that she doesn't know that today is any different than any other day. I have to remember that we will be celebrating on Saturday, so it isn't like we totally neglected her big day. I didn't want to put her to bed because that meant that her birthday was almost over. I can't believe that she is a year old. It has been an amazing year full of fun and hard work. Having a baby definitely changes your life and adds more work and stress, but it is all worth it. There is nothing as sweet as going in her room in the morning and seeing her beautiful smiling face. Of course, it is easy for me to say that because the beautiful smile was preceded by 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep!
