Today is Hannahs first birthday. January 9th.

I will say it has not been easy but I have loved every minute of it.

Today is a Wednesday so we are really not doing anything. The big party is on Saturday. Her cousins are coming over along with her grandparents and of course her extended family from the 99.

Jake and I took the day off to celebrate for ourselves with her, even though she really has no idea what is going on.

"Ma ma ma ma." Is all that I heard when I walked into her nursery. She can say more but that is her favorite especially in the morning because I am usually the first person she sees. Even though Jake has gotten better he still is not a morning person.

"Good morning princess," I said as I picked her up out of the crib and changed her diaper and put her into her clothes for the day. All she did was smile when I did this. She is a very happy baby almost always.

Honestly she was sleeping all through the night after the first two weeks. She is not a big crier. She is not picky and I feel lucky on that part because of how picky Jake is.

She has also been ahead of the curve on a lot of things. She started crawling at seven months and walking at nine. She started talking around the same time she started walking and has been a chatterbox ever since.

When it comes to what she looks like she favors me over Jake. She has Jakes eyes and ears everything else is me. Jake sometimes calls her mommy's mini me.

"Should we go wake up daddy?" She started to laugh and giggle.

We walked into the bedroom. Jake was snoring. I sat her down and she crawled on top of Jake and started tickling him. I sat down on my side of the bed and watched.

The snoring soon stopped and his eyes opened.

"Morning princess, happy birthday," She started to giggle. She love to wake Jake up in the morning.

He moved her to the bed so he could sit up. She moved toward me and sat down.

"Morning babe." He said as he leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek then proceeded to give Hannah one as well.

"Did you sleep well," I asked.

"Great actually," he responded.

Before I could respond Hannah started to get whiny. She only gets like this when she is hungry.

"Jake do you want to get her some breakfast while I get into the shower?"

"Can do," he said in a funny voice that made Hannah giggle, "Just let me go to the bathroom real quick."

He got up and headed in that direction while I picked up Hannah and we out out into the living room.

It is a bit messier than I like it but I have a toddler and a Jake meaning that even if I do manage to clean it is destroyed within minutes.

I sat her down on the floor and she walked over to her toy corner and dug through them to find exactly what she wants.

It is interesting to watch her do this but from what I was told I did the same thing as a tot.

Jake came out before she could get to into anything.

As soon as she realized he was in the room she started to giggle and say, "Da Da Da," and walked toward him.

He picked her up, "Are you ready for breakfast?"

"Yeah."

"No candy Jake. She has some cereal and yogurt that sh can have."

"Yes boss," he said as the walked into the kitchen and I headed to the bathroom to take my much needed shower.
