Spaghetti Tacos and Mia is ONE!

The last weekend in March, Andy headed to Minnesota for a swim meet. He skipped it last year since I was very pregnant. He missed us celebrating Earth Hour this year, but we had fun without him. We had spaghetti tacos for dinner, played cards and did puzzles by candlelight, as well as a bath by candlelight. A good time was had by all. Spaghetti tacos for those of you who are unaware, are the favorite food eaten on the T.V. show iCarly. Olivia wanted to try them and surprisingly they were pretty good. We even tried the soft shell version the next night with our left over spaghetti. I preferred the hard shells myself.
FYI: they are messy
On March 31st, our little Miss Mia Margaret turned one. It's so hard to believe this year has come and gone. We just had a nice family dinner at home for her birthday and let her open gifts that had come in the mail. We planned her party with just family for the following weekend. She still had no teeth by her birthday, but two bottom teeth appeared a few days later. She continues to be such a happy girl, but is in to EVERYTHING! She will literally run circles around the house all day long. She doesn't listen when you say "No." Although, she knows things that are "no nos." She goes up to them, taps at them until she gets my attention, and then smiles and grabs it. She thinks it's all a game we play. She had her 1 year check up and weighed 17 pounds 4 oz. and was 29 1/4 inches long. She didn't score very high on the weight charts, but was in the 75th percentile for height. Olivia was very similar in both aspects.
What a wonderful year we have had with our little girl. I am blessed every day to have such healthy, beautiful daughters in my life!
