One week ago today, Layla and Jenna celebrated their first birthday! We had so much fun partying it up with our family (more pics to come, I promise) but, now that the girls are all grown up, it was time to make a few changes. I knew the changes were coming and, quite frankly, was terrified. You see, things were going so smoothly around here I could hardly imagine the wrath that would come by messing with their routine. Two of the most dramatic changes were going from a mostly pureed diet to full blown finger foods and transitioning from formula to whole milk, while, perhaps the biggest kicker of all, eliminating drinking from a bottle! Let's just say I wasn't looking forward to this week.
Over the last year, these babies of mine have managed to surprise me everyday and this week was no different. Were they a little thrown off by the changes on Monday? Of course! Did they adjust and continue to live happily ever after by Tuesday? You bet!
Change can be a hard thing, but after this week, I will always remember the lesson learned from the newest toddlers on the block...change is good (especially if it means no more formula mixing or bottle washing for me)!

Gobbling up a big girl dinner of spaghetti, broccoli, fruit, and milk.
