Happy 8 months to baby girl!

Happy 8 months to my sweet angel!


I can't believe you have gotten so big baby girl. Time has flown by! You are the best thing to ever happen to me! You are such a beautiful smart and unique baby and I am so glad that God blessed your daddy and I with you! 

Mommy loves you sweet girl!

My Angel

I've got an angel
She doesn't wear any wings
She wears a heart that can melt my own
She wears a smile that can make me wanna sing
She gives me presents
With her presence alone
She gives me everything I could wish for

3 MoNtHs!!

Hi sweet baby girl!
Yesterday, you turned 3 months old! I cannot believe time is flying by so fast! You really have lighted mommy and daddy's world up! You are the best thing that has ever happened to me!

You have learned to:
Roll over
Discovered your hands
Started playing with toys
Hold your head steady now
Interact with new people
Grab things

You are trying to:
Sit up on your own like a big girl
Talk (as much as a three month old possibly can)
& many more things I can't think of at the moment!



You are beautiful my sweet girl. Everyone who sees you falls in love. Everyone says you're tiny but you seem so big to me! We carry you around now in your Ergo baby carrier and you love it! No more stroller for momma to lug around everywhere! You tried cereal, too, for the first time 2 days ago & loved it!

I know there is probably much more but thats all I will write for now!

Love,
Your proud momma

Life

Having a baby reminds you the true meaning of life.

That's what I realized the second i held her.

Its the small things that matter most.

We may not have everything or even close, but we're happy.

That is what life is about.

Life is simply pure bliss.

Life is beautiful & slowly, I am realizing it more and more every day.

Milestones are BEAUTIFUL

So we're learning to adjust. Adjusting to life with baby can be tough. It's the most beautiful experience that I could have EVER dreamed of though and I couldnt be happier! Raelyn is perfect to me. She is something i could have never even dreamed of! I'm glad we didn't wait to have her. I know life is a little harder because we didn't but it gives life true meaning. Every day is a new adventure and even when things get tough, she smiles or looks up with her big blue eyes and reminds me that everything will be okay.

This is what our morning looks like..

Here's a milestone for you!



Look at that beautiful girl!

Hello Again ...

So I know it has been forever! We finally got our laptop so I'm back to blogging!

 Life has been fantastic! Raelyn is growing so fast!

 She is now *10.5lbs and 21.5 inches long!*

                                         Can you believe that!? She is getting so so big!

                            She started cooing and started using her tub without the net!

Oh & as of today, she now sits like a big girl in her bumbo!

She talks as much as momma, if not more, but, she's definitely a daddy's girl!

She loves her daddy, almost more than I love him! =]

I love this journey of being a momma!

Now if only I could conquer the laundry and keep the house clean!

"Meet my new friend and check out me being a big girl in my new bumbo!"



Amazing

Just a little side note,
     

     [Im pretty sure I have the most amazing daughter in the ENTIRE world and can't get over how I seriously LOVE her more than life itself... if that's possible.]

     Its two o'clock in the morning and I can't sleep because I busted my rear/back earlier with all this snow/ice business that us Texans have received this week and am hurting..
  
Anyways.. She's asleep on my chest and really warm and reminds me of a TINY version of the love of my life. & he's at work right now so thats a really really awesome thing!

 I can't believe she'll be 7 weeks old on Tuesday... Time is flying by!!!

Anyways, I'm really thankful for the family that God has given me. I couldn't be happier to have such an amazing husband and beautiful daughter!


P.S. I had a beautiful day out in the snow besides falling. Husband and I got to take a walk (just the two of us!) and had a blast watching all the families slide down the hill over here by our house! We laughed a lot and it was very much needed!

Baby Bath Adventure of Tonight

So my night was very eventful to say the least...

Raelyn has this habit of as soon as we put her in the water, she decides its nice enough to go potty and its not pleasant, I'll tell you that much. haha. Since I've become very big about germs and things of that sort, her going "potty" means picking her up, draining the water, washing the tub out, and starting the process all over again! Its a hassle but hey, all she knows is its relaxing and if she has to go, then she has to go.

So anyways, tonight...

I went to start our nightly routine, and since I didn't sleep well last night due to the weather, I wasn't thinking too much..

So first, I put the water in her tub: Too warm!

Second, I add cold water to cool it off: Too cold!

So then, I drain the water in attempt to start this process over and make it just right!

Oh, & p.s. all while holding naked baby Raelyn on my knee not thinking..

Needless to say, her bath routine, happened on mommy...

Not too pleasant... haha.

Ew, to say the least..

On a more pleasant note,

bath time has become a little more fun for her lately, & us!

I've been sitting her in the water and letting her kick her legs and arms,

I read it's good for baby since it's like being in mommy's tummy and also, it strengthens her legs!

Its also, a good laugh for mommy and daddy because she gets so happy!

Hope you enjoyed!

An explanation of me and my life.

So, I started this blog because I constantly feel like writing and since I've had a baby recently... I have a lot to write about! If you didn't know, I'm a young stay at home mom and I actually really enjoy it. I know most girls dream of the whole independent, dream job route but honestly, I couldn't have been blessed any more than having that dream of mine fulfilled. Neither of our families really understand me being a stay at home mom because we both come from working families. I know... I know.. Not your typical "fun" job. I mean a baby spits up, poops, pees and cries on a daily basis and quite often I might add. The things that make up for that though are the smiles, sweet moments, cuddling, watching those milestones, someone to talk to who enjoys listening to your voice, and the uncondition love. You would think staying home with a baby would be the "easy task" but honestly, it's hard work. Its a constant, 24/7 never-ending job. Oh, & learning to balance the time in a day is a challenge. You have to learn how to balance the constant feeding, changings and just time with baby along with your daily life before hand. I definitely don't mind though. I seriously love being a mom. Its the best gift anyone could ever be given, in my opinion. On another note in my life, so you know, my husband is a man I met back in middle school at church camp. We've been best friends since and actually ended up falling in love and here we are! He's my go to man, comedian, shoulder to cry on, rock, therapist and many many more things. While I was pregnant, I couldn't have asked for someone better.. Between all the sick days, hospital visits, "off" moods, "ugly" days, emotional rollercoaster, and not getting out of the house for 9 months to do fun things.. I don't know how he did it but somehow we managed to survive!


Anyways, thats the main scoop. My life is beautiful to me right now and I hope that my future posts will give you some insight on why I'm so happy these days and hopefully give you some laughs!
