This one is for my Baby Girl

I cannot believe my baby is almost 8 months old!!!! Time flies, She is such a sweet girl she is always smiling. She loves to eat which is very rare since her sister does NOT. This little girl brings a smile to our face every day, she's learning to crawl which is funny because she scoots her self all over the place. We have hard wood floor throughout and it's easy for her scoot, She tries to army crawl but really uses her hands to grip the floor.
She has discovered clapping and she rocks when music is played. She loves her big sister and you can tell she wants to play like her. She is definitely a Mommy's girl, she loves dad but she'll always come to momma and makes sure that I'm at her sight. She's a lot more clingy than big sis ever was, she has been getting more accustomed to strangers.
She has been doing this funny thing when she sleeps; she puts her legs through her crib railings,I go there and fix it but when I come back to check on her it's the same way again. I can't imagine it being comfortable. I love her to pieces even at 4 in the morning when she wakes up...every night for her morning bottle!!! (yes she still wakes up) Ahhh I long for my 8 hours of sleep!! She loves baths and splashing water everywhere. Anyway at her last Dr. appt. she was 15 lbs which is 10lbs less than her older sister is at the present moment! She has been eating baby food and formula, I had to stop breastfeeding since m skim milk was not helping with the weight gain. I just have to accept that my babies will always be small and that I need to supplement.
Here are some recent pictures to show my happy baby girl.

This one is for my BIG girl.

I just wanted to give a little shout out to my Big Girl. My little girl who makes us laugh, who is our personal Taylor Swift (you should hear her sing) and dance. She is my helper, my buddy, my "Princesa" as she calls me.

Her recent quotes have been; "Mom you should go do that, or something..." she has been adding "or something" to her sentences for some reason it's quite funny, but it's not "or something" it's "or sumefin" so cute I love it! She is into princesses so everyday, when she plays with food or dress ups etc... she is always getting something ready for the "ball" she asks me "Are you getting ready for the ball" She is also quite the singer and dancer, put some music on like Taylor Swift or Enchanted soundtrack and you can hear her a mile away while shaking her bottom. Another thing that is very funny is that every time we are getting ready to leave the house she always goes hunting for her purse, lipgloss, cell phone and keys...did she learn that somewhere???? hahah Every morning she wakes up and asks me about her sissy she always says "I wanna see Wivvy, mom" "Where is Wivvy" "I love her, my sister" I hope she always feels that way about her little sis.

Although she's my BIG girl she is in fact very small she only weighs 24 lbs, but the Dr. is not concerned. I am always concerned; even though she is pretty dang smart and doing what she is supposed to be at her age.

I'm grateful for the opportunity I have to be her mother, I'm honored that Heavenly Father would share this little spirit with our family, that always (well almost always, except when she's pulling her drama queen attitude) brings joy to our lives.

Here are some recent pictures of my "BIG" girl.

After a long break Here are some new updates...

Baby "O" is almost 7 months she is very happy and loves to eat! She also loves her big sis and her eyes brighten when "G" walks in the room.
She is rolling and sitting without support!

Big Sister, is very funny, she says the funniest things. She loves her little sis, she hugs and kisses her all the time, it's sooo cute to see their interaction. G is potty trained which is a huge milestone we've completed, she's also obsessed with Cinderella and Princesses right now. She often tells me that I'm a princess and she's a princess and her sister is a princess but Daddy is a Prince. So I'm glad she somewhat understands the difference between boy/girl.

Daddy is waiting to hear back from different dental schools and enjoying his time off with from work/school to be with the family, since you'll never know when he'll have this much free time again! He loves his girls and they love him.

I've been learning a lot about myself, my strengths and weaknesses. I've also been working on trying to get back into my fitness, post baby "O". I've been working out at home with some workout videos and I'll tell you what they kick your butt. Have been enjoying the extra help with Daddy around and just adjusting to a new town. (Not so new almost 4 months). The pictures I posted are from a pumpkin patch that we went to with some friends, then from Halloween etc... I hope to be better at this blog thing, It's on my schedule to try to updated it on mondays!

This is what is happening with us in a nutshell.

HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY !!!!

It has been 4 years since Hubby and I have said I do for eternity. We have come a long way in these 4 years, we have moved from UT to CA, to UT then to AZ we have lived in 5 different homes. We have one almost 2 kids. We were in school, then started a business, then sold the business and now in school again. It has been a fun journey together and I'm so excited for what the future holds, I'm sure there will be lots more moving etc... in the future but I wouldn't have it any other way.It seems like it was just yesterday when we met in freezing cold Logan, and now to be where we are today. I love you honey and am so grateful to have you for eternity!

Happy birthday my little princess!

Today is my little one's birthday she is turning two. I know I'm in trouble because she's already been going through her terrible twos, but I love this phase as well. She is so dang cute, She is so caring when she wants to be. her new thing is that she asks for hugs and kisses which I think is so cute and funny. She says; "mommy, I yant a hug"or "kisses mommy" and she is also going though this fake crying stage, well that's sorta my fault since when she would do something to hurt my feelings I would pretend I was crying and tell her that I was sad, now she mimmicks me and asks with a pouty face "Mommy sad?". I just love her to pieces and can't believe how fast time has gone be, it seems like it was just yesterday that I was in the hospital holding this little 5lb 6 oz full of hair baby girl and now she walks, talks, jokes around and fights back. Two precious years and all that she's learned wow! I'm so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who has "loaned" her to me and has trusted me to teach her correct principles etc... I love being a mom, I love spending time with her and I love to know that even when we have those hard days (terrible twos) it can all be erased with just a quick little silly grin or hugs and kisses. Happy birthday baby girl! I love you so much. (I'll have to add pictures a little later, this computer doesn't have any and I don't have my camera with me).

Me and giving up!

I'm writing this, not for pitty. I think that it's my reality, and I just have to face it. I'm a quitter. Ever since I was a teenager, I would go to try outs etc.... after making the first cut I wouldn't go back, because I was afraid of rejection... so I would quit. I started college, then got married and decided that I wanted to be a mom more than anything in the world, I wanted to be a veterinarian, but then I quit... I know that being a mom is a lot more impiortant and I wouldn't trade it for the world, but I see all my roommates graduating and some even getting a Masters degree and I can barely have my child obey me and listen to me. I make goals for myself and can never keep them, that's why I just give up and don't even make them anymore, that's why this blog is never updated. Yesterday, I decided to start potty training, I read a book , I thought I had everything I needed, I was doing well, trying to be positive, overall when we went to bed I felt ok about it, This morning I woke up and tried going back to where we stopped yesterday and it was bad, so bad that I was starting to losing my cool, and wasn't so enthusiastic as I was yesterday, She didn't want to listen to me and she would throw a tantrum and cry and cry. Me and my pregnancy hormones, had had enough so I quit! I decided I didn't care if she was in diapers for a while, I like my sanity and quiet. I will work on her listening to me first then move on to potty training. Still, what do I do about this Quitting problem that I have? I need counseling!!

Awesome giveaway!!
