Father's Day

I haven't been keeping up with posting, to update Genivieve sat up all by herself for a few minutes on Father's Day 6.19.11! What a great gift for Dad.

I also found that Shutterfly had a great deal on personalized cards so we made one for Brent. It was full of pictures of him and Vieve together and it turned out great! We also made one for Papa (my Dad) from all the grandkids. That one was pretty cute too. I love cards full of pictures, especially when they are of super cute kids.
Happy Thursday!

Forever Family

On Friday, June 24 we were sealed as an eternal family in the Mesa Temple. It was a beautiful moment, one we had been looking forward to for some time. Can you see it? We are glowing! Well, that is probably because it was 110 deg. outside even at 7pm, but we were pretty happy.

Travel

I love to travel and explore the United States. With Independence Day approaching I thought it would be fun to see how many states I have actually visited or lived in. I've got a ways to go, this makes me want to plan a vacation, mostly to New England.

5 Months Old

I woke up this morning looking at my sweet girl thinking the newborn is long gone and we are in full baby mode. I was sad thinking of how fast she is growing and developing, but these are all great things and I am so thrilled she is doing them. I am so thankful I was able to enjoy snuggling my sweet baby every minute of the day for the first few months, never putting her down. I got to saver every minute of our time together and with her growing I know I haven't missed a thing.

Now that she is 5 months old our days are spent doing more than just sitting and staring at each other. Genivieve is a very busy girl, she absolutely loves her toys! She is fond of her swing, as are we. I have said it before and I'll say it again, "Heaven Bless the inventor of the baby swing!" She has a few favorite toys, "Donna Bunny", "Crinkle Elephant", "the talking butterfly" and "the vibrating monster that hangs from the carseat".

  • She love to eat baby prunes and sweet potatoes but doesn't care for carrots, peas, green beans or rice cereal.
  • she can roll from her tummy to her back and is on the verge on going fro her back to her tummy. 
  • she loves bath time, it's the best way to put her in a good mood.
  • she now loves her new carseat and will play or fall asleep in the car. (went from graco to chicco)
  • she can sit up with a little support and loves to play. 
  • Great a nursing still
  • loves to smile and laugh an Mom and Dad
  • and the BIG one. You now sleep in your crib and go to sleep all by yourself and have been for two weeks now! Hooray. 
Happy five months my lovely child!
