Proud Mommy Moment

As a rule of thumb when it is quiet during playtime I tend to worry. When that silence came today, I glanced over and saw the Little Miss looking through a book, enjoying every last item on each page then turning to a new one.

Some of my fondest childhood memories were of my mother reading books to me, one after the other all through the day. I am thrilled to be raising a reader.

Can you tell her Dad picked out the book?

this is an older picture, I just love it.

I cherish the moments when she climbs on my lap and I get to read to my daughter, but watching her enjoy a book on her own makes me feel like I am doing something right. These simple moments bring warmth to my heart. What a proud mommy moment.

moving on up!

I know I'm behind but we have been so busy. How did that happen? We are still moving but mostly (90%) moved into our adorable place!  I seriously love it here. Even though we just moved a bit down the road it has made a world of difference. It is a bigger place, two bedroom (insert hallelujah chorus here)! We are loving all the storage, the great view, the sweet neighbors, the saltwater pool, the lush grass and I could keep going for hours! Basically this girl is so happy, it's a nice change. For someone who spends all my time at home its about time I like it!

Pictures of all the cute decoration will be coming. It's a good thing I got on Pinterest before the move. I had wall color, and all sorts of ideas handy to decorate and boy we have been busy! I love that Lowe's is just down the road, or maybe that's too close!

G loves to play when Dad's hair and he loves the scalp message. Don't you love her bed head?

Reading books and snuggling Dad. Saturday's are pretty great around here.

I was sick one Sunday and I woke up to this. Heavenly!

Proof she is not swaddles anymore! It was a good seven months. Why must they grow up? WHY?

Dad, I think your face would look good like this!

Genivieve turned  8 Months Old on the third. She is a sweet and super happy little thing. She is 17.5 pounds. In size 3 diapers. sleeping 13hrs at night and take two, 2hr naps a day! She captures everyone's attention and draws a crowd and compliments everywhere we go. It's nice that other people think our baby is cute, but I am so terrified of her getting sick it mostly makes me very nervous. New mother syndrome at its worst, i know.
