Father's Day

June 21, 2009, was R's first Father's Day and he got the best gift he could have asked for - LittleB decided to roll.  PRICELESS!!!  Does that mean she's going to be a daddy's girl?! :D   We went to church today and LittleB was getting fussy so we decided to head up to the family viewing room.  It's a room that is sound proof but you can still see and hear the service.  I laid LittleB beside me to try and get her to fall asleep and she decided she was going to lay on her right side and then continued to roll on her tummy.  We were both so excited and proud of her that I immediately pick her up and told her how proud of her I am!  It was so awesome that she did it while R was around and on Father's Day was a huge bonus.  Then I decided to lay her back down to make sure what we had just experienced was real and she did it for a second time.  She just amazes us each and every day!

We also took her 3 month pictures this weekend.  I know it's a couple of week early, but the next few weekends are going to be really busy with 4th of July get-togethers.

3 Year Anniversary and Family Update

On June 10, 2009, R and I celebrated our 3rd Anniversary.  It has been a great 3 years!  What I have learned throughout those years is the key to a great relationship is to put God first, communicate about everything, and then love and support each other in every aspect of life (EVEN if you don't always agree with your spouse's decision)!

As we waited for our dinner last night R was holding LittleB and asked her "Why did I wait till I was 30 to have you?"  I started to really think about that statement while I was holding LittleB today.  Then I realized we wouldn't be who/where we are at today if we hadn't waited.  Our marriage wouldn't be as strong as it is now, we wouldn't have the things we have or the experiences we have had leading up to this moment. One of the best things about waiting is that I am able to stay home with LittleB and that's important to me. Sure, R is going to be almost 50 by the time LittleB goes to college (yikes!), but I'll still be young. ;p

I am so lucky to have such a great wonderful husband, not to mention a loving daddy for LittleB.  He is so good to her!  She is SO precious!

Today, June 11, 2009, LittleB had her first trip to the library for story time.  She was the youngest there but I think it's still important to go because she can listen to the stories - plus she really liked watching the other babies crawl and walk around.

She's getting cuter each and everyday.  She just loves to laugh and smile!  Here is some more pictures that I took this week, but she is WAY cuter in person.  :D

Grandma and Grandpa B Came To Visit

My parents came up on Saturday and stayed the night. I think they were getting homesick for LittleB. At least now I know how to get them to come up more often!  :D  We did some shopping and Grandpa found a cute onesie at Target that said "Grandma's little doll" so Grandma bought it. While shopping I found a cute Fourth of July dress so I'll post pictures when the fourth comes. 

I just love to see my parents act so crazy over LittleB. We are so lucky to have her in our life and to see her grow into a beautiful young lady!

LittleB is 2 Months Today

Our Little girl is growing so fast.  It just seems like yesterday I was finding out I was pregnant.  Today R and I took her in for her first major set of shots.  She got 3 shots in her little legs.  Thank goodness we didn't have to hold her down!  The nurses laid her on the table and gave the shots to her.  She was very upset - I have never seen my baby cry so much!!  She started holding her breath for a second.  The crying lasted for a few minutes and then she went to sleep.  The Tylenol must have kicked in!  

LittleB weighs 11 lbs and 3.75 oz and her height is 23.75 inches.  Compared to other little girls LittleB is in the 80 percentile for weight and 97 percentile for height, and her little head is in the 24 percentile.
