Bling!

Little Addy got her ears pierced yesterday! I was so nervous and felt so guilty but it really wasn't as bad as I thought. You were right Shelley! ;) She looks beautiful with her little "bling". She's my precious little princess!

Tag.. I'm it!

I've been tagged... I will now attempt to name the top 10 reasons I love my life.

10. Health - (I'm stealing this one from Shelley..but it's so true!) I'm very thankful that myself and my family are very healthy. I couldn't be more happy that my pregnancy went smoothly and my baby girl was born happy and healthy. None of us have any real health problems and that is a huge relief - especially with the glorious health care system in America!

9. Freedom - Okay even I think this is cheesy, but I think we all take it for granted. I love that we are all free to do what we want, say what we want & believe what we want. Rob was born in a communist country so it's a huge reminder of how lucky we are to be where we are today and have the freedom we do. (Even if we do have a shitty President...teehee)

8. Hobbies - Although there is never enough time in the day to get everything done that I wish to, I enjoy the times I do get to spend on my hobbies. These days they include: scrapbooking, crafting and starting a small home business.

which brings me to..

7. Dreams - I have several dreams of what I want to do in life or what I want to be when "grow up". It's nice to have these things and always work on achieving my goals. One of my smaller more recent "dreams" has been to open my online baby boutique. I've been working hard to get it started and I'm anxious to get it up and running! Eventually I hope to accomplish other dreams - like completing a degree in accounting and working from home as an accountant.

6. Luxuries - Mostly thanks to Rob, I am able to enjoy a lot of luxuries in my life. Most importantly, I get to stay home with my baby girl. I can't imagine it any other way. My beautiful truck, our lovely home, and all the gifts he spoils me with make life just a little more enjoyable!

5. My Puppies - I have always been a huge animal lover, and especially a dog lover. My dogs mean a lot to me. I look forward to them greeting me every morning and every time I get home. I miss our little Oreo and I think of him every day. I'm just glad he was able to find a great new home and new companions. Simon and Sadie complete our family.

4. Friends - I don't have a lot of them, but the one's I have are GREAT! Shelley, Shoko, Kenzie, Kari, Tanya, Sara, Patti - I love you guys! Thanks for always being there & listening. Not sure what I'd do without you.

3. Extended family - My family has never been very "tight knit" but I have to say that it's none-the-less very important to me. Since Rob's family is small and very far away, my family is close to all we've got. I enjoy the time spent with my family and even more I enjoy the relationship Addy is building with my family. I hope she has a very full & family oriented life!

2. My "Significant Other" - Even though he hasn't "popped the question" Rob is nothing short of a husband to me.. He is turning into a great dad and spoils us with lots of luxuries. Without him, I wouldn't have my precious little girl & nor would I be able to spend every day, all day, with her.

1. My Baby Girl - Addy means the world to me! It's truly an amazing thing to be a mother. It's the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I look forward to every day, knowing I will spend it with my beautiful daughter! I LOVE YOU ADDY!



I did it!! ..Wasn't sure I had it in me. Thanks SHELLEY! I hope you enjoy! =P

Two Months!

Little Addy is two months old today. I can't believe it. She had her two month check up today - she weighs 10lbs and is 24 inches long. She gets more and more beautiful with every passing day. She smiles at us now, which is really awesome. She continues to hold her head up for more time each day and almost has those little arms and hands under control. A new habit of hers is sucking her fist. Not her thumb. Not her fingers. Definitely not her pacifier. Her fist! ...Silly girl...
