Coming soon!!! Very soon!

We've been so busy! The online boutique is up! I just need to finish adding products and make some finishing touches and we will have our big grand opening!! Very exciting!

I haven't had time to update the blog - we have been running at full speed lately. Little Addy gets bigger every day. She has recently discovered her toes and her voice. (Which she's using right now!!)

I'll post more later and I'll disclose the details of the site within a few days!

Catching up..

It's been so long since I've posted. Time just flies! Addy is 3 months old now and things are getting very exciting around here. She's full of smiles and has just started to giggle, although she only does it for Simon (our border collie). She likes to watch Simon play fetch and jump in the air to catch the ball - occasionally doing sort of a back flip in the process. She is almost 100% with holding her head up and very excited to be using her Bumbo seat soon. She loves to watch Baby Einstein movies - and just about anything else on tv. She enjoys her toys a lot more these days and has started to pick them up and stick them in her mouth. It's been a lot of fun watching her discover new things, I look forward to many years of it!



So... about the boutique - I started a blog for it to provide updates, but also to announce new thing or introduce new items once the store is open. I may post about promotions, sales, or any other exciting thing that involves the boutique. Check it out at http://prettyinpinkbabyboutique.blogspot.com/ if you wish. I intend to have the site up by the middle of next weekk!! I have a bunch of exciting items for the grand opening of the store, but I also intend on adding new items quite often! I have tons of ideas - just not a whole lot of time. I really hope everyone likes the items as much as I do. Got any June birthdays or baby showers?? Come take a look!! I would love to help you find the perfect gift. Better yet - let's customize it! =)

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...

To nap.. or not to nap

I was going to take a nap along-side Addy when I came into my room at least 30 minutes ago. And then I opened my laptop..

Rob and I are going out on a "date" tonight.. sort of a double/triple date or something. Since Rob's parents are still here, we are taking advantage of the babysitting since we won't have that luxury when they are gone. We have left Addy for a few hours at a time to do some shopping or something. But, somehow going OUT tonight is making me feel a bit guilty. It is probably the last time (making this the only time) we will be able to go OUT for a long time, since his parents will be gone in just a few weeks. I probably just need to GET OVER IT.

So.. what I just wasted the last 30 minutes of my nap time doing is this - www.twitter.com. I became aware of the site through another blog I read. I'm not sure that my twitter account (/myaddy) will be getting much attention, but some others are interesting and entertaining. Supposedly it becomes addictive. Check it out!


Addy has awakened - so I must get going.
