Wondering what our Little Miss is up to???

Our sweet girl is sleeping all night! Can you believe that? She will be 8 weeks old tomorrow and she has been sleeping all night for about a week and a half. AHHHH...we are loving it, although, I really did LOVE those bonding moments that she and I shared in the middle of the night when we were the only ones awake. I know that lack of sleep sometimes clouds these moments, but man they are precious. She would always be so happy when she would wake up. Just lying there SMILING!



She is still eating 5 oz every 3 hours through out the day. She is such a little eater. :) We have been giving her a little bit of rice in her bottle since she was about 5 weeks. They said it could constipate her a little bit, but it has done the opposite for her. She used to stay a little bit constipated, but since on the rice, she goes very well.



She is very much so a Momma's girl...although Justin would definitely beg to differ! :)



She NEVER spits up! I am so amazed with this. Isn't that what babies are supposed to do? Not her...I always say she doesn't want to let go of any of that food! Haha!



She is always so happy. She rarely ever cries. Seriously, I have probably only heard her cry like maybe 6 times. She is just always so bright eyed and smiley.

She absolutlely loves to cuddle up with her Mommy and Daddy! We actually love it just as much! Sometimes I wish that I didn't have to do anything except sit and hold her and just show her how much we love her.



She is cooing alot now. She will just lay there and kick and talk and laugh at us. I just LOVE to make her smile. Everything in this world is perfect when she is smiling.



She has went to her very 1st Birthday party last night! It was at Chuck E Cheeses! She was so wide awake and just looking around like "Whoa where in the world am I?" Bless her heart! She had a blast there with all of those little kids! HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY, MICAH!



We had her first pictures taken last weekend and they are perfect. I mean honestly, they are perfect! I cry just about every time that I look at them. The first song that plays on my blog is the song that plays through her pictures and it just takes my breath away. Although it says "Man and Wife", every other part of the song is so perfect for our journey to find her. This is the verse that gets to me every time


All the things you are to me
Darling you have set me free
Always give you what you need and what you deserve
All the joy and all this love
I know that it is from above
And now together there's enough to fill this world


'Cause you are the love of my life
You are the love of my life
And now we're man and wife


All the things that you will do
And now i'm standing next to you
And darling I will see you through the rest of our lives
With you beside me I have won
I'm glad i've waited for so long
There is no doubt that you are the one for me




This is definitely my new favorite song! I absolutely love it. I could not imagine my life with out this little girl. My life has taken on a new meaning, and I love it. This is what I was put here on Earth to do, to be her Mother. I find myself really wishing that my Mom was here to share this joy with us. She would love her so much. She would be so wrapped around her finger. She would have so much fun watching Carson cuddle right up to her. Then, I some how know that she knows ALL OF THIS JOY that we are having right now because she is here with me every single day witnessing this joy. I know that my daughter is my Mother shining through. My Mom chose Little Miss' name. We were camping in September of last year when I told my Mom that I wasn't sure if she would be here when I was able to have a child, and that I wanted to have atleast something to share with her when that day came. I asked her to choose a name, either boy or girl, or both. She chose a girl's name because she has always said that she absolutely knew that I would have a girl first. SHE WAS SO RIGHT! She chose the name that my daughter will now carry for the rest of her life. I will be able to share more with you after we are finalized!

Isn't God so great? He has definitley given us such a HUGE BLESSING for waiting so long. We truly feel that he has blessed us with such a good baby just to reassure us that he has had this planned for us all along. Everything that we have went through, now is so worth it. We would go through every bit of it again to bring us to this Angel.

  3. Sleeping through the night?! How incredibly blessed! I have friends who 1 year olds don't sleep through the night. :) I just "met" you but I can tell you and your mom were so close. What a fabulous way to forever honor her in that she named your daughter!

  4. Oh Kel! Every time I think of how blessed and happy you are, I think of your mom. I know she'd be so proud of you and so proud of her new grand daughter. I think you're right though, she is with you every day. Even though she isn't here the way you'd like her to be, she is still sharing all the joy and happiness with you and your new little one. I am SO happy for you and Justin and Little Miss! Your family is SO blessed.... AND I am blessed... to call you one of my BEST friends. Can't wait to see Little Miss again!!!!
