68/365 (March 9) Mama and Baby!

Considering I am the one that is usually behind the camera, it is rare that I have a picture of Grace and I together. And even more rare that I have a picture of us together that I actually enjoy. My new goal is to work on getting pictures of us together more often. This was taken the other day and I love it. She looks a little zoned out, as we were on the way to her nursery to start her bedtime routine, but I approve.

This Mama loves her baby girl more than words can say!

And because this picture was so darn cute, I had to add it in. She loves her rainforest friends!

45/365 My Most Perfect Valentine!

Valentine's Day was perfect because I got to spend it with my sweet baby girl! They say nobody is perfect...but I think whoever "they" are, they clearly haven't met this little lady.

Getting a picture with her at the end of the day was hard - because all she wanted to do was plant big kisses on me and give me "face squishies." It's how she shows me her love- and I can't get enough of either.

Sure, sometimes her kisses look more like she's trying to eat my face:

And the face squishies make me look...well, squished:

But I love her just the same and will cherish our first Valentine's day together forever.

Earlier in the day, Grace had fun playing in cousin Landon's Johnny Jump Up. It wasn't the same as her jumperoo, but she seemed to have fun. She was amazed by how she could lift her legs and spin in circles effortlessly:


And while the adults enjoyed dinner at the restaurant, Grace shared her lovin' with Sophie:

This sweet baby makes my heart so full of love every single day. She was definitely my most perfect Valentine!

22/365 Let's Face It...

...the baby isn't always a happy, smiling, carefree little girl. We are very lucky that she is 90% of the time. However, that other 10% of time when she is either sick, teething, bored, or just being a baby, she makes some pretty sad faces. And some really loud noises! Today, she has 2 teeth that are on the way to the surface. We thought they were going to break through the other day but we can still just feel and see them. Needless to say, the babe isn't a fan of this process. There is a lot of this going on when the tylenol and oragel wear off:



But have no fear, as soon as she is calmed down, we get our happy baby back, even if only temporarily. Here we are cuddled on the couch staying warm:

14/365 Immunization Day

After getting home from her 4-month shots, Baby Girl took some time out for rolling around. As you can see here, she gets super frustrated when she gets on to her belly and tries to move forward...but hasn't figured out crawling yet. She just digs and digs with her hands, and kicks with her legs. So determined!
