Our Baby is going to be two. How did this happen?

It has been a ride! The last two years filled with all of those things that you don't realize you are going to miss so much. The nighttime feedings, the sweet little goo's and gaa's as they learn to talk, the precious moments you have nursing your baby with no sound and only the moonlight bouncing off of your shoulder. The first tooth, first word, the first step. It all seems like a distant memory yet feels as if it were a second ago. Right before my eyes I am watching a baby turn onto a child. An independent individual with imagination and opinions. A little girl with so much to say and a hunger to learn everything about her world. A fearless toddler with no hesitation when trying to conquer new challenges. A beautiful child who stole my heart the moment I knew I was carrying her inside me. Nobody tells you that the decision to have a child is to forever have your heart walking around outside your body. I thought I knew what love was, but I had no idea!

Mommy's Girly-Girl

Hannah discovered Mommy's jewlery box today. We had a great time dressing up and looking at ourselves in the mirror. I think she is beautiful, but it is never too early to teach your child that beauty is only skin deep. Pretty is as pretty does.

HAPPY EASTER!

Hannah finally had the opportunity to celebrate Easter like a kid...not a baby. She was thriled with her Easter basket full of plastic eggs, bubbles, and toys. She loved dressing up in her beautiful dress and having her hair done almost as much as Mommy enjoyed seeing her. She looked like a modern day Shirley Temple.

Sisters and Friends!

Hannah is now 18 months old. If those of you with children will recall this time in your parenting life, you will understand why I haven't written a new post lately.

Deziray and Alessondra visited us a few weeks ago. It was so much fun to see our girls together again. I can't believe that Deziray and I are parents. We are both assertive, strong-willed Mothers with a great expectations for our beautiful daughters.

All though I am the older sister, I depend on Deziray for so much advice. She coached me through nursing problems, teething, behavior problems, and sleeping issues. Deziray is my sister first, but she is also my best friend. Yes, the same sister that used to beat me up for not doing her hair properly is now my friend. The same sister that I tried to kill, using her head as a batting ram into the bathroom drywall, is now my confidan. Who would have ever thought this was possible? At any rate, I just wanted to thank her for being my "Go-to person." I love her very much.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Our holiday season was filled with family and friends. Out trip to Oklahoma was hectic, yet really great. We enjoyed spending time with the Grandparents and our families. We want to thank everyone who took the time and made the effort to host get-togethers this year. Your hard work was appreciated. Hannah had a wonderful time getting reaquainted with our family. She did really well in spite of being out of her normal routine. She is a social butterfly. We hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Sorry about the long delay between posts.

Ok...I apologize for how long it has been since I posted a new blog. My computer was at the shop, but now it is up and running again. It ha been a trying couple of weeks for us. Hannah is cutting her molars. She has had a difficult time with all her teeth. However, the molars have proven to be the most difficult for her (and Mommy and Daddy.) She is talking very well. She says about 6-10 words that you can understand and thousands that you can't. She is without a doubt Daddy's little girl. It is so sweet to watch the two of them together. As we prepare for our trip to OKC for the holidays, we can't help but feel a little sad about how quickly the first yar came and went. She was my little baby. Now she is my little girl. of course she will always be Mommy's baby.
