About Me

My photo
We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

December 16th Picture!

Adah with her 8 sleeping buddies! Thats right....she sleeps with 8 pacifiers!! Don't judge....she sleeps through the night since she has all 8 pacis in bed with her....cause if she wakes up she can easily find one!
Adah playing with her Uncle Josh! He didn't want to be in the picture for the blog! Notice the bow she is wearing....that is my newest type of bow I started making!

December 14th Picture!

Today Adah and I had swimming class today and Daddy came to watch for the first time and took several pictures.....I will post those as soon as Daddy gets them on the computer! After swimming we stopped for a quick lunch at Chilis. Swimming always takes a lot out of Adah but usually she can last through lunch....not today! One minute she was playing with a piece of lettuce the next minute she was PASSED OUT!

And a correction on yesterdays post....I said that Uncle Justin ran a half marathon but he ran his first FULL marathon....Gotta give him credit for the other 13.1 miles! Good job Uncle Justin!

December 13th Picture!

I seem to have a problem with posting only one picture a day....oh well....I guess it is better to have more pictures than no pictures!

Adah is cutting her two bottom teeth....I would be surprised if she didn't have both of them before this coming weekend! Here she is with her monkey in her mouth! Poor thing...all she wanted to do in the bath tonight too was chew on the wash cloth and she never does that!
Daddy had a soccer game today and it happened to be at the same time as nap time and it was FREEZING and rainy out so Adah and I stayed home so she could nap....then we played!


This next one is her cheering when I told her that her Uncle Justin finished his first full marathon this morning! She was so excited and we are all very proud of him and Lindsay too...Lindsay ran the half and got her best time ever! Congrats you two! Can't wait to see you guys soon!

December 12th Picture!

Today it rained pretty much the entire day so we stayed in most of the day. We did however make it out to see santa at our photographers Christmas party! We will be getting those pictures real soon! Here is one of Adah all dressed up to go see Santa....the second one is what she did the whole time we were at the party....

This outfit is from Candy! She gave it to Adah while we were all in Tahoe over Thanksgiving! I love the hat but Josh wasn't much of a fan of the hat....boys!
Needless to say we had to wake her to sit on Santa's lap....she did great but we didn't get many smiles since she had just woken up. We are gonna go visit Santa again tomorrow!

Be sure to check out the post before this...Pics of Adah and what she is up to at 7mths!

Adah is 7mths old today!

Our baby girl turned 7mths old today! She is getting so big...I say that every month! It was weird b/c today we went to a christmas party at our photographers house and one of the nurses that I had in the hospital that helped deliver Adah was there and had an 8wk old.....I remember her not even showing when she was just barely pregnant!

What is Adah up to lately:
-says da-da ALL THE TIME
-also says ya-ya
-finally rolled over on 12/7...acted like it was no big deal, like she had been doing it forever
-sits up unassisted
-wear size 3 diapers
-loves to smile
-loves to be scared....it makes her laugh so hard
-wearing 6-9 and some 6-12mth cloths
-loved to eat....but hates anything green!(we finally tricked her into eating green beans!)
-as of today she is no longer being swaddled.....she has been getting out of it as soon as we put her in it lately so we took it away today and so far she has done pretty good!
-realized that she gets dry, patchy skin easily....had to switch to Aveeno baby....I LOVE IT

Mommy and Daddy love you so much Potato!

We may be crazy but Adah gets presents on her monthly birthday! Here she is opening her present! She loved every part...the paper...the box....the toy!




These are Adah's 7mth bear pictures! This last one is her new pouty face....she does it all the time!

December 11th Picture!

Went made our weekly or daily (whos counting) trip to Target today and like usual walked the baby isles.....they happened to have some of Adah's MAM pacis on clearance so we decided to get some since she obviously LOVES them....she decided that she wanted to carry them...I guess she wanted to make sure that she had a spare incase she dropped the one in her mouth!

December 10th Picture!

I have officially lost my husband to this "new" game! Grrr....maybe one day he will get tired of playing or beat the whole thing and we can do something at night besides watching him play!

December 9th Picture!

Here is the Reindeer bow I made for Adah! I just LOVE it! Josh is playing in a Navy vs Army soccer game tonight....GO NAVY and I am going to a bow making party with some of the moms in my moms group! Now I don't have to make bows alone and I will have some one to share in my excitement instead of Josh's sympathy "oh thats cute"!

December 8th Picture!

There are WAY too many great pics from today that I can't choose just one so you get several!

This is Adah's Leopard bow that I made her last night....I am going to make her another one with some fun red ribbon with the leopard along with some other fun stuff to go with her red and leopard christmas dress that her Nana bought her.....sooooo excited about that one!
Here is the super cute Christmas tree bow that I made Adah! I am a little bit obsessed with it!
My little potato modeling her new bow!
Last....but definitely the best picture of the day....poor baby girl was TIRED! She fell asleep in the cart at Target! One minute she was chewing on my wallet the next minute the paci was in her mouth and my wallet was her pillow!
I decided that I would shop around Target a little longer instead of waking up the poor girl!
P.S. She had already had her nap not too long before this....but she hasn't been sleeping good the past few days and nights.....I guess it all caught up with her!

Oh and I made Adah a reindeer bow tonight.....OMG is it awesome! Pics to come tomorrow!

December 7th Picture!

Every Monday and Wednesday this month Adah goes to swim class for 30min. She really loves the water and is getting better and better at kicking and "swimming" with her arms....really its just splashing but hey you have to start somewhere! She has even gone under a few times.....today she didn't like it as much as she did the time before! Here is a picture of me and Adah....I am helping her learn how to kick kick kick!


For the record Val....I beat you! Just sayin! :)

December 6th picture!

I went to Michaels today and picked up some ribbon to make Adah a few Christmas bows as well as a bow to match her super cute outfit that her Nana got her....I can't wait to finish the bow so the whole outfit will be complete! I even went and got shoes to match!



December 5th picture!

I know it is a day late but better than never! Here is a picture of my sweet baby who couldn't make it 2 more minutes for us to get home from dinner out with friends last night.....she passed out in the car....we took her straight up and put her in her crib without her waking...which is a HUGE deal b/c she wakes a the drop of a hat...poor baby was worn out!

To my dear friend Val who thinks that I am a failure for not posting on time.....you better just be glad that you get to see a picture at all....you know my record with blogging isn't good...just saying! :)
