Shots

I love being a mom more than I ever imagined. I love soothing my sweet baby when she cries and doing all the everyday things moms do. There is one small thing that I do not like..... and that is shots. On Monday Miss A had her four month appointment which was accompanied by shots. The look of terror in her eyes just made me sad however I think that she was less affected then me. I may be wrong but even though she did cry for a little bit it didn't last to long.

This week has been a great one as has this month. Next week Dannon will finish his second semester of his grad-degree. I am so excited for him and he is doing really well. We had an awesome Easter and realized another perk of having a cute baby, her Easter candy is our Easter candy. Lastly we are excited that Dannon's brother Nik and his wife Jen will be moving to North Logan. It will be great to have family closer!

Spitting is for Camels.... and Miss Ava

From the second Avalin was born she loved her tongue. There was no crying coming out of her mouth when the nurse handed her to me but a little tongue was sticking out then in then out again. Luckily she is cute so no one takes her, what could be interpreted as rude behavior, seriously. Lately her tongue has been accompanied by spit bubbles, smiles and giggles. Good things come from my baby's mouth.

During general conference I heard, among other things, to be like a little child. When I heard this I see Miss Ava sticking her tongue out and spitting then smiling and making cute noises to her self and all those around her. I want to be more like her and smile at all of those that smile at me even when I am crying or sad, as Avalin tries to do all the time. I want to say happy, nice things that make people smile. I want to make good things come from my mouth too. So I am going to speak kinder and smile more and try to be more like my little one.

Kids really do grow up fast

Even though our little sweetheart is only three months old she has seemed to grow up a lot. She is already smiling, laughing, and rolled over. She has also has grown out of her 0-3 month clothes which is all good because now she gets to wear her cute 3-6 month clothes. Being the mom of a girl is so much fun. There are a lot of cute girl clothes. And I am only a little jealous that she gets to change her wardrobe so often although I am glad I am not getting bigger causing me to have to get new clothes every three months.

Otherwise in our life things are going well. Dannon is doing great at his new job and he is also enjoying school. I really enjoy hearing about his vision for his career in the future. Also my grandparents just got back from their mission to the south Pacific islands and my mom just got back from europe. Even if I have only traveled to our neighboring countries, my close family is really turning into world travelers.

A Little Loveland

There are few decisions in life that immediately completely change your life. All choices do make a difference in our futures however some make a bigger difference then others. So to know when one of these events happen that it was wonderful choice and at the same time becomes so rewarding is really fantastic. That is what having a child has done for me. My sweet baby girl defines my days and nights with her time schedule, she more then doubles my laundry, and uses a majority of my time. However there isn't a moment that I wouldn't love a snuggle from her, to see her smile, or to simply know that I was helping her grow and be happy.
