My little angel!

While we were at Walmart getting Sommer's passport picture taken we took the opportunity to get some "professional" ones too. This is the best one (and the one I have 40 pictures of) so we will be giving them out to family and friends. I always have shoes on her feet but the one time I didn't we decided to take her picture. What was I thinking... I should never let her leave the house without her shoes on! And I have really cute shoes for her too. The girls got 15 pairs!!! Oh well, fuzzy, bright, white socks will have to do for this picture. But you have to admit, she is dang cute!

Sommer's Valentine Message!

Sommer wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day. You say that phrase and she will talk back. She loves to talk... wonder who she got that from?

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines Day! Sommer is enjoying her Valentines Day outfit from Grandma Kim. She had ADORABLE jeans with little embrodered hearts on them but they were too big. But the shirt looks cute with just a pair of light pink pants.

So sleepy!

Sommer is sleeping! HURRAY! She has not been sleeping good lately so I am very tired. Seems like most moms are tired that I talk to. I think she was going to sleep too soon (8 pm) because we have been cooped up in the house. Usually she goes to bed around 10 pm and will sleep through the night. So this evening I kept her awake and man was she tired and cranky! But I kept her busy by talking to her, giving her a bath, followed by a baby massage and then nursed her before putting her in bed at 10 pm. She was sound asleep in my arms by the time she finnished nursing and went to sleep no problem. WOW! I'm ready for bed too.

I hate winter so much! I cant wait for summer to come so we can go for walks around the neighbourhood, go to the park with friends and play in the backyard. I am going stir crazy in the house with a three month old. Not to mention I have an amazing summer wardrobe for Sommer to wear, haha! So many little skirts and shorts, tank-tops and sandles. AHH!!! I LOVE SUMMER! (and Sommer !)

Well, Im going to go to bed here... or maybe watch my favorite show (Jon & Kate Plus 8). Hope everyone had a good (cold) day!

3 month pics!

These are some pictures of Sommer at 3 months. She always has to have her teddy with her when she sleeps, and her soother. Both of those items I would cry if they were ever lost, haha. She now weighs 12 lbs 6 oz and is 23 1/4 inches long! She loves to laugh at herself in the mirror, go to Mommy & Baby Yoga, swimming at the Leisure Centre, take bubble baths with her mom and swing in her swing. Life is pretty fun when you are 3 months old! Can't believe how fast she is growing!

Slow down time!

People told me while I was pregnant that I would fall in love with my daughter, I just didn't realize how much they meant. The past three months have gone by so incredibly fast that I can hardly believe it. The once baby newborn girl who hardly opened her eyes has transformed into a loving and active three month who is ready to explore the world around her! I can remember placing all 6 lbs of her in the bassinett beside my bed, now I place her 12 lbs body in a crib down the hall. She once slept all day and now I am lucky if it's 2 naps which are often too short for me to get much done. There was a time when I was scared to bathe her because I felt like I was going to break her. Now I take her in the shower with me each morning and she plays in her tub. Time just seems to be going bye so quickly!

This little angle was sent from God and she means the world to me. It breaks my heart when she wakes up in her crib and cries because she doesn't know where I am. I hurry into the room and reassure her "Mommy's here. Did you have a good sleep? I love you!" I pick up her still tiny body and hold it close to me, give her head a kiss and whisper that I love her. Each smile she makes and little noise that comes from her warms my heart and makes me so proud. I am her mom, she is my daughter... we have a bond like no other.

Three short months, that's all it has been, and I can't remember life without her. My once busy days have turned into ones revolved around her. When does she need to eat? When is it nap time? Oh well, guess I won't get groceries today! But that's okay because one look in her little eyes and I can hold off on groceries or whatever was on my to-do list. Sommer is most important. I know time will continue to fly bye and in a few years I won't know where it went. I cherish each day I get with her because you never know what time will bring. Being a Mommy is the best feeling in the world!
