Ho ho ho

My little munchkin turned five months old yesterday...

So weird that she is closing in on a half a year. I swear a week ago I was running around the block to try to put myself into labor. It has been the best five months. Blakley is in the 'only mommy and daddy can hold me' phase. It is cute, but can get exhausting. It makes me never want to get a babysitter cause I know how sad she will be the whole time. I've said it before, but she is little miss sensitive. She will have a meltdown and then get over it and ten seconds later think about it again and decide she should be sad again. Love her. She is having the time of her life lately in her little saucer toy. It entertains her forever. She feels like such a big girl cause she can grab her binky and stick it in her mouth. She laughs and laughs (especially with Curt) and rolls and rolls. She loves music and dancing, it gets her so excited that she doesn't know what to do but kick her legs and shake. She has learned to scream when things are making her mad, and I think it's so funny. Probably one of her favorite new discoveries is water in a cup. She is in heaven if I give her little sips of it and freaks out if I take it away from her. She is such a good girl and her cheeks are still growing, I love them so much! She is my little snuggle bug and I love that her personality is shining through more and more everyday.

Today we had a little photo shoot that began like this

Poor thing... and now she's asleep

Life is Good

Blakely woke up tonight crying because she had kicked off all her blankets and was cold. She needed some snuggle time. I picked her up and got in my bed with her and she nuzzled right into me and fell back asleep almost instantly. Curt was a little jealous of me so he came and joined in the snuggle and we had a moment. I think I could have laid like that forever. I love my little family. I cant really put into words how special it is to take care of a little baby who needs you, trusts you, and feels safe with you. This little girl melts Curt and I...

P.S. the downside to living in a barn... a huge mother of a spider just crawled right next to my arm REALLY fast. I dont do well with these things. And have I mentioned my sixth sense for them? It is real... Thank goodness Curt has such macho muscles

3 Months!!!

Little Blakely is three months old today!!! New things she is discovering...

She Loves TV!!! It is so funny. We can take her to movies and she doesn't make a peep. She watches watches watches... then crashes. So today I took some friends advice and put on baby einstein while I took a shower and got ready and had she was so entertained the whole 30 minutes and I had no interruptions! It was pretty great! (no Im not gonna be the mom who just puts her kid in front of a tv to make them happy, although it kinda already seems like I am) but those 30 minutes were heaven!

Rolling over! Yesterday I put her on her tummy which she loves and she just propped herself up and rolled over. It was so awesome! It almost seemed accidental by the look on her face but she did it again later that day. She has never even made a move towards rolling over and then all the sudden yesterday she did it!

Drooling and putting everything in her mouth. She especially loves her thumb and fingers! She even managed to give me a hickey on my arm the other day!

Smiling, giggling, drooling, and being my little buddy! Plus she is so ticklish! I swear she couldn't be more like Curt! I love it! Being a mom is by far the most rewarding thing ever!

Lately...

Ok Ok you can all stop feeling bad for me cause funny story... the people who bought Tilly called two days later and told us there dog and Tilly were getting into it pretty bad and they didn't think they were the right fit for her!!! Hooray!!! I was just praying something would happen like that haha! She's back for good folks, I am not going through that again hopefully ever!!! But thanks for all the support, really did make me feel better!

Blakely...
We blessed her a few weeks ago and it was such a special day. Curt said so many sweet things and the spirit was so strong. Im so grateful to have someone who honors his Priesthood and uses it to strengthen us. Thanks to everyone who came and supported us and brought food! It meant so much to us and we are so thankful!
Blakely had her two month appt. and got her shots, boo. She is getting so big! She weighed in at a whopping 13 pounds (95%) and 23.5 inches (90%)... we are loving her humongo cheeks and rolls !! Ooo I could just kiss those cheeks all day. She has changed soooo much and it is soooo fun! She is almost three months now and I cant believe how alert she is and how much she makes us laugh. She has most definitely found her voice and LOVES to hear herself. It is to cute. She is all smiles after she wakes up and will just talk and talk and smile and smile. We went to St. George over the weekend and she has some toys over her carseat to try to keep her happy in the car (she HATES car rides) and they have helped, but anyway... she puts her arms in the air and swipes them to make them jingle! And this is no accident! She does it forever and loves it! She is such a lover and is pretty sensitive! She knows when someone besides her mommy or daddy are holding her and she gets the saddest little frown and cry haha. She just loves to snuggle and I love that she will still let me. The other day I got her to giggle for reals! Oh it was so adorable and she is so ticklish... and best of all... SHE SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!!! Well basically! She goes seven or eight hour stretches then I feed her and she goes back to sleep until about ten usually! She loves to sleep in and I love that she loves it! It just gets more fun everyday and every stage seems to be the best until she does the next thing and then of course that is the best! Geez I love this girl!

We are building a house!!! We are so excited to spread the wings, although the barn has been so good to us and will always be the favorite! But my parents lot that it's on is sold so we gots to move on... luckily we can stay here until the house is finished. Were supposed to close on the financing this week and then we are good to go!!! Yay!!! We found a lot in a neighborhood that we LOVE in Bluffdale. My handy hottie is doing tons of the work so we cant wait to get started.
...until next time... go to Five Guys!!! Mmmm!!
Does anyone know how to make the picture slideshows in a post??
