5 months..Sigh

Today my beautiful baby girl is 5 months old. I cannot believe how fast it has gone. She is growing up before my eyes! I love her so much, I cannot explain it. I honestly never knew I could love something so small, so much. She's my everything!
I love watching her grow and learn new things. For a while now she's been rolling over. Well now she rolls both ways and fast! And she's also scooting across the floor on her back. Lol She is a crazy baby. She's smiling so much and laughing a lot. She loves it when I sing to her and laughs when I sing her special song (one i made up). She loves to read. Elmo is her favorite book. She loves being outside, even though we're finding out that she probably has allergies. :( She is her daddy's little princess. She smiles so big when he walks in the room of even if he smiles at her. They are pretty good buds and I know she will have him reallly wrapped around her finger by the time she's 1!
So many things are running through my mind when I think about the journey that lead us to where we are now. Getting married, finding out we're pregnant 2 mnths later, being sick, gaining weight, waiting on the baby, having the baby, being blown away meeting my baby, recovering, watching her grow and now...she's 5 months old. I'm trying to soak every single moment up that I can. I know it goes by fast. So I just hold her sometimes and stare at her...because I know tomorrow she will be a little bit different. And then eventually she'll be all grown up and I'll look back and cherish all these moments. What a wonderful blessing it is to be the mommy of Kaiya. Gosh, I made myself cry! lol All you mommies reading this understand how I feel. Have a blessed day and remember to cherish the moments with your kiddos!

Fair Week

It's almost time for the fair to be over..just a couple more days.
Yesterday Kai was in the baby show. There were different age groups and she was in the 4-6 months one. There were 7 other babies in her group. She ended up getting second! She was being so cute the whole time..I honestly don't know how she didn't get first! But she was just being miss personality..she was smiling and talking and trying to play with the other little girls around her. It was so cute. It was cold out there that morning too so I'm glad she wasn't too cold to smile! So then later that night all the winners got to walk across the big stage for everyone to see...so Kai got $3 for her piggy bank and a Red Ribbon! It was a good day.

Today Andrew comes! I'm so excited to see him...and we're going to walk around the fair and eat cotton candy and ride the ferris wheel! yayy!! lol This week has gone by fast it seems like. I really miss Andrew and want to see him again but I don't want to leave my family! It's been so great being around all of them..I just feel more alive when I have my family around. But I'm going to have to get over that because we will probably be moving thousands of miles away next year. *Sigh* I just keep remindng myself that God's plans are better than mine.. :)

Well..I'm gonna go get ready to head to the fair this morning..Have a great day!!

Away from my hubby..

Hey! So this week is the Putnam Co Fair in Unionville, Mo. And most of you know that I'm selling Thirty-One Gifts and my mom is too! Anyway..we decided we would give a shot at selling stuff at the fair this week. We have a booth and everything and stuff to sell! I'm excited and I hope we get a lot of sales. Maybe we will even get new recruits!

This past weekend has been really good. We had my parents 25th wedding anniversary that went so well! It was a great surprise and niether of them saw it coming! There were a lot of ppl who showed up. It was fun. It was nice that Monday was Labor Day bc I got to spend more time with Andrew-since he didn't have to work. But the bad part is we will be apart all week! I was already missing him last night and he'd only been gone for like 5 hours or something. lol But this week will be nice to spend with all my family here since eventually we won't be so close to see them very often. So I'm just soaking it all in, enjoying every minute I can.

Kaiya is napping now - but earlier we went on a walk. She had on her new little adidas jumper..she's so cute! It was really windy so we came back to my grandmas and went to the swing set. She really liked swinging..she was so relaxed on my lap. i loved it! That's when I decided it was a good time to put her down for a nap.

I've got another 25 mins or so till my mom gets off work...then we will go set everything up for out booth. The fair started today. Hope everyone has a great Tuesday! God Bless..

Back Again

I'm back! The thing is...I love to write. What kept me from it last time was I just felt like I had to post every day or I felt like I had to keep up. But this time I don't want to feel that way. I'm going to post when I can or when I have something to say. No pressure! So hopefully all of you who kept up with me before will follow me again... :) Watch out blog world...here I come!
