6 Months!

Our little girl is 6 months old! I absolutely can not believe how time flies! She is doing absolutely amazing so far. So far she is doing everything she is supposed to. It makes my heart warm and fuzzy to see the delight in her eyes each time she discovers something new.
The things she thinks are the coolest right now are:
- Tummy Time! She could lay there for hours (well not hours) just looking around. When she's on her tummy she is able to see everything that's going on. When Michael and I lay on our tummies beside her, and play with her now that she thinks is the coolest yet!
-Her swing, absolutely loves relaxing in the swing to watch her shows. I always put Little Bear and Franklin on for her.
-Sweet Potatoes, the biggest mess ever but faces and hands can always be washed, she loves her sweet potatoes. Its so much fun seeing her discover food.
-Talks constantly, Im surprised she can keep going as long as she does without running out of breath.
-Toys, absolutely loves playing with all her toys, her favorites right now are her dolls and her owl quiet book. Each time I go get groceries, I cant help myself but buy her a toy, hey its a treat for her being so good while getting groceries! :) Besides children don't stay young forever!
-Baths, she splashes now and tries to get her toys that swim around in the water, cutes thing ever!

We are so incredibly proud of our princess! Her daddy calls her tootsie, she adores him just as much as he adores her. Everyday makes me so proud that I can call him my husband and she can call him her daddy!

To think of everything she went through at birth and how tiny she was brings tears to my eyes. She has come so far in her life already.

Tiny little legs!

What she has been up to these past months.

This monkey is her favorite, always with her in the car.

Landry's first play date, she slept through it though.

Landry's first Christmas!

Daddy had to help her open her first present.

First time at Cabelas.

And some of Landry today

All Princess.

We are enjoying her so much, such a bundle of fun and joy. I look forward to her many other firsts. We think she will be sitting on her own before long too. Her 6 month has so many things in store for her, her first roadtrip and first beach trip! We are so excited for her and for us to have a little getaway!

Happy 6 Months Princess, Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!

BLESSED!

I didn't know what to title this post other than BLESSED! That is exactly how Ive been feeling lately! We are so blessed to have the life we do, especially having the daughter we do. Landry is such a little bundle of love and happiness! I feel she has shown me how to love all over again! This is not at all how we expected everything to go, but we wouldn't trade anything. Each and everyday I am reminded how lucky we are, she has been a healthy little girl and our prayer is that she will keep being healthy. She has been gaining like crazy, at the last Doctors appointment she weighed almost 13 lbs! I was looking through some of her Preemie clothes and I had to share. I could just kick myself that we didn't take a picture of her laying beside something to show how tiny she actually was, pictures don't do justice! I can remember the first day we put her in little preemie clothes so clearly, they were too big. Blessings to all!

Typical Landry!

We love chewing our fingers almost more than playing with our toys!

This makes my heart melt! He is the best daddy!

MY favorite thing is Kisses!

Back to a Routine.

The Holidays are over, and we have been enjoying our little bundle to the fullest! She is not so little anymore. She has been growing out of all her clothes, makes me sad but also so happy she is growing!. She has taught us so much already in these last 4 months, and we are enjoying every minute of it! She is such a happy little girl, full of smiles and lots of love! We would not trade her for anything in the world! I have been off work since she was born but next week I go back, I was privileged to have off and spend so much time with her. Its bittersweet, I am ready to go back to work but I will definitely miss her! I know she will be well taken care of with both the grandmas! :) Plus I think we are all ready for a routine.
We were able to move into our house just a couple weeks before tootsie was born and have everything painted and done. Michael and I both enjoy redoing the house, its far from done but I wanted to share before and after pictures.
