Recovering from this cold

So Kira is almost 7 months old and this is her first time being sick. I have to say she has handled it like a trooper. As a mom it's our job to think about everything and one of my concerns was keeping her healthy for as long as I could until she is at the age she can take medicine for it. Some people have been extremely careful around us and know that we have asked them to let us know if they are sick whereas some others have not been so understanding and it's like trying to beat a dead horse trying to get them to wash their hands or tell us they are sick. I think a lot of it has to do with how you are raised. I was raised to always wash my hands before I hold a new baby and others have no concept of this. Anyhow Kira finally caught this cold and is on the tail end of things, luckily, but it sure hasn't been a fun journey.
I give support to those moms that worry about these things too. Of course you can't prevent everything or stress yourself out but I feel like people should respect your decisions for your child. Some people are so resistant to listening to something that is different than what they believe is right.

Girly Mohawk

Our favorite hairstyle for Kira is her mohawk. I think some people think this is only appropriate for little boys but we just love it on her.

Music for your baby

Baby Kira just loves music and we love to dance for her. I look forward to seeing her dance for the first time on her own, it will be so much fun. We always try and expose her to different types of music and I think she has her favorites too. As soon as the music comes on and Daddy and I start dancing her face just lights up. It's really fun to watch. I remember when we brought her home from her doctors appointment for her 2 month shots. She was so upset crying and screaming. We tried everything we could to calm her down, once we turned on the radio she found a peace within herself. There is something so powerful about music, it has the power to intensify wonderful feelings, sculpt memories, and get people through the bad times. Check out our sample list below with a little mix of everything.

Here's a few of our favorites from our playlist:
1.) Everybody Knows - John Legend
2.) Happy - Leona Lewis
3.) That's the way it is - Celine Dion
4.) I want to know what love is - Mariah Carey
5.) Time to Say Goodbye - Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman
6.) Krazy - Pitbull
7.) Hustlers Anthem 09 - Busta Rhymes
8.) Jai' Ho - Pussycat Dolls
9.) Watcha Think about that - Pussycat Dolls
10.) Step Up - Samantha Jade

Bouncy sleepin' in my chair.

I am living my dream being a mommy

As far back as I can remember I have dreamed of becoming a mommy and now I can proudly say that I am on cloud 9 living that dream. As a little girl people always asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. The funny thing is when you are little, you tend to change your mind all the time and come up with new occupations and dreams. Ever since I was young I have always thought that I wanted to be a mommy. I can proudly say that I have never changed my answer. Every fiber in my body told me that it was my destiny. I am so honored to be here at this time in my life, although I thought it would never come because it seemed like my dream was an eternity away. Sometimes I still have to pinch myself because I can't believe my fairytale has come true. I made it to the top, I am a MoMmY!

Daddy Daycare in action

A day with daddy is lots of fun....

We take lots of pictures together and share special times together...

then we fall asleep reading Daddy's financial magazines.

Two beautiful babies hugging

I came across this photographer, such darling pictures by peekaboo photography.

Let it be known...It's just the way it is

Being the mommy, I also play the role of the worrier. My mind is constantly thinking
of everything surrounding my baby girl. There's the...did she get enough to eat, did
she sleep enough, and does her diaper bag have everything in it? That's not even the
end of it. Of course her daddy is so relaxed about everything, and I do mean everything! He for the most part has no worries. He always responds to my constant questions and concerns with, "She's fine, if she isn't then she will let us know when she cries." Above is Daddy at a car show busy talking to the guys...I can't even tell you how many times she had that hoodie covering her eyes. It's hilarious to see the difference between mother and father. I suppose we even each other out.

Four and a half months old

Although it seems like i just had her she is already four and a half months old,
where does the time go? I can't believe how fast she is growing and it's so great
because she is starting to get her own little personality. I love to watch all the
changes she is going through.
