Love bird necklace for your lil bird

What a sweet little love bird necklace...what mom wouldn't love
to get this from her children.
Get yours at cuteablity.

It's that kind of woman that...

-Boards a flight from India with 4 young children after loosing her husband
-Risking all she knows for a better life for her children
-Worked two jobs day and night to provide for her family
-Raised 4 happy, healthy, well rounded children
-Perseverance and dedication for her kids

She is....my mother in law...A TRUE woman that put her fears aside to do what was best for her family. Best of all she is....A MOTHER.
Motherhood is the most of everything all in one...a full time job. Every day defeating the impossible.

Have them close together

Right now I'm loving life with my little girl and it seems like I always get asked the question of when is the next one, which is a valid question...people are just curious. The truth....I am so not ready for another baby right now. There are times where I miss having a infant around but at the same time I am enjoying my little one and all of her milestones. There are so many wonderful stages as babies are growing but of course there are also some that you are happy to have outgrown.
She is becoming more independent now and I can see her little personality forming. She is expanding her vocab and even testing me to see what my boundaries are. It's actually pretty comical to watch. I can see why so many kids favorite word becomes "No!"
Ms. Adventerous can become a little too fascinated with the dangerous like that oh so entertaining light socket or trying to get out of her car seat.
I love how she mimics things she sees, starts running with joy for the bathtub if she hears the water running, says momma..dada...and nana, lights up when she hears kids
voices and the everyday smiles and laughs.
At this point in time I am all consumed in the light of my life and in the future look forward to
having a little brother or sister for her to fight with.

Soon to be Birthday Girl

Babies are so cute when they are discovering the world around them.
Nothing like holding a delicate beautiful flower for the first time.

You just have to let go

Since becoming a mom, there is so much to worry about and I'm trying to let go of things and realize that life is better when you just go with the flow. This also relates to the bumps and bruises of being a baby learning to walk. As she is exploring her new world and all the great places she can go, she gains a sense of independence and likes the way it feels.
Now that I am a mom I find myself looking back at so many situations from my childhood and things adults would say to me. Now I have become that annoying "adult"...I say things like, "Wow, I can't believe how big you are getting!" and "Be Careful." I hated, I mean hated when adults would say that to me. I would think to myself, "Duh, of course I'm getting older, that's what I do!" or "O.k. I will be careful just like always!" Children become a visible reminder of how fast life is going by and that life is not forever so we need to make sure to live it.

Summer

It's almost her first birthday and I am so excited for all her accomplishments so far. She amazes me every day and by the time my head hits that pillow each night I know I have enjoyed every moment with her. I know it's been a good day when my cheeks are aching with happiness....smiles represent the bliss I feel when I am with her. We are enjoying our summer together and loving every moment of it.

My little partner in crime!

I LOVE being a mother! It's the best thing
I have ever done in my life and it's so rewarding!
It doesn't hurt either when you have a sidekick like the
one I have. She is so much fun and we get to spend
so much quality time together, I feel like
the luckiest girl alive.
She even helps me clean house when I need
an extra hand and of course who doesn't need
extra help when it comes to cleaning?

Fun in the sun

The first time swimming was so great, she loved every minute
of it and we can't wait to take her back.

A great site if you are pregnant

When I was pregnant I remember using this site all the time because so many people want to ask how far along you are and I just couldn't remember. Most sites will tell you when you are due but this is one site I found that would tell you exactly how far along you were in weeks. It's not the fanciest site but it gets the job done.
