Finally...

We have the self-take thing down!!!I can say I finally FEEL like a mom. Its been a VERY hard time for me lately because I just haven't felt like I was 100% bonded with Josie. I always just kinda felt like her "caregiver" and not her "mommy". Well I can say having her get her shots on Monday did it for me. She SCREAMED so hard and I got all teared up and just scooped her up and hugged her and it hit me... this is it.
This is MY daughter.
I AM her mom!


I can't believe how big she is getting already. She LOVES to "talk" to you. Even Bev said she can't believe how vocal she is already. She coo's and half laughs (she has the 'ack' sound down but can't seem to bust out an entire laugh) and loves to talk to you or her mobile or her teddy bear.

We are going to have to stop wrapping her up to sleep at night soon and I'm not looking forward to that since we are officially STTN (knock on wood) usually 8 or 9 pm until 7 or 8 am. Her naps are still not great but hey I guess its either one of the other.
We did however nap together and this is what I woke up to; Derek had taken a photo on my phone and laid it next to me... soo cute. Yes, I ALWAYS sleep with my mouth open. Yep I look awful but hey I'm working on that!
I have to hurry up and throw the dishes in the dishwasher before Derek gets home from hockey so we can give her a bath before her bedtime tonight. I need to do a bunch of other junk too but I probably won't =P

  2. We're such lamewads for not having met the baby yet. Maybe in the spring you can get her hooked on hockey ;)
