Happy Mother's Day

What a special Mother's Day! Lainey made me a flower pot, complete with flower at Mrs. Lisa's and daddy ordered me a special frame - such thoughtful special gifts!

I am such a proud mom and so blessed! If you could have asked me what I thought being a mom would feel like a few years ago, there is no way I could have adequately put into words the amazing, warm feeling that just comes over you. Motherhood is my peaceful place - that alone is the best Mother's Day gift I could have ever gotten.

Look!!!

Lainey got her first tooth! It finally popped through Saturday morning! What a fun Mother's Day present! The other bottom should come in by the end of the week! Our Lainey-bug is growing up so fast!

The Many Faces of Lainey

"I'm Sassy!"

"I can sit up and smile at the same time Mom!"

"Don't you just love my ducky outfit Grandma got me?"

"I love you too mommy..."


Lainey is such a little ham and really enjoyed posing for her audience at the Picture People this past Saturday. What fun day celebrating her 6 month milestone!

1/2 Way to a Year

My my Lainey Grace...6 months old already! You had your 6 month check up and here are your stats:

My sweet beautiful jabbering baby girl,

There is never a day that goes by that I don't thank the heavens above for giving me such a precious angel. You ALWAYS find a way to make us smile, always! It is the gift of who you are...our Lainey-bug. When the stress of the day is just too much, I find myself wanting to be near you...you make it better...you make me smile. Your cuddles in the morning, the incessant "Da-Da-Da" at the top of your lungs, the open-mouth-slobbery kisses you bestow upon my cheek, the way you laugh when we make faces at you, the simple fascination you find with the features of my face, the way you ride on top of daddy's shoulders and try to eat his hair, the way you almost crawl (master scooter at this point), and ALL the countless things you do that might seem simple and meaningless to everyone else are the most special and precious part of having you as our sweet baby.

Love you,
Mommy
