7 months!!??

I swear it seems likes just yesterday I was flipping out about babygirl being 6 months old...then I blinked and another month went by. It is amazing to see my child grow and learn new things everyday.

She ate puffs for the first time this week and boy does she love them! She would sit there and eat them all day long if I would feed them to her. I don't have a little baby anymore!! She is now in the big baby category. =(

To me, little babys are the newborn to 6 months. Their big milestones are holding their head up, smiling, sitting up by themselves. Now we get passed the 7 month mark and we have even BIGGER milestones! We want babies to say their first word, learn to crawl, take their first steps. I am so excited to see my babygirl reaching these 'big girl' milestones, yet I miss the beginning. I miss the new baby smell, the naps on my chest, her sleeping crooked in my arm.

I'm not gonna lie though. She sleeps amazing now. I definitely don't miss waking up every 2 hours. =)

A day for the books.

A spiritual birthday.

My baby brother got the Holy Ghost and was baptized in Jesus name tonight.

This has been a long-awaited answer to prayer.

God is SO good.

He is RISEN!

Easter takes on a whole new meaning this year. As a mother, it's hard to imagine seeing through Mary's eyes. I'm beyond grateful for the ultimate sacrifice that was made.. just for me.

Here's a few photos of my girl's first Easter =)

Excited for her goodies from the Easter bunny

Friends at church

All used up..

I feel used. Left out in the dark. Taken advantage of. This wasn't supposed to be like this. I'm not supposed to be dropped when you're finished with me, when you think you've gotten all that you could out of me.

I thought this was different.
Why is it my downfall that I'm so reliable?

I can only be burned so many times before I cut ties. And we're close. Just thought you should know.
It probably won't matter anyway. You've gotten what you needed from me, haven't you?

in hubby's arms...

Holy moley! I am SUCH a slacker! I hate that I can never force myself to sit down and blog anymore. I don't feel the stress of having to blog every day, so I can't make myself just write anymore!
Writing has always been a release for me. It is very soothing at the end of a rough day to come home, write out all your feelings, frustrations and problems on a sheet of paper. Once you see those mountain size problems written on a sheet of paper... somehow they just don't seemhey that big anymore.

Hubby has been amazing. I came home from work yesterday and collapsed into his arms, a huge crying mess. He started to ask me what was wrong, I shushed him and so he just held me. For a good five minutes or so. Then somehow, everything was better. I felt a little more together and not so stressed.

I felt strength, I felt safe. I love moments like that. They're pretty rare.
