She Just Keeps On Growing!

This little girl won't stop growing!...and I love it!
 Azuree is now eating Ritz and graham crackers...
 And she loves Mickey Mouse Club House! It is so hilarious how mesmerized she gets whenever it's on!
She is so good when Mommy want's to take some cute pics of her :)
The other day it snowed during the night and when Kiley came home from work that morning (he's now working the grave shift at the Abby Inn) he took Azuree right outside in her PJ's to introduce her to the snow! I think she loved it :)
 She wasn't quite sure what to think about eating the snow tho...
Oh! I just love that smile!
Azuree is pulling herself up and standing now! Kiley and I have a bet going about when she will start walking. My day was March 26th and Kiley's is...sometime in April :) But I'm thinking I might have been a little excited when I guessed that date...but who knows, at the rate she's going she could be walking in a week! I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
 Azuree loves bathtime!
Our little multi-tasker: drinking a bottle and playing with a beach ball at the same time!
 Azuree is no longer eating in the Bumbo. She is now a big girl and get's to eat in her big girl high chair! (Look at that big cheeser!...it's almost a scary smile ha ha)
 I just love this little girl :)
Oh and btw, I got my hair cut...SHORT! Yes, it is pretty darn short! And it was very scary to get done, just in case you wanted to know. I wasn't quite sure what to think of it at first but now I am really loving it. Anyways, have a good one!

In Love

I am SO in love with these two!
I was just thinking today about how blessed I am and about how much my life has changed in the past two years. A little over two years ago I met the love of my life, Kiley. Of course, at the time, I had no idea he was the love of my life! However, with Kiley being the man that he is, I quickly fell in love for the first time and, well... I soon fell in love for the second time with my beautiful baby, Azuree. :) People say that you only fall in love once in a lifetime, but I have been lucky enough to fall in love twice in two years! But I think the thing that makes me the most happy is the fact that I know that I can be with them forever. Knowing that makes it all worth it. I just finished class for the day and am sitting here in my living room, surrounded by baby toys, the baby's playing with everything but the toys, my husband is downstairs sleeping after a long nights work, and I am just loving life. :) Family is what life is all about. There's a quote I recently read that describes perfectly how I've been feeling and I'd like to share it with you...

"Brethren and sisters, material possessions and honors of the world do not endure. But your union as wife, husband, and family can. The only duration of family life that satisfies the loftiest longings of the human soul is forever. No sacrifice is too great to have the blessings of an eternal marriage. To qualify, one needs only to deny oneself of ungodliness and honor the ordinances of the temple. By making and keeping sacred temple covenants, we evidence our love for God, for our companion, and our real regard for our posterity—even those yet unborn. Our family is the focus of our greatest work and joy in this life." Russell M. Nelson

"No sacrifice is too great." Ya know, sometimes I get frustrated or overwhelmed with being a new mom (and also a new wife ha ha) but all I have to do is see Azuree's cute, little gummy smile or get a kiss from my wonderful hubby and I am reminded of why I wanted to get married and have kids in the first place. "Our family is the focus of our greatest work and joy in this life." Family is the center of our greatest work: like it said, it's going to be a lot of work! Family is the center of our greatest joy: but there is nothing in this world that can compare to the joy of being part of a family! Having a family and kids is hard at times, but not having them would be harder. Anyways, I have been feeling so strongly about this lately that I just had to share. I hope you all have a fantastic day!
