Happy Valentine's Day!


                                              Happy Valentines day all! 
I must say I have to blog today because I LOVE Valentines day! I used to hate it when I was younger and single and would refer to it as Singles Awareness day. But I love the idea of celebrating your love for another person. What a beautiful thing love is! 
I truly have the most amazing Valentine anyone could ever ask for. Bren is such a wonderful husband and father. And I am truly thankful to have him in my life! 


So lets all enjoy tonight! And celebrate that special person in our lives! So whether you're spending the evening with your significant other or your friends. Take the time to let them know that they are special in your life. 

I felt in honor of the day of love it would be fun post the history behind this special day
So there you have it!


 And of COURSE I have to post a cute picture of my beautiful princess in her Valentine's Day outfit! <3  
 Sorry for the terrible picture quality, I'll get some better pictures and post them later

More to come!

Yes yes I know, I didnt blog on Sunday... But thats because it was the superbowl... and well we weren't home. SOOO I was going to blog on Monday, but this week went by REALLY fast. Lots going on and not enough time to blog. BUT I figured, since Bren and I are going out of town this weekend ( so I wont be blogging tomorrow either) I figured I could handle a small minute to blog before I get back to packing.
Yes... I just said packing! Bren and I got our final approval on our home loan last night! That means we close on Wednesday, and have to be out of our townhouse by Friday. A lot ahead of us? I think yes! We are so excited! But I cant blog for very long... because I should be packing right now.

Update with the little miss Kalia! She rolled over from her tummy to her back for the first time yesterday! YAY! My little girl is growing up so fast! Oh how I love that baby!
Here are some cute pictures just to satisfy you... (if there really is anyone that reads this blog :)

Kalia finally likes her bumbo.... for short periods of time

Some Beach

Wait what is this? It's TUESDAY?? And the Blog is being updated? Unheard of!

Any who, I just felt a need to blog about my UNBEARABLE need for a tropical get away. AHHHH. Wouldn't it be nice just to get away for even a couple of days? 

Doesn't that just look divine?  I can almost  hear the waves crashing and feel the sun shining! ...
Who am I kidding? Although today was one of the warmer days, I'm still stuck in a frozen tundra!


 This is how I feel sometimes. Alas Summer is not too far off I guess.... right?


At least I have Bren and Kalia to keep me warm and cozy for the rest of the winter until then I will hum the words of Blake Shelton's Some Beach until I can get my wish.

Happy 3 months Kalia!!!


Yep, you guessed it! Kalia turned 3 months old yesterday!!

(not that it was a hard thing to guess or anything... since that is what the post title is...) 

3 months ago yesterday our beautiful little baby girl entered into this world and our lives couldn't be more blessed. She is such a sweet little girl and we love her so much! 

Every day my sweet little princess gets bigger and bigger, its not just the growth that amazes me. Not only is she shooting up like a bean stalk, but she is also growing intelligently, and advancing in her motor skills as well. My little three month old can already completely hold her head up on her own, and has been able to do so for quite a while now. She will probably be sitting on her own pretty soon here too, her back is getting stronger and stronger. Bren likes to practice sitting up with her, she can support herself for a couple of seconds before she topples and of course daddy is there to catch her. She does well in her Bumbo, but she isn't the biggest fan of it, after a few minutes of sitting in her bumbo she gets mad and wants to be held. She can grab and hold onto things all on her own now (yes this includes mommies hair), her two favorites are her little TY monkie beanie baby and her blanket Oma (my mom) made for her. 


Lets get back to her two FAVORITE things in the world (besides daddy and mommy of course)


1. Her blankie Oma made for her, its a cute fluffy and soft green blanket with white and brown polka dot trim my mom sewed on the edge (pictured below). She loves to grab onto it and snuggle it up to her face. It helps her go to sleep and is a constant companion in her car seat. 


2. Her TY monkey Beanie Baby. She just discovered it this week (with daddy's help. She adores this monkey, she loves its long arms and lets that are easy to grab on to and swing around, but it is also fuzzy and soft and she loves to cuddle it close when she is getting ready to fall asleep. 


Another thing little miss Kalia discovered this week is dancing. Oh how she loves to dance! She loves music and shaking her little bum. Its pretty fun to watch her and help her dance. I was listening to to What is Love (the cheesy 80's techno song) and she was bobbing her little head to the beat. VERY cute!!! 

I cannot go ANYWHERE with her, without someone (or everyone) stopping me and telling be how beautiful she is. People are ALWAYS ooglign over her BIG blue eyes and long thick dark brown hair. 


Now to the pictures!! Below is the most amazing, sweetest, cutest baby girl to have ever been born... (biased? Maybe, but then again maybe not ;)
 


 
Little Miss ready to go out.

 
MMM Paper! I ran to the bathroom for a quick moment, when I came out this is what i found. She had managed to grab one of dad's receipts and was munching away
