Four Months












My Sweet Eloise Jeanne, 

You are becoming less and less little baby and more and more little girl. Your eyes show so much emotion, they smile long before your mouth does. You take the world in, observing everything that goes on around you. I want to so badly keep you in this home sheltered from the great big world, but I know that someday you will be on your own figuring things out as you go. So for now I will cuddle you, love on you, and pray over you. You are everything imagined you would be and so much more. It has only been four months with you, and yet I feel like you have been with me forever. I love every second with you; even the moments that I am knee deep in a blow out or covered in your spit up because I know they are moments that will go by to fast. 



You are a busy little girl and month four was no different! GG came to visit and so did grandma and grandpa, they all love watching you grow and learn! You love being cuddled by GG and read to by grandma and grandpa. We went to Albuquerque to visit Yaya and Papa and celebrate Brandee's birthday. You do great in the car for six hours, that seventh hour is pushing it. While in Albuquerque you met so many more family members that love you and loved meeting you! Both your Mom and Dad come from large families and introducing you to them and watching you make memories with them is one of my favorite things. You have Yaya and papa's hearts in your hand and you love being with them, which sometimes makes the distance a little hard. You went to mom's church for the first time and met so many of the women who have guided and shaped mom into the woman she is today. You even let a few of them hold you, which these days is a rarity. It was wonderful being in Albuquerque with you little lady, I have a feeling you are going to enjoy it. You turned 100 days old, it is hard to believe that we have already had 100 wake ups with you. You celebrated your first St. Patrick's Day, which you of course wore green for, mom and dad snuck away to see Beaty and the Beast! 

You learned what your fingers are this month and now they rarely leave your mouth. You have yet to actually laugh, but you love to squeal which is just as wonderful. You hate tummy time but you enjoy playing on your back and reaching for your toys. You have become quite bashful, and cuddle your head into momma's chest anytime anyone acknowledges you. You love being read to, sometimes a good story time is all you need to calm down. You hold your head up so well and love sit and stand as well. You still love to be cuddled and swaddled to sleep, speaking of sleep you slept through the night on Sunday March 12th! Momma is very happy about that!!! You are finally growing into 0 to 3 month clothing, and recently moved up to size one diapers. You are just a sweet little girl. Lastly on your 4 month birthday YOU ROLLED OVER! You are an incredibly sweet and gentle baby, I love watching you learn!

Learning Curve

As I sit here this morning trying to put all the words that are in my head onto this paper I am having a hard time coming up with the right way to describe what I am hoping to change/do with this blog in this new season of my life. See writing has always been a passion of mine , but finding the time , finding the bravery , and just doing it is where I have struggled. I have kept this blog as more of a personal place where I write about what life is like as a Wilson here on Dusk Way , but over the years I have had dreams of making it into more of a lifestyle blog . I have so many passions and thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis but fear has held me back time and time again. Fear of not being a successful blogger , fear of what friends and family would think , and most of all fear of letting myself down . But now it is time to put that fear aside and just write, so hopefully this blog will be going through a learning curve . Ideally this blog will move from...

My Side Of That Horrific Day

Today is September 1st which in it of itself brings so many wonderful things. The start of football, which is just absolutely perfect, the start of pumpkin spice everything, and the start of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness month. This month is something that honestly up until four years ago I had no idea existed, but four years ago we joined a very rare club and our lives have looked different since. Over 200,000 people live with a SCI in the United States and Kaleb is just one of them. The next month my goal is to share my side of Kaleb's injury, Kaleb's side of his injury, the road to recovery, and where we are today.  November 10th 2012, the day our world changed forever. This was one of those days that I will remember every moment, every detail, and every emotion. I had just turned 21 five days prior and was still living in the birthday celebration glow. That morning was busy with trying to get things done through out the day so that I could head to a family member's ho...

It's Okay to Not Be Okay

How often do we go through life pretending that everything is great; we post only the best photos, we smile when we would rather cry, and we float through life faking it the best we can. We run into friends at church on Sunday mornings and chat about how wonderful we are and how great everything is, but we leave out the fact that all we could really use is a hug and a gentle reminder that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. In fact the crazy part of it all is it's perfectly normal to go through life with emotions, heck Jesus himself felt emotions. I'm sure we all remember when he got mad in the temple and flipped the table, well in that moment he wasn't okay. As a new mom still adjusting to this wonderful world of motherhood I find myself not okay pretty often. I'm either exhausted because the baby didn't sleep or because the baby nursed all day, or I'm feeling a little lost trying to rediscover my role as Brittany, or I'm just a little anxious becaus...
