Seven Months









My Sweet Maggoo, 
How is it that we are on the backside of your first year? It seems like yesterday we were sitting in anticipation of meeting your tiny little soul and yet here we are seven months in. I think back to the day you were born after  days of labor and how though we were exhausted we could not sleep. I didn't want to close my eyes for a second in fear of missing something you would do. I could stare at you in awe that thing I prayed so desperately for was laying on my chest in the shape of the most perfect little girl. Seven months later I still hold you on my chest or sit and watch you sleep in awe that you are real. It is as though I am living in a dream where all my hopes and prayers have come true. Seeing you discover new things, accomplish milestones, and become you is just perfect. You have the best little personality and this month it has began to shine through. You are no longer my sweet tiny cuddly baby, but this little baby who is ready to go! You want to do things, reach things, accomplish things. You are strong willed and my little Maggoo you are going to accomplish such wonderful things. 




Month seven was again a busy month but a month filled with so many fun moments! We introduced you to eating and you love food. Every bite you take whether you like it or not you smile. I think my favorite moments when you are eating is when you do not like something, you are so sweet and try so hard to force a smile and eventually learn to enjoy it; except squash, you do not enjoy squash. You also mastered sitting! You are so proud every time I prop you up and never want to lay back down. You try to scoot yourself forward, but have not yet figured that out. You love to call Chuck by hitting your leg and looking at him, he hasn't figured out that you are calling him but I am sure that day will come. You haven't learned how to crawl yet but you have learned to roll yourself to whatever you want, which makes leaving you on your tummy time mat difficult. It is a matter of time until you are on the go, so for now I will enjoy the little rolls and the smily little girl I have. 



We celebrated your and Daddy's first father's day this month and it was perfect. As I excited I was to be your mom I could not wait to see your dad  be your daddy. He loved you so much when you were in my tummy and you  had him wrapped around his finger from the day you entered the world. You are his pride and joy and he is your best friend, watching your relationship develop and grow has been such a treat for me. Being able to celebrate him this month was so perfect and we celebrated in the most perfect way.We went up to Wyoming to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa and drive those beautiful Wyoming mountains, it was wonderful. 






As list of first go we hit a few more. We went to the zoo for the first time, you slept through it. You went to your first Colorado Rapids game, you ate a yellow card. You went to your first national park as we drove through the Rocky Mountain National Park, you slept. We celebrated our first anniversary with you, now that was a treat! We took your six month photos, which mommy is absolutely captivated by.












 Every month is filled with such wonderful memories and we have you to thank! You have made us slow down and enjoy the time we have together, because time is moving way to fast! 

 I love you my sweet Maggoo!

To Everything There Is A Season

Top 10 Tips for Flying with an Infant

Last week we spent the entire week in Cincinnati for the national veterans wheelchair games, which was probably one of the most incredible experiences of my life, but we will save that for a different post. We met great people, had wonderful conversation, and took our sweet girl on her first airplane ride. Being the crazy mom that I am, I stressed about the plane ride for far to long and made way to many mental notes on how to survive it. I asked everyone who had ever flown with a child what to do and received some great advice. My goal is to break it down into the top 10 things you "need" in order to survive flying with a baby! 1. Plastic Bags are Your Friend Prior to heading out to the airport I separated Ellie's diaper back with gallon size baggies. I had all her diapers and wipes packed in one, toys in another, and food in it's own. It made fast diaper changes before take off a breeze, as well as finding snacks in the air. Everything had its place an...

Nine Months

        My Sweet Eloise Jeanne, Month nine has come and gone and mama has been the worst at putting this together. Has with every month this one has been equally busy and equally different. I find myself smelling your sweet baby scent as it becomes fainter. I hold you nightly after you have fallen asleep staring at your sweet tiny face. This month I feel that we said goodbye to my baby baby and began welcoming our soon to be toddler. Your personality has come out in force, you know what you want and will do whatever it takes to get it. You are determined and strong willed, both qualities that I know will take you far in the future. I miss my baby baby but love playing with my new toddler girl. This month was a huge month for mobility. We went from not really being able to move at all to moving constantly. On July 25th you began trying to army crawl and can successfully get yourself from one place to another. On Friday,...
