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, July 28th you discovered how to sit yourself up from laying down. I love watching you problem solve and discover new ways of getting what you want. You also pulled yourself up on August 3rd, and now never want to sit down. You have a pushing walker toy that you love to stand with, though you haven't figured out how to make it move yet. Daddy built you a pull up bar down stairs and you love to play with it! You're babbling constantly and always have a story to share. You are busy, constantly looking every which way and seeing what you can get into. I love seeing your world expand and grow!
























You played with your cousins for the first real time, though you have met them before when you were very first born! We celebrated your inside outside day this month, it is still so crazy to think I have loved you on the outside as long as I loved you inside. Tammy and Jade made the trip up to see you and spend some wonderful time with you, and you even had one special surprise visit from Aunt Katie. We flew home from Cincinnati this month and then were home for three of the four weeks, which was great for you to grow and learn in your own home. We went down to Albuquerque the last week prior to you turning nine months to handle a few things at the VA down there and you of course were loved on the entire time. You met your Great Grandma and Grandpa Heronimus and were able to spend much needed time with the rest of mama's family. You were even asked to be Aunt Becca's flower girl, fingers crossed you can figure it out! We love you angel girl and are beyond blessed to call you ours! 













Love always,

Momma

It's a Family Tradition

"Traditions are behaviors and actions that you engage in again and again – regular rituals that you perform at the same time and/or in the same way. Traditions can be big or small, but they differ from routines and habits in that they are done with a specific  purpose  in mind and require  thought  and  intentionality . Meg Cox, the author of  The Book of New Family Traditions , defines family ritual as “any activity you purposefully repeat together as a family that includes  heightened attentiveness  and  something extra that lifts it above the ordinary ruts .” Traditions, when done right, lend a certain magic, spirit, and texture to our everyday lives." Brett and Kate McKay As we approach the wonderful holiday season my heart begins to journey  back to childhood memories and the family traditions that make those memories so perfect. I come from a large family filled with lots of cousins, tons of laughter, and of course many tradit...

March 30th

The last two months of our lives have been a complete whirlwind of emotion, stress, and utter joy!  On March 19th we were able to endure our first IUI, where I laid very similar to Phoebe in Friend's and prayed with my husband that this would be our first and last IUI. We went in with hopeful heart's and praying minds, and knew the lord had a plan. The following weekend we went on vacation to San Diego where I unfortunately began  to believe that our IUI had not worked, and that we were not pregnant. I experienced cramps, was grumpy to my poor family, and walked around feeling like Shamu on the beach. So obviously I wasn't pregnant, right... Fast forward to March 30th, two days before I was technically supposed to test. It was a Wednesday night, a Wednesday night where I  obsessively thought about nothing else but that I wasn't pregnant. I did what any mildly obsessed woman going though infertily treatments would do, and tested. I jumped in the bath and pretended th...

Remembering November

Well, hello there November, and yes I am aware that it is November 3rd and well I should have written this three days ago, but anyway  November has always been one of my absolute favorite months, for well the obvious, Thanksgiving, fall decorations, and MY BIRTHDAY! Which is in two days, I'm like V for Vendetta REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER. All of these awesome things are reasons to absolutely adore November, however two years ago November also developed a very different feeling.  November 10th will mark the two year anniversary since Kaleb's accident. And though I will always love November I now have a heavy heart as we fast approach that day. It is as though every birthday will in some odd way be a reminder of my 21st which is what I was celebrating when I received the phone call that forever changed our lives. Every Thanksgiving as joyous and wonderful as it will be will also remind me of the saddes...
