Ten Months




Hello My Tiny Best Friend, 

 Well here I sit looking back on month ten with you just two days prior to writing your eleven month post. Maybe its a form of denial, maybe we are just to busy all the time, or maybe mama just hasn't had those writing juices flowing in a while. No matter the reason I need to get these words down before they are lost down the rabbit hole and forever forgotten. 
This month we celebrated your monthly birthday in Albuquerque in the middle of our week long stay with GG so daddy could handle somethings at the VA. Our trip to Albuquerque seemed to gain excitement as soon as you turned ten months with our first visit to the ER after you knocked your head on GG's counter while taking a sink bath. You were fine, mama was not. Two weeks later we were back in the ER because you had a virus and needed an IV. Once again you took it like a champ, mama did not. I believe I cried equally as much as you did. My heart has never broken as much as it did that night watching you be poked and prodded, you are so little and everything they were using was so big.
The month continued and we traveled around, as always, and went up to Wyoming to see Uncle Tyler and Aunt Mickala and play with your cousins. Then came the big trip, you and mama set out on our own great adventure Ellie girl. We packed our backs and headed out to Memphis to visit Aunt Katie. It was so much fun to wonder around Memphis with two of my favorite people in one of my favorite cities. We went through Elvis's Graceland, a favorite of mama's and we saw the ducks at the Peabody. We ate great food and had lots and lots of laughs. It is a trip I will cherish forever. Though we had a blast, you were so happy to be home to daddy! 
Last month was big for mobility, this month was big for sound! You learned how to to pat your mouth and make noises come out which made me so happy! I have been trying to get you to play with me since you were born so this was big! You love to click your tongue and think it is just the best thing ever! You have figured out how to army crawl from the living room to the kitchen and spend most of your time trying to get into Chuck's water. You know how to pull yourself up in your crib, which makes getting you to nap a little difficult. You smile all the time and you have still yet to meet a stranger. Oh yeah, you spoke... You said Mama this month! 





 Eloise, you are our world.

 I'll love you forever, 

 Mama

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,...

Eleven Months

Hello Eloise Jeanne,  Can you believe it, you are eleven months old. This month was different than the others because I knew exactly what we were doing a year ago. I remember celebrating you with our church family back home, I remember making the long drive to Albuquerque for the Balloon Fiesta and celebrating you at Aunt Becca's shower. I remember feeling as though I couldn't get any bigger and then I did. I remember counting each of your kicks to make sure you were growing just right. You were my best friend long before I met you and you captured my wold long before the world greeted you.  This month you seemed to truly embrace that crazy toddler side and nothing can stop our speed crawler. You know exactly where the dog food is and love to play in Chuck's water, chuck does not find it quite as amusing. You are love to smile, you are constantly smiling and waving at anyone and everyone. You figured out how to wave, the sweet little precious wave whe...
