Beautiful Boy

Bridger is now 4 months old and I wanted to post a few updated pictures of him that I took about a month ago. He is the sweetest little guy. I have a really hard time not wanting to kiss his face off every day. He has the most beautiful eyes and smile. Maya adores him and she is such a great helper. She is going to be his second mother that is for sure.
Bridgey smiles all of the time, especially when someone is giving him some attention. He giggles when he is being tickled. He is REALLY ticklish. He only really cries when he is tired or hungry. He is a good eater and a really good sleeper, especially at night. He truly is another love of my life and I think I am the luckiest lady alive.

He's Here!

I know, I know....this is a little on the late side but I have a few minutes today and so I am catching up on my blogging.

My Angel Baby Girl

My Dear Sweet Maya,

For my 28th birthday, your daddy surprised me and took me to do an early ultrasound to find out if you were a boy or a girl. When we found out you were a girl, we were so excited. We couldn't believe that we could be so lucky.
Now even 5 years later, every morning when you wake up and I see your beautiful little face, I feel so much gratitude to my Heavenly Father for giving me the most precious and wonderful gift, being your mother. You have so many qualities that I love and adore. You are so giving, you are sweet, you are loving, you are sensitive, you are creative, you are happy, you are a wonderful helper, you are sympathetic, you are cautious, you are honest, you are affectionate, you are strong, you are smart, you are funny, you are lovely, but most importantly, you are my precious little girl, I love you and I am so proud of you.

Happy Birthday my dear sweet little lovebug. I love you with all of my heart.

Love,

Your Mom

Maya's Christmas Pictures

I got ambitious and took Maya's Christmas pictures one afternoon. It was snowing and I was still in my pajamas from the night before. She was quite the model and I was on the freezing cold ground trying to get some cute snapshots of my little girl. We had a blast. She was a great sport and I love the way they turned out. I hope that you all had a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We love all of you and are so grateful that you are in our lives!
