some pics from poundcake's first swim

excited for her first day at the pool.
way into the water.
let me go explore mom and dad.

my current favorite picture of miss poundcake. ain't she a doll!

take the picture so i can get back to doing my own thing please.

just resting my eyes.

never felt so relaxed. check me out.

i would have slept longer if that boy hadn't splashed me.

underwater face of me and mom. (below)

hey dad, i'm trying to stay awake. just chillaxin' with mom.

she ended up snoozing under the canopy in dad's arms for an hour and a half before we left.

So here is the skinny...

I will be honest, I have not been too into blogging lately, but feel like I must seeing as this is sorta a journal for me.
So let's see...
Poundcake has two new teeth... and a second ear infection. Boo.
The Hubby doesn't have school this summer but is working a lot of late nights and I miss him.
I need a good book to read but haven't come across anything that excites me.
I am obsessed with the blog Under the Sycamore.
Tonight we went to see my bro, brad pitt play one of his final baseball games. When he didn't know we were there he hit a triple. After he realized we showed up he strikes out. Twice. Am I bad luck? Sometimes when it comes to watching sports I think I might be.
I really want to see the new Harry Potter movie... And the new Winnie the Pooh movie.
Poundcake started crawling everywhere last week. She is an active baby.
Also her favorite food is paper. No joke. Paper. PAPER!
Ray Charles reminds me of the Hubby and makes me smile. Spent last night dancing around to Ray with poundcake while the Hubby flipped burgers on the grill.


It's late and my girl is asleep on my lap. Pure bliss. She is my favorite. Ever.

And the Hubby is the love of my life. Although his new favorite thing is to try to scare me half to death. Love you stinker!

Hubby's 1st Father's Day

My husband and daughters bond makes my heart swell. They are so cute together. Just look at them playing together. He can always bring a smile to her face and she has defiantly stolen his heart.

I love you honey.
You are an amazing husband and father.

the poundcake and the pea

remember how poundcake used to sleep through the night.
well I remember... and I miss it.

it's not really her fault.

the past month has been plagued by a cold, ear infection, teething and two midnight runs to the hospital. luckily those midnight runs were not because of something wrong with my beautiful girl.

but all of this has me a little concerned. will her schedule ever get back to what it was before or is this becoming her new schedule? because after all most babies are habits of their routine. and is this really her new routine?

I kind of hope not.

but hey I really shouldn't complain too much since my baby is amazingly happy most of the time.

plus this is pay back for me never sleeping as a baby.
already taking after her mommy.

random late night post

I am so very blessed to have my family of four. Hubby, poundcake and jp are irreplaceable and I love each of them dearly. Simple but true. That's all peeps.
