scarlett's first thanksgiving was spent in iowa with [some of] alex's part of our family!
i love this family that has become my own, so much.
they are each such a blessing and i am so grateful for each and everyone of them.

  happy first thanksgiving babygirl.

Scarlett is 3 months old today...

: )

she is beautiful and funny and happy and loved.

little miss thing weighs 15 lbs 13 oz...she's still a chunk as you will see :)
she's always trying to pull herself up and when she grabs my fingers and i help pull her up
she gets so happy and looks so proud of herself! she's hilarious. she has gotten so loud recently...she squeaks and squeals and makes all kinds of adorable sounds. she has also found her thumb just in the last week. i knew that was coming. definitely prefers that to her soothie (aka passy). she is still sleeping fantastically! always at least a good straight 8 hours-then i'll nurse her and she goes right back down for a couple more. God must love me ;)
we just got our tree up and decorated a few days ago and i think she could stare at the lights and ornaments all day long. i think she loves christmas just as much as her momma already :)

love this girl so much.

 

                                                 bahahaha love her.

                                         

home.

so.

because of such sweet blessings from sweet Jesus, two incredibly caring, loving families...

i get to stay home with my sweet, SWEET babygirl! :)
(sweet seems to be the word of the day)

i am so grateful that i am able to do this...
at this point in our lives, while alex is still in school-i didn't think it would be possible.
we are deeply loved.

my heart is too full for words. so here are lots of pictures :)



                         we are constantly asked how our dog is with scarlett....this is pretty much it :)

                                                            we love bath time!

"watching" the bears game

helping momma with laundry

haha she trys to suck on anything she can

she loves to stand, with a little help of course :)

so today marks my first day as a stay at home mom :)
