9 Months Sure Have Flown By

Wow. You are 9 months today.

And it's been the best 9 months of my life. I know I repeat myself each month on your birthday, but I am so thankful to be blessed with such an amazing daughter.

You give the best kisses in the world. You give the strongest hugs I have ever felt. Your laugh is so contagious I cannot help to laugh along withyou. The sparkle in your eyes is so beautiful. Your skin is so soft. Your voice is the sweetest voice in the world.

Happy 9 months to an amazing little girl, my daughter. I love you sweetheart and I am so proud of all of the big accomplishments and milestones you have hit. I know our life journey is going to be an amazing one.

All my love,
Mommy

I Simply Remember My Favorite Things...

Today I have decided to list 50 things about me. I have no real reason on wanting to do this, with the exception of I am drawing a blank on what to blog about tonight. I'm tired and missing my bed/house (we're in Houston), so I thought remembering a few of my favorites will make me cheer up. So here we go...hold on tight!

1. My family means the world to me

2. I LOVE Diet Coke...some may call it an addiction

3. My favorite drink at Starbucks is a Caramel Macchiato--iced, non-fat

4. I have naturally wavy, out of control hair--a lot of time is spent to have it straight

5. I love crafts--stamping, scrapbooking, bow making--you name it I love it

6. My favorite sound is when Bella is laughing hysterically

7. I love sushi

8. I hate lima beans

9. I love cats

10. My favorite movie is Sixteen Candles

Okay, that's it for now. I feel as if ya'll know me already

***edited to add*** I must have been really tired when I posted...I just realized I said 50 and only listed 19?! Eek!! Let's leave this as a "To be continued" type of post, shall we?
