Feels Like Home

Well, here I am working into the wee hours of the morning, listening to music, and mine and Scott's song comes on. It got me to thinking....and even crying. I feel like I often take my husband for granted and this song just brought back the reasons why I fell in love with him in the first place. Scott came into my life at a time when I most desperately needed someone. Funny how that works, isn't it? Something tragic in my life had just happened and I honestly felt like my life was over. I said goodbye to the happy, go-lucky girl that I once was and there he was to make me smile again and laugh again and even be myself again. I know everyone says this about their significant other, but I truly mean it when I say that Scott is my best friend and he has been for a very long time. I feel immeasurably blessed that he was there to put me back together again and that I am married to him. So honey, when you read this, know that I love you. Just thought I'd let you know. :)

My Very First Mother's Day

Well, it was the first Mother's Day when I was actually a mother (technically I was pregnant last Mother's Day but I didn't know it yet) and I must say I quite enjoyed it (minus the gloomy, wet weather). Scott got me an Ann Taylor Loft & iTunes gift card. And Alice got me Mario Kart for Wii and a cute little outfit for her. Scott's family even got me a gift card to Megaplex Theaters. It was sad that I couldn't see my mom because she was out of town, but otherwise it was great. I took some last-minute pictures at the end of the day because I forgot earlier!

Alice Lately

Some of Alice's favorites lately:

*unfortunately, watching TV

*taking baths (sometimes it's the only thing that can calm her down)

*playing with her "lamby"

*crying & "talking"
*eating, eating, eating

*getting her diaper changed(it never fails to make her smile)

*sleeping in her swing (unfortunately she likes her swing better than her crib)
*watching her hands and grabbing her feet
*pulling hair
*giggling when her daddy tickles her
*arching her back & scooting (she almost scooted right off of her swing the other day)

And now for the dislikes:
*sleeping (she has gotten a lot better since she got her PICC line out, though)
*tummy time (Want her to scream? Just put her on her tummy.)
*getting dressed
*getting boogies suctioned out of her nose
*lately, her binky
*wearing headbands (I still put them on her, though)
*getting in her carseat
