Mia Jianna

Mia, my "Mimi" - is 7 months. Wow, 7 months, where did that time go? I swear I just had her. Goodness, I think with each child you have the time goes by faster :(. She was given to me to brighten my spirit. Mia and I are still learning each other, but goodness she has a laugh to her. I call her my jokester. She is always laughing at me, her sisters, anything SHE finds funny. She is the one I am always worried about, more then the other two. I wonder if it is from her birth experience? She is still not crawling (not complaining believe me), but last week she learned to bring herself to a stand (WHAT!!). Way to early, I tell ya. She loves to eat - be it the boob, cheerios, table food - she don't care as long as it goes in her mouth. I love to listen to her eat, she MMMMM's with each bite. I just wanted to touch up on the meaning of Mia's name, because I have been thinking about it lately. Mia Jianna means My God is gracious and I can definately 100% without a doubt tell you that MY God is gracious for giving me this spirited little girl!

I love her -(how much)- don't know I haven't found a how much that sticks to her yet, but very soon I am sure I can fill in the blank.

Bella Grace

Bella, my "Belle" - is 2 (well, technically 3 - only 2 more weeks till her birthday). My blessing in disguise. What a independent soul. I'm not sure there is a child out there that wants to do everything themselves as much as she does. She is such a neat freak, too. (Ok, Mommy rubbed off too much on her) She is the one that gives me my run for the money, maybe we are more alike then I think? She is so bright, and can light up a room with her smile (only when SHE wants to though). I'm not sure where she learns it from, because I admit after having her I didn't have as much time to spend with just her as I did with just Rose. She amazes me daily, goodness child, what do you have in that head - ALL BRAINS? She knows her full name, how to spell it, her phone number (WHAT?), shapes, colors, numbers, letters, how old she is, her birthday. Was it all those months of breastfeeding or all that avocado I fed ya?? lol One thing that she could live without - - - - TV!!! She loves to draw, color, write, paint - you name it - Artistic baby! Her favorite book right now is the Princess Bible, she sleeps with it every night.

I love her -(how much)- way behind my back!!

My girls.....

My girls....talking 'bout my girls.....

I need to post a bit about my girls. Why, because I could not imagine my life without them. Little bit of background here, but it took me 6 LONG years to have my first one - so of course they are the "light of my life".

Rose Marie

Rose, my "toad" - is 4 (shhhh don't tell her that - she will say she is going to be 5 really soon). I thank God for her everyday. She started it all. Sure she has an attitude already, but with a Mom like me how could she not. She shines, I tell ya. She excels at everything she does (even her temper tantrums). Give her a couple of trial runs and she is off on her own. I can't imagine where she gets her smarts from ;) lol. She is better at navigating the computer then my husband. She is learning to read, as we speak. She knows probably 20 words, and can read a few of her books, front to back. This is such an interesting time in my life - watching her bloom. She couldn't be more ready for kindergarten - she loves school. She is totally into Christian pop music as well. Sure she knows Hannah Montana and High School Musical, but she will pick My God is an Awesome God over any other song in the world. She has been attending Sunday school at St. Margarets for 2 years now and has formed some really close bonds to some fellow parishioners. I only wish I had that when I was a child.

I love her -(how much)- to infinity and beyond!!

Relaxation

There is something to be said when the only ounce of relaxation you get is during school and while sitting in a dentist chair.

Over this weekend, I got a toothache!! Ugh, ugh, UGH! A totally different side of my mouth then I was thinking would begin to ache. Flash to 6:45 p.m. sitting in a dentist chair getting a root canal - I've had enough of this already. Rose was sitting by my side, acting so big. I figure maybe if she sees what I am going through right now she will take better care of her teeth then I ever did.


School update:

Week 4 of the Semester this week - only 6 more weeks to go till the Semester ends. I got my test scores in A&P today - 41 out of 45 - not to shabby. So far all highest possible scores in Comp I - I hope it continues to go this well.

It's time!

What a great idea! How could I not join the bandwagon? Something to hand down to the girls, something to keep for myself to reflect on, something to add to my already crazy life. Whatever the case may be - I'm jumping on now and holding on for dear life.
