Star Spangled Cutie

I'm pretty sure every single blog post I create is going to start with "I can't believe how fast time is going!"  I had no idea that the last time I created a entry was almost 3 weeks ago!  As I grabbed my camera to look at the pictures I wanted to upload I couldn't believe how different my sweet little girl looks already!  She is such a sweet baby and is getting so smiley.  Almost every time Billy or I talk to her she gets a HUGE smile on her face.  I can't even began to describe the feeling it is to look into your little girls eyes and feel such unimaginable joy and love for someone.

We love when cousins and family come over to visit!

I love my Auntie

Hanging out with great-grandma!

When it was time to take our One Month pictures we had a little bit of an attitude.  I kept meaning to retake them but it's almost time to take month two pictures so these are what we get to live with!

 We tried…I guess that's all that matters.  Thanks for my Dumbo Auntie Em and my monthly stickers Grandma!

This past weekend was our very first Holiday as a little family!  Minus Memorial Day but Halle was only about a week old so I'm not counting that one.  We had such a great day.  I bought Halle's outfit about 3 months before she was born thinking she was going to be a chunky monkey but this little girl is long and lean.  Today is the first day her newborn clothes have started to get tight at 8 weeks!  (Yes I cried when I realized this was her last day wearing them)  Anyways I had to shrink them down in hot water and we of course wore matching bows!  We BBQ'd and watched fireworks…all in all it was a perfect day!

Billy went back to work on Monday.  I really thought we were going to miss him as much as we do!  Halle gets the biggest sweetest smile when he comes home everyday.  I'm pretty sure she counts the hours until we get to see him each day!  We've started going to the concerts in the park with my mom most weeks and Halle really loves them.  She usually kicks her feet and moves her hands to the music!

Halle (mom) LOVES BOWS!

 We're not co-sleepers mostly because I'm way to scared.  Halle sleeps in a bassinet next to the bed and is great sleeper she sleeps almost every night from 9:30 pm to 5:00am I'll feed and change her (dad helps too!) and then she sleeps again until around 7:30.  I'm praying this is not just a phase!!

I set her down the other morning and thought this was so cute!  She looks so much like Billy sometimes!

 Sitting here writing all of this right now and listening for my sweet girl on the monitor really makes me realize how blessed I really am.  I can't imagine life without Halle and Bill and am so lucky to have them!
