Bitty Princess Turns Two!

Bitty Princess turned TWO this month! I cannot believe that we have been blessed to care for and love such an amazing little girl. She was decked out in her Minnie Mouse party theme from her head (Minnie hair clips) to her toes (Minnie pedicure :P) We had the pleasure of combining her party with her cousin Q, who was turning 4. Farm Chick was such a gracious host and provided the perfect spot to get our party on! We ate pizza and gobbled up cookies in shapes of glass slippers and flowers. Bitty Princess has logged some serious play hours with the awesome gifts she received. We are so blessed to have family that loves our girl so much. I can't wait to see what this year holds for our big kid!

To Freeze This Moment

Just thought I'd share a sweet moment I had with my Bitty Princess.

My girl is a movin' and groovin' toddler these days; complete with the sassy 'tude and kiddish giggles. Tonight when I was rocking her before I put her in her bed, she fell asleep. To actually "rock her to sleep"just doesn't really happen anymore. I feed her, rock and hum a little, and put my tired, but still wide eyed baby in her bed. I place her head on her special pillow Grammy made her,  hand her Teddy and put her blankie over her. She looks up at me and I tell her I love her. I leave the room, listen to her babble for a couple of minutes on the monitor, and then hear nothing but her fan buzz as she drifts to sleep. So, to rock my baby to sleep tonight was truly a joy I didn't realized I missed so much until it happened. That's just one of those subtle changes I've been talking about; the changes that happen so seamlessly and quickly, you don't even realize a shift has occurred. I pray for my heart and eyes to be open and constantly cherishing moments like these.

To many more nights rocking my royalty.

Bitty Princess Turns One!

I now know what moms are aways going on about when they say time flies and they can't believe how fast their babies grow! It seems almost unfair, the way they grow. They go to bed and wake just a pinch older and different looking. It's so subtle you don't even know it's happening. Then one day, you look over and you're tiny 8lb 1oz newborn is a big, walking, babbling one year old toddler. How does that happen?! Though I oscillate between feeling sad and happy about the changes, I know each stage is full of such joy and I don't want to miss it moping in the corner! So... here's a peek into the fun filled day we had celebrating Bitty Princess's first birthday.

Hello World!

Why hello there,

I've finally taken the plunge... I have a BLOG! I'm only a few years behind my sisters. As per usual. heehee I'm excited to have a place to share the good and the bad... the funny and the serious. What a neat thing to be able to document the day to day as well as the major events in ones life! I hope one day my daughter will go back through and peruse her mama's musings. I guess to start I should introduce my little family!

This is my hunky hubby. He is lovingly referred to as Romeo on the big family's main blog Four Sisters Farm, and I think I shall just stick with it! 

Two things... 

1. Please ignore the super jank background of a scary flee market that I convinced Romeo I just HAD to go check out. It was not worth the trip as you can tell. Lol

2. Yes. He is babywearing and LOVES to. I'm sorry ladies... He's taken!

This is our beautiful daughter whose blog name was given via the FSF blog as well. She was dubbed Bitty Princess. She is indeed a princess and at times a serious diva. There are no words to describe the love I have for this little girl. 

These verses have taken on new meaning since she entered my world:

Children are a gift from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.

Psalm 127:3-5

Thank you so much for popping by and catching up with me. To many more blog entries to come!
