12 weeks

My sweet baby girl. You are 12 weeks old and we are all so in love with you. What a journey these last three months have been getting to know you. 

- i always think you like your car seat until you wake up when you're in it and you start crying. 

- you love mommy so much that you decided not to take a bottle anymore. 

- you love big sister. I mean LOVE her. she can get you to smile in an instant and i know she thinks highly of you as well.

- you're awake more during the day but you sleep between 10-12 hours at night. i think that is a pretty good compromise.

- you have a STRONG cry but the minute you see my face it turns into a smile that lights up your entire face. i love this about you.

- you love to rub your little feet together so i turn the heat up in the house so you can go sock-less in this cold weather.

- you are the gassiest baby i know. i even changed my diet to accommodate your sensitive stomach but was happy to do so if it made you happier and more comfortable.

- you like to be held

- i love the way you squeeze my shirt or your blanket with your little hand

- you found your hands and you keep them close to your face. you love to suck on your fingers or lick mommies shoulder :)

- you sleep long but if mommy or daddy make the slightest noise upstairs you move around in your bassinet and make a clicking sound. this makes us laugh

- you are starting to get ticklish, especially your chin

- you love kisses. mommy will sit and give you a thousand kisses in a row and you just take it with a smile

- you are in the 98% for height and 50% for weight. you are actually taller and heavier than Vail at this age

- you goo a lot and love to smile at everyone who talks to you

- you always grab my hair or necklace

- i love your smell and miss it when i am away from you for too long

- you are my baby sweet who makes me so happy

xoxo,

momma

A Shower for Mia and Zoe

I LOVE to throw parties and got the chance to co-host with my mom to shower my future twin nieces Mia and Zoe.

Of course knowing that two little girls are on there way I had to have a ton of pink.

My mom and I are a pretty good team between my decorations and her food. Plus it gave us a chance to spend more time together.

Michael and Rene - we can't wait for you to become parents and we can't wait to spoil your sweet little girls.

Family

I feel fortunate enough to have a close family where we all like and love each other. I love the chaos that comes when we all come together and the laughter and love that is shared celebrating each other and life events.

Nana, Tata, Monica and Chris came to visit after Grey was born and I love that I got to share this time with them. We had lot of family dinners, mom and nana made homemade tortillas, we sat out on the deck talking, laughing and letting them get to bond with our sweet babies that they don't get to see very often.

Thank you for being my family and loving us so much.
I miss you.
