Love Love Love Being a Mommy

For some reason I feel like I can't post unless I have a picture. I decided I need to journal more whether I have a picture or not. For the last little while I have been thinking about how much I love being a mommy to my little Jaycee. She brings me so much joy! A type of joy I have never experienced until having her. As a teacher I have always experienced joy from the darling kids I teach everyday and thought the feeling would be similar as to when I had kids of my own, it is nothing even comparable.Jaycee has brought so much joy into our home. I love watching her interact with her daddy. He is so amazing with her. She laughs and gigles while they play and she cuddles him when mommy needs a break. It's just the simple things everyday that bring a smile to my face and a giggle. For example when I am feeding her and she spits it back out at me whole she is laughing, or when she is trying to eat her toes while I change her diaper. My most favorite time is first thing in the morning when she wakes up and teels me a big long story in her baby babble, it is so stinkin cute. Tubby time is another time that makes me laugh and gigle. She loves to take tubbies and suck all the water out of her washcloth.

Doing Laundry with the kiddies!

I am a silly little monkey these days. I am 10 months old and love to be doing everything mommy and daddy are doing. If I am not in on the action, I cry and fuss until mommy and daddy make me part of the action. My doggy Scooter has learned to ignore my cries and just go with the flow. Today I helped out with the laundry. My doggy Scooter loves when my mommy dumps the warm laundry on the ground so that he can lay in it while she folds it. I just like to make a mess with it, that's a lot more fun, I get bored just laying around in it. In fact, I really don't like clothes. I loved to be naked in a diaper. I throw really big fits when mommy and daddy try to dress me and put my diaper on. They have to "tag team" me. I am starting to sitting up by myself and starting to army crawl a little bit. I still like to have nightime visits with mommy and daddy in the middle of the night, at least two times per night. My little belly just doesn't hold much so I get hungry a lot. I still have no teeth but drool all the time! I love my little family.



Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day! Daddy and I went shopping to buy mommy a special gift for Valentines Day. She kept telling him not to get her anything because she already had everything she could ever want, my Daddy and me! My daddy never lets a holiday go by without making my mommy feel special. So we got mommy a plant, chocolate, a move to watch with me, and fun manicure and pedicure stuff. The joke is on her, she will never have time to paint her nails with little 'ol me around . I am excited to be part of this family because I have a feeling I am going to be just as spoiled as my mommy if not more by my daddy. He loves his girls!

Jaycee visits her Great Grandma

FAMILY is a pretty big deal with my mommy and daddy. They really wanted me to meet my Great Grandma Cooley, so here I am being a good girl! Grandma Grace was so excited to see me and was so excited to hold me. My mommy and daddy were just as excited to show me off.  All they could do the whole time is talk about how amazing I am.

Jaycee and her Highchair!

My mommy keeps calling me her "Little Peanut" but I think I am a big girl and ready to sit in a big girl chair. So off we went to the store to buy me a new highchair. All of them looked so big and I looked so tiny in them, but we finally found one we liked. I think this chair is a pretty new and fun toy. I love to put one leg up and just relax in it while I am eating! Right now my gums hurt really bad because I may be getting some teeth, so Mommy and Daddy give me yummy things to bite on and suck on. I really like apples. My bib says it all! I am a daddy's girl. My Mommy has to peel me off my Daddy to get a chance to hold me. My hair is growing so fast! My mommy likes to make me have crazy hair. I love baby food and cereal. I am still a little eater though. I guess I will be my mommy's "little peanut forever!
