First Timer

This is my first time to have a blog. I have a tendancy to be very excited about things when I first start them and then slowly burn out. I am going to try my hardest to keep this up to date. I have read other people's blogs and I think it is a great way to document exactly how I am feeling, the things that are going on in my life, and the way my life changes from day to day. I want to be able to look back and remember the little things about my life. All the little things that make everyday life extraordinary. Especially now that I have a special little girl that has completely captivated my whole heart.


 This is Isabella Jae and I adore her more than she will ever know. She is twelve weeks old now. It is hard for me to remember how my life was just 3 months ago before it was all about her. I once read "A child fills a spot in your heart you never knew was empty." This is so true. I never could've imagined exactly how much I was going to love her. And when I think about how much I love her and think that my mom loves me that much, it is almost overwhelming. I think you cannot really understand how much your parents love you until you give that same love to your own child.

It is incredible the differences from a 3 month old and a newborn. At this particular time in Isabella's life, she likes to talk. And, if I am not paying attention to her, she begins to yell. It is the funniest thing! She rubs her eyes when she's sleepy, grabs her feet, pulls off her socks, pulls my hair, kicks and wiggles like it's going out of style, and likes to hold on to my fingers when she is falling asleep. She also likes to suck on the majority of her fist, but then she gags, catches her breath, and continues sucking. Oh, and she is almost always smiling and laughing.

So, Isabella, my love, I am going to keep this blog up so that, one day, you can read about all the things you did, how you grew and matured, and how much I love you.

Love, Mama
