Well, here goes nothing. I'm not really sure where to begin with this blogging thing, but I'm going to give it a try. As a newlywed of 3 years and a mom of a 10 month old, I for whatever reason thought my life was interesting enough to write about. My biggest hope with this blog is to keep family and friends up to date in our busy lives and share stories about the wonderful changes Jade is providing in our life. I also want to be able to share quick and easy recipe's and an occasional craft/DIY project I've had success with.
So, for starters I'll give a quick recap of the last 10 months of our lives b/c that's the most exciting. Jade Nicole greeted us 10 days before her due date and 8 days before Christmas. She was born December 17, 2011 at 1:53AM. She was 7lbs 14oz and 20 inches long and I don't think I would have wanted her much bigger.
The first few nights/weeks were a whirlwind, but now at 10 months couldn't be more excited and happy with the way our lives were forever changed.
Jade at her 3 week photo shoot. She is obviously thrilled to be there!
At 3 months old she was sleeping through the night for the most part; she officially became a child of God and was baptized, and started gaining those lovely marshmallow arms that everyone loves!
At 6 months she started this goofy face and we got our first set of family pictures taken. I loved the outdoor/natural light photo shoot! Jade was awesome and we got some really great photo's! At 10 months now, she still occasionally makes this face. I already think she loves to make people laugh, so if you laugh at it she'll keep making it!
9 months old and into electronics! I got the camera out this day to take a picture of whatever she was doing and she decided to stop what she was doing to come check out the camera. This is her crawling over to come see what I'm doing. She always wants to be a part of the action!
On September 15, Jade was in her first wedding. She was the flower girl in my Uncle's wedding in Beulah, ND. My Uncle, who is a big Harley fan, made this wagon for her to be pulled down the aisle in. She did an awesome job that day considering she was around a ton of people she didn't know.
And here she sits at almost 10 months old in one of my old dresses. I know she's my little girl, but doesn't she look like a doll in this picture! At 10 months old Jade has 4 teeth, is crawling everywhere, pulls herself to a stand on anything she can grab a hold of, will stand on her own until she figures out what she's doing and either drops to the floor or grabs you to hang onto, dances to the music on her toys and TV, and is starting to really talk up a storm making noises I can't even make. We are starting to try "real" food now too...today's experiment...spaghetti-O's. That was a bust! She took 3 bites and wanted no more!
That was the quickest recap of the last 10 months of our lives. I would be here all day if I stopped to share every story along the way, but needed a place to start. So there you have it...a start to my blog world. Enjoy!
