8 months already?

I seriously can't believe B is already 8 months old. This last month just flew by. With getting sick, moving, and trying to enjoy our last days in Utah, life was pretty busy. Brooklyn is such a happy and beautiful baby. She has done so well this last week after being in the car for three days and being dragged everywhere. She continue to impress me everyday. She's so smart and flexible. She is so happy and patient. I learn so much from her everyday. I learn more and more everyday why Christ teaches us to become like a child. I hope I teach her a thing or two during this process...ha 

Here's what she's been up to:

- Perfecting her army crawl. She's so much faster. 
- Became a momma's girl. Ever since she had the flu she has been wanting to be held and paid attention to by me. I find it to be so sweet. 
- Loves eating her solid foods. Her appetite has increased quite a bit.
- She can get her belly up off the ground. 
- Talking tons and tons. She just babbles all day long, especially when trying new foods. Se makes the cutest noises and they are starting to sound more like words.
- She got her 3rd tooth on 8/27 and her 4th is on its way to breaking through any day now.
- Traveled to Az, Tx, Nm, and Co. She is becoming quite the traveler.
- Went on her 1st road trip and moved away from where she was born.  She's a Texan now!
- Tried avocado, watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe, puffs, yogurt bites, and Ice Cream. Obviously the ice cream was BlueBell. Wouldn't start her on anything but the best.
- Uses her feet like a second pair of hands. It's pretty funny. She's such a silly girl. 
- Says momma with meaning. This really just came about yesterday that I noticed. She was so tired and just wanted her mom. She started crawling towards me while saying momma. It melted me heart. She used it all throughout the day when she wanted me. Best. Day. Ever.

Isn't she cute?

Sadly I can't take her 8 month pictures and post them since our computer isn't setup in our hotel room. Thanks to the ipad I can get this out! More information on our road trip to Texas soon. It sure was an adventure.

We live in a small two bedroom apartment and there isn't much room to decorate. This morning I was watching the video Wise Men Still Seek Him   and felt inspired to create a printable for my home. It's a good reminder to not only seek Him this time of year but thr

Big News!

So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5

Please Tell Me...

Please tell me you guys have done this before because I just can't be the only one. This has happened twice to me now and I just feel ridiculous about it. I am shopping and Brooklyn is in her carseat sleeping and the diaper bag is in the main part of the cart. I am getting my groceries and just start putting stuff in around the carseat and diaper bag. I check out, get my bags, and head out to the car. I load the groceries in the car and then take Brooklyn out to put her in the car and I find stuff I haven't paid for. It slid underneath her carseat or the diaper bag and there it is. First time, it was pie crust and the second time it was shampoo. I try to check everywhere but something always seems to slip underneath the carseat and in my hurry I just miss it. I feel so dumb but at this point Brooklyn is buckled in and I am in a hurry to get her home. For those of you with small children you know how difficult it is to repack it all and get back in there when they could wa
