7 months

My goodness life has been busy here trying to get ready for our move to Texas but I still wanted to make time to write down how Brooklyn has changed and grown in the last month. I already feel bad for my future babies...I doubt they'll get records of each month of their 1st year of life. I'll do my best. Anyways...


Isn't she cute? Melts my heart everyday. Here are some of the things she's been up to this last month:
  • Reaches out to touch your face and show that she loves you
  • Got her 2nd tooth!
  • Does the funniest thing where she chews on her top gums with her bottom teeth. Her nostrils flare and her nose gets all scrunched up. It's pretty dang adorable.
  • Loves to play sitting up. She can sit up like a champion
  • Slaps her hands down on everything: legs, tables, floor, water in the bath or pool
  • Loves to also play on her tummy and will go from sitting to her knees to flat on her belly
  • While she's on her stomach she'll turn herself around in a circle. This was her first form of movement
  • She army crawls! It has been so fun for her to be able to get the things she sees. It has been giving me a run for my money. I am just not used to the fact that she can move. We've had a couple incidents but I am learning...ha
  • Said dada for the first time without knowing that's what she meant. Derek still loved hearing it.
  • Plays independently for long periods
  • Excellent sleeper
  • We got her a straw sippy cup and it's the best thing. She loves to suck on that straw
  • Makes whisper whistle sounds
  • Can make pop and razz noises with her lips
  • LOVES to swim
  • Gets excited when she see's a familiar face. It really make mine or Derek's day to know she's excited to see us.
  • Loves to suck on ice cubs in her little mesh feeder
I feel like she has changed so much this past month and is always keeping me on my toys. She puts things in her mouth she shouldn't, she is knocking everything over that's within reach while I hold her, and she grabs anything when I sit down with her. I love to see her so eager to discover the world. I love to know that she is growing so much. She continues to bless our lives so much everyday and continues to make me a better person by all she teaches me. So grateful for our little girl. Sure do love you Brooklyn!

Her first 4th of July!

She was cuddling with me. She never does this. I was in heaven.
This girl is so flexible. She just bends in half all day long.
Such a happy baby

Her many faces while trying to eat food when she'd rather be sleeping
Big girl bath time! 

Loves her dad. Also look at those long legs!

Wise Men Still Seek Him Free Printable

By
UPDATE:  Hello Everyone! I have noticed that this post has been receiving a lot of traffic via pinterest and The Dating Divas Website. I wanted to welcome you all. I still do free printables for different seasons and holidays but no longer post them on my personal blog. We'd love it if you'd follow along on our design journey. You can find us on Facebook ! I also post all of my free printables here . Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your holiday season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So the past couple of days I have really been thinking about how I can reflect the true meaning of Christmas in my home. 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!

By
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 ...

32 Weeks

By
32 weeks, 2 days here How Far Along: 32 weeks, 4 days Size of the Baby:  Almost 4 pounds and about 17 inches long Weight gain/loss: 3.6 pounds in the last month bringing me to 12.6 pounds total Sleep:  It's gotten worse. Oh well. At least the trains are the least of my worries now. Any sleep advice for the 3rd trimester? I'll take any I can get. I wake up with the worst back and abdomen pain and I have to rotate multiple times throughout the night since my hips, legs, arms, and hands all start going numb. ha I am ready to buy a recliner and sleep sitting up. It might work out better. Best Moment of the Week: My birthday and my baby shower. (More to come on these later) How could you not have an awesome week with those two things in the mix? Movement: Lots of rolling and jabbing. I feel like the past couple days she has been moving more constantly. I am loving it. Only two other people have felt her move besides her parents - Samantha and Jami...
