So silly...

Hey little girl,

The other day your daddy had you giggling so hard, you want to know how?

He put you on his head, belly down, like a baby hat.  You thought it was the funniest thing!  I loved hearing those little deep giggles, you give them so rarely.

You are such a quiet little girl, you love to sit and watch and smile, but you almost never talk.  Though, your brother loves to get you to talk to him, and you love him so much that you comply.  You two are going to be amazing friends.

You're growing so fast, I wish I could slow time.  Your brother is two and a half, you're almost 7 months, why can't I just freeze time.  I want to be able to cuddle you both and hold you as long as I can.

As I was leaving for work this morning you were so sweet I didn't want to let you go, it's so hard to leave you every day.

As always, love you baby girl.

Getting used to working again.

I finally started back to work on September 17th, I believe, it's been a hard transition but it's getting better.  It's so hard to leave you two, especially with your little gummy smiles in the morning, you're so snuggly and sweet and your brother is so goofy.

Your daddy had surgery on his tummy last week, he wants to lose weight so he can be around for you both when you get older, we want to see you babies walk down the aisle, have children of your own.  Or not, if that's not for you.  We just want to see you grow and thrive and BE HAPPY no matter what your choices on that matter are.

We both love you so much, I hope you never forget or doubt that.

And now for some pictures of my 6 MONTH OLD BABY GIRL!

Seriously, how is this much cuteness even possible?


What IS this, mom?


<3<3<3


Your brother loves you so much, remember that when he is driving you nuts.



Ugh, that beautiful face.

5 Months

Baby girl, 5 months already?  How did we get here, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

You are the sweetest thing, always smiling, grabbing, talking, living.  There isn't a thing I don't love about you.  You love your brother (even though he is a bit rough with you, boys will be boys), you are always trying to grab the animals who seem to stay just out of your reach, ha ha.

I go back to work on the 4th of September, that day will be on of the hardest in my entire life.  I hate leaving you and your brother but I know it'll make your lives better.

I love you sweet girl, don't you ever forget that.

I'm a bad blogger.

Hey little one, I've been neglecting this space because I've been so wrapped up in YOU.  You are beautiful, a light in my life, you and your brother keep me afloat in the worst of times.

You're two months old already, I cannot believe it, where did the time go?  It's such a long 9 month wait to meet you, then before I know it you're not a newborn anymore, you're a full blown wiggly baby with smiles, coos, and strength.  You're absolutely perfect.

Your daddy likes to make jokes about you being a pain in the butt because you're so much more demanding than your brother was, but don't believe him, he is absolutely smitten with you.  You are his baby girl and I hope you don't expect to date.  Ever.

Even your brother loves you, in fact he is constantly in your face.  You aren't really a fan of it when he's slobbering on you, but you love to look at him.  He's probably very interesting to you, noisy, active, constantly on the move, it's no wonder you love to watch him.

We all love you so much.

Love your bumbo:



My beautiful babes:



Mama 'n me:



They don't come more beautiful than this:

Three weeks

How is it that three weeks have come to pass already?  You're such a fantastic little baby, you have your moments, but you make things pretty easy for us.

Right now you have a bit of congestion.  It's heartbreaking to hear you struggle to breathe through you nose now and then, I think it's messing with your sleep.  I guess one thing I never considered was your brother bringing a bug home from daycare, though I don't know how I missed that because he was sick for the first two months of the year.  Oh well, it will pass.

You're so alert now, you were from the beginning, really.  You have more awake time, though.  Your brother loves you so much, I've finally started letting him hold you (with my help).  When I try to take you back he says "NO, MY BABY!"  He's going to be your best friend.

We are so happy you're here with us, you're daddy's little girl already.

We love you, Mischa.  Always have and always will.

Two weeks old!

Well, Mischa, today marks you two week birthday!  How has it already been two weeks?  You've accomplished so much, even the impossible which would be making your dad want another baby.  Who ever thought that was possible, ha ha!

You are such an amazing little girl, I couldn't possibly ask for anything more in a daughter.  How did we get so lucky?  Your big brother loves you so much, too, he won't stop giving you kisses or tickling your tummy.

You are exactly what we have been waiting for, and we love you.  Welcome to your new life.

Last day...

Well, this is it baby girl.  In approximately 18 hours I will finally get to see your beautiful face, tiny hands and toes, kissable baby lips, chunky cheeks.

To say I am anxious about tomorrow is a massive understatement, but more than anything I just want you to be out and screaming and hungry.  Tomorrow night you get to meet your "big" brother, I cannot wait to have my entire family together for the very first time.

I love you with all my heart!

Love,
Mommy, Daddy and the chicken butt.
