New Year's Resolution!

So I was talking to Jeb about how I have been really lazy with this blog, so I am going to start updating it more often. My private blog is going to be about my family and be our family journal and this blog is going to be about other stuff. I'm not quite sure what exactly but I want to keep this blog up and I'm sure occasionally I will update about my family but it most likely will be about other things. Who knows i'm still trying to decide!! It may be about random things but hopefully it will be interesting to someone!  I wish I was a more creative writer, so hopefully throughout the year I can learn to become a creative writer and just a better writer all together. Anyway I will think of some good things to write about and start updating this blog!

Updated private blog!

It's been a while...

Sorry it's been awhile since i've updated this blog. I've mostly been updating my other blog. If anyone wants an invite to my private blog let me know and I will send you one.
Things have been going well this past month. I can't believe that Ahnika will be 2 months old on Sunday! She is so cute and we have a lot of fun with her. A couple of days ago she giggled in her sleep. It was so cute. I tried to record it but was too late. :(
She is growing every day and it is so great to watch her get stronger and learn new things but it's also kind of sad because it means she is growing up and won't be my newborn for much longer. She is sleeping good at night. Last night she slept from 10 to 5am. It was great. Some nights she sleeps 6 to 7 hours and some nights its 5 hours. But I trully appreciate the sleep i've been getting the last couple of weeks. Usually I wake up once or twice during the night thinking she will be waking up soon but she is sound asleep so I go back to bed. Yesterday Ahnika and I went with Nanny (my mom) to visit Tyra, Raya, and Siri, we had lunch with them and had an enjoyable mid-morning! Then we went over to Missy's house and hung out with her, Tessa, Dane, and Josh! On our way home, I stopped at Little things mean alot in American Fork and bought a beautiful Blessing dress! We are planning on blessing Ahnika in the middle of January we don't have a date set.
We had a great Thanksgiving! We spent Thanksgiving day at my parents house and had a great time making gingerbread houses, watching movies, eating, sledding and just hanging out! Saturday we went to Jeb's parent's house and watch the Christmas light parade and then had dinner with their supper club and their families! We had a fun Thanksgiving weekend!!

One Month...

Wow I can't believe it's been a month since my baby was born. Tomorrow at 8:56 pm Ahnika will be 1 month old. Time flies by when you are having fun and not much sleep! ;) We have been enjoying our time with our sweet little girl. Yes we have had many rough and sleepless nights but it's getting better and she is worth it. This past month she has had two photo shoots and the pictures turned out beautifully. At 2 weeks Jeb started feeding her at bedtime, she is doing great with taking a bottle. Which is so great, it gives Jeb some special daddy daughter time and when we want to go out on dates whoever watches her can feed her. Her umbilical cord fell off at about 2 1/2 weeks, she smiles lots and holds her head up really well during tummy time and when you hold her upright against your chest. I believe she recognizes mommy and daddy's voices, when we talk to her she will turn towards the sound of our voices. She likes when I play the piano so I am trying to play it more often. She is such a beautiful baby we still can't believe the Lord entrusted her to us. We love our little girl so much and are grateful that we are able to be her parents and pray that we can do a good job at raising her.

We are grateful for all of our family members and friends who come visit and help us. We try to express our gratitude but want to say Thank you again to our amazing family! Thank you Mom for helping me clean our house and letting me take naps and run errands when I need to!!
We love you all!
