My 10 m0nth 0ld

Kiera's 10 months old now... i just wanna freeze time. She's so small still but so independent. She doesn't like being held & sometimes gets so frustrated with herself for not being able to walk. She's almost there... just not quite confident enough to do it. I know she can, she has to know that she can. She is talking like crazy, her favorite things to say right now are "thank you, hey, skye, all done, daddy, and sarah"... yes... she calls me sarah. She mimics & repeates everything! She just soaks things up & amazes us by all that she comprehends. When i ask her a question, she responds with "yes, ok, or she'll say & sign all done". I know it probably sounds like i'm bragging or showing off, but get used to it i guess... i'm so proud of everything my little girl does. Let's see... oh, she's got teeth now! She has 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom! She definetly knows how to use them, her favorite time is when eating a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. There's so much that i could tell you about my little princess but we'd be here all day. She's my world, my love, my everything, my spitfire. She's a spoiled little brat & i love her more than anything!

HaPpy BirThdAy t0 Me...!

Yesterday was my birthday & it was the most wonderful day! I was able to spend it with my family at the HaPpiEst PlAce 0n EaRth! We spent the whole morning & afternoon there, then we came home for food & cake with some family, then ryan & i went back to DisneyLand for some "big kid" rides while kiera stayed home with grandma. As i was thinking about my birthday & some things i'm thankful for, i realized that i love & appreciate my mom sooo much more than i knew i did. Having experienced child birthing, i realize that it's not just my special day but a special day that me and my mom share. My mom had to put her own life through everything to bring me here & give me life. I will be eternally grateful. I'm also so thankful for my little family. I have the best husband who works so hard everyday to provide for us. He made me the most amazing birthday cake and bought me the best present ever! Thank you so much Ryan for everything! And i'm also thankful for the most beautiful little girl who broke the hardness of my heart down & can make me cry by just being her cute self. Last year on my birthday i was pregnant, and this was my first year as a mama... i just see it getting better from here!
