agh hem. hello...

testing, testing
1,  2,  3
is this thing on?

Why hello, yes thats right I am back, so it's been two months, where have I been, what have we been up to? well lets just say A LOT, lots of things I could have blogged about like the purchase of our fist home, and the all of our painting projects we have been up to around the new house, or how about my going back to work, yeah I never did blog about that, however I did try to get on and type out a few words for Jada's monthly milestones... but boy has she been up to a lot ... learning to crawl,sitting up in her crib,singing, being as cute as ever.... so how about this. rather than write about all the things I have left out,

how about we toast to new beginning?



because I QUIT MY J-O-B ( the one I have had for the last 3 yrs)

today is my first day back to doing what iLove.
-mopped floor (check)
-Cleaned (check)
-kiss on baby (check)
-trash out (check)
-kiss on baby (check)
-Laundry (check)
-kiss on baby (check)
-make baby food (check)
-kiss on baby (check)

truth be told, I did learn that I can enjoy working, I did love the extra money that I was making and Jada was at home able to spend the time I was away at work getting to bond with her Gigi Ma, so this past month was a great learning experience and it really opened my eyes.  I love being this little girls momma and I could enjoy having a career too, just not one that involved ridiculous hours..

so with that said...

stay tuned to see what is in store for us, and I promise I will be back to tell you all about it.

6 months

well Jada as mommy has been a horrible blogger the past two months, I somehow still find the time to keep up with your milestone posts.  You are six months old today!! I can't believe it... you are 1/2 way to your first birthday. Yesterday we traveled out to Michigan city to take your 6 month pictures and you were fantastic, much better than your newborn session I must throw in there (thank you for that.) I can't wait to see all the pictures, the one above was a Sneak Peek for us, you sure were a little Ham so I am sure it will be hard for mommy to choose.

you really have become your own person, you have an adorable personality, always smiling and laughing, and when in your bouncy seat every now and again you get overwhelmed with excitement and start to flail your little arms and legs around.  Daddy and I are so entertained with you, who needs blackberry's and I phones when we have you!?!?


you are still wearing 6-9 month clothing with an occasional 12 month thrown in there. 

you are eating 6 oz every 3 hrs which ends up being 5 bottles a day because you are a very routine baby, you wake up at 6 AM and go to bed by 6:30 Pm... you get fruit in the morning and a veggie at night before your bath, we still have yet you give you something you don't like...  this last month we have introduced you to butternut squash, spinach, zucchini, apricots, & Avocados... now that you are ready at 6 months, I will be making you some whole wheat breakfast cereal.

new this month you are now sitting up! you can sit up on your own for a good amt. of time too, we took a five minute video of you the other day! you are even doing tricks when sitting up, yesterday mommy was tossing you your stuffed ball and you would pick it up and toss it back( kinda) 

your really beginning to test the waters with crawling, you get up on all 4's and rock back and forth, gigi thinks it will happen during this month. we can't talk our eyes off of you for 2.1 seconds and you will have rolled off the blanket on to the hard wood and scooting yourself all over the place. 

you love when mommy sings to you, and Im not even talking little lullabies... sometimes mommy goes all out and will dance and sing just for fun, and you just smile and giggle, one time daddy even caught me and said I was like a rock star to you, Ha.ha.ha.

you love love love Books, when I read to you, you follow with your eyes, looking at each page, you have one book that is wooden which you love because the pages are thick enough for you to turn.


Mommy went back to work this month, so you have been home on your regular routine and Gigi comes over to take care of you while mommy and daddy are at work,  we are currently looking for a Nanny to start in August which i must admit they have to have a 5 star rating in order for them to be considered.  You are doing well with the change, for the most part its just 4 days a week.



You are just the most precious little baby girl Jada Grace, and Mommy and Daddy are absolutely smitten with you. 


Love forever & Always
-Mom
