A day in the life of Halen

My blue eyed girl. You are the light of our world darling Halen. Every day daddy and I are more and more in love with you. From the moment you wake up, you smile ear to ear. You gurgle a language of your own and your eyes shine with happiness. You've changed our lives so much and we are forever thankful to the Lord above for sending your sweet self into our lives.

We love being our little family. Our daily routine usually goes: I set my alarm for 5:50 a.m. and when it goes off, I am reminded that I am a mommy. And not only that but I am YOUR mommy. My heart skips a beat and then I shower you with kisses. (You are usually sleeping in our bed at this point.) Then daddy cuddles you as I go make coffee and get dinner ready for the crockpot. Then I hurry back to bed so I can get some snuggles. Daddy gets ready for work while you and I stay cozy in bed. I turn on Joyce Meyer to receive some of the Lord's word, to inspire us for the day ahead. Then I put on Good Morning America. Lately, I have been reading you a story, each day,  from a Children's Bible

Uncle Bill gave us. Today we read about the Tower of Babel. We play, giggle, talk and I cover you with a million kisses. Then we get dressed for the day. I usually put you in your Exer-Saucer for a few minutes to play while I get my lunch together.

Then if it is a Monday you go to YaYa's house, yesterday you were there. You played, watched Lil Buds, went on a walk and had great feedings/naps. Yaya loves hanging out with her Halen! Today you are with Gigi and Papa. Gigi comes over in the morning to play and then takes you to Papa's condo. Sometimes she takes you to the music class at the library, which you love. I pick you up in the afternoons. Gigi is smitten over you! And Papa loves watching you grow, he can't wait til you are walking and talking. Wednesday-Friday you go to see Ms. Lyn around the corner from our house. Ms. Lyn keeps six kiddos (including you) at her house, you guys play, dance, watch Mickey Mouse Club, and sing songs. You are always happy when I pick you up from Ms. Lyn's house.

After I pick you up, we come home and feed, play and more snuggles. I love seeing your face light up when you see my face! Sometimes daddy can pick you up, he loves that.

Then around 7-8 you start to get drowsy and fall asleep. Daddy and I watch Jimmy Fallon and then we go to bed too. Sometimes I put you in your pack n play to sleep but if you fuss, I bring you in bed with daddy and I. We love having you near us in bed, you sleep better that way anyways.

Then I say my prayers thanking Jesus for sending such a wonderful creature into our lives. I thank the Lord for our health, our blessings and ask for guidance and clarity to make the right decisions.

Fall is around the corner! So many fun things to do. I love how it feels my life has a new purpose and I love getting excited to introduce you to different things. I am so excited for your first Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, to see snow in Colorado, watching Disney movies, take you to a pumpkin patch, to bake with you......... so many fun things ahead.

Love you cutie tootie!
