The Unexpected: Happy Birthday sweet Princess

Happy Birthday sweet Princess

I have been wanting to write this blog post for days, yet continued to wait until her actual birthday. Now, I am just too tired! I have pictures to go through and video's to watch, and I am exhausted. We went shopping for birthday party decorations this morning and hiking this afternoon. Then this evening our favorite friends came over to sing happy birthday and eat cake. It was a beautiful day, even if now my feet and back are killing me. I need better supporting sneakers! I will post the best photo's and videos tomorrow. But for tonight, I will share Bailey's 1st birthday montage I finished last week and have been waiting for today to share here. And few quick snap shots.

Happy 1st Birthday to the sweet little lady of the house, Bailey Grace. One year ago at roughly this time, I was cuddling up with you. You weren't even 2 hours old. I stared at you in awe. I couldn't believe you were mine for the keeping. Now, everything before you are just distant memories. You made our family complete, though I yearn for another pregnancy and birth, I am so very content to say you are my last child. You really did round out our family, adding in your own little bit of sass. Watching you go from a little baby to a little girl is amazing. I was always afraid of having a little girl, but with that little girl being you, I will make it. You are my light. You are my heart. I love you.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl.

I am Nicole. I am a 24 year old SAHM to three wonderful children, Thomas, Collin, & Bailey. I am very happily married to the love of my life, Tom. Tom is 7.5 years older than me, but some how we were meant to be. We started dating sometime between March and May of 2000 and were married on May 7th, 2005. We are both recovering heroin addicts. I am attempting and struggling to lose weight. I wish it were baby weight but it's not. It doesn't help I have a terrible addiction to smoothies, ice cream, and Reese's.

This is my oldest son Thomas. He is 5. He started kindergarten this year. If he isn't in school, he is wanting to play video games. And if he isn't playing video games, it's because I got on his case. He loves learning. He loves imaginative play. And he still loves his mommy. And still gives kisses and hugs in public. Our only problem is his constant whining. And I mean constant. Speaking of, if anyone has any ideas to stop the whining, I'd be very grateful. Ignoring the whining is just not working.

My once silent little 2 year old. Though he is in speech therapy, and not everyone can understand him, he is the sweetest little boy. Until you tick him off. He has quite the little temper. He is a very independent little boy, usually found playing by himself. Every thing needs to be on his terms or you will get an earful. Even with his temper and his need for everything to be his way, he will stop whatever he is doing if someone is crying, hurt, or sad. He will come and offer kisses, hugs, smiles, and laughter.

My one year old baby girl. This girl is the funniest to those she is comfortable and seems like such high maintenance to those she doesn't see as often. Almost anything can get her lip to quiver and tears to fall. Even being as sensitive as she is, she loves to giggle and play. She is always stealing phones to say "'lo" and "buh" or the remote to switch channels anytime someone is paying more attention to the television than her. There are so many little things about her I love, but she hasn't quite found her place yet. My favorite time of day with her is right before nap time and when she does wake during the night to nurse. There is something about still breastfeeding her that makes me still feel she is an infant, instead of a toddling child.
