Little May

Our baby is getting so big! Maylee is almost 4 months and she's so much fun! 

Today I took a few pictures of her and she smiled and jabbered during the whole thing! Cute lil' girl!

 

"Throwback Thursday" - Wedding Crashers

I'm preparing a talk for church in our new ward and I get to introduce our family.  

As I was thinking of how I could introduce us, I immediately thought about Nick and I when we first started dating... and the "wedding crashers" came to mind.  

We tried to always meet up to attend our friends' wedding receptions and it became fun to add another picture to the collection.  

Since it's "Throwback Thursday", I'm going to post these awesome photos.

Night 1: Three wedding receptions fell on one night.... we went to them all.  Plus one more.

Jake and Maria

On Motherhood

This morning I looked in the mirror, smiled, and felt like myself again. Part of it may be due to the fact that I'm wearing pre-pregnancy pants... But overall I can say that I feel good emotionally, spiritually, and physically. The last few months were a roller coaster, and I needed to get to the point that I could unstrap myself, jump off the ride, and wave goodbye to the ups and downs.

Three Months

Our sweet Maylee is now three months old! 

She becomes more and more fun each day and she's growing so fast! 

Maylee....

Blessing Day

Maylee was blessed today in our new ward!  

Nick did such a good job on her blessing and she was so well behaved :)  

A HUGE thanks for our families and friends for their support and their help in making today special for us.

We love you all!

2 Months!

Time flies when you're having fun!  

Our sweet little Maylee is two months old!  

She has been such a joy to our family and we love her so much!

At two months Maylee....

continues to be so snuggly!  She is a cuddly little thing and we love to let her fall asleep on us!

has started to smile at us when we talk to her!

coos and makes all sorts of noise - I love those adorable baby noises :)

has started to eat a lot more - and if she is cut short she is not happy...

continues to love her binkie!

is sleeping better - she usually gets a long stretch at first (5-6 hours) with a shorter second stretch (2-3 hours).  In the middle of the night she goes right back to bed after she eats most of the time.

loves to be outside!

enjoys listening to the "rockabyebaby" pandora station.

wears size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes.

We went to Maylee's 2 month appointment on September 6th - her weight was 10 pounds 7 ounces and she was 22 3/4 inches long! Our girl is growing!

 

Our Anniversary

Nick and I just celebrated our 3rd anniversary! We had a low key day and decided to go out to dinner to celebrate. We went to the Blue Lemon and spent the evening at City Creek. 

What a fun night! It was nice to have a good reason to go out to eat!

It's been a great three years! I love you Nick!
