Reason 5 Why I Love Being A Mom: FIRST BIRTHDAY!



Well we passed one of the most dangerous years for a baby with flying colors! Zoey is a wonderfully, happy baby and constantly learning and loving to learn! She just adores doing anything her mommie is doing and figuring out how to do it exactly. She has started mimicking the sign language on her sign language dvd! And she's on her way to walking! (She smiles so big when she's walking assisted with me!)

She's just incredible. I look at her and wonder how her daddy and I got so lucky to have the most perfect creature in our lives. She really is perfect to me. She has this smile that's completely infectious. And then a giggle to match. Her eyes are so expressive and big and beautiful. And of course all her funny faces she likes to make warms my heart.

She has been the greatest adventure and I have learned so much from her. I haven't been around babies much in my life and she's really the first time I've spent more than a couple hours with one. I was scared. But she was the perfect first child that I could have ever asked for. She can brighten up the darkest of days; it's an incredible superpower I wish I could get my hands on :oP Now that I have her I cannot imagine my life without her and I do look forward to the day where she can play with a little sibling. But not quite yet ;o)

Zoey, you have made me the happiest I have ever been, next to marrying your dad (because without that day we wouldn't have you!). I am so grateful for all that you have done for me and all that I have learned about myself and who I want to be for you. I love you SO much. More and more every day. It really does just keep getting better with you! <3

Reason 53 Why I Love Being A Mom: Model Pose and Pout


I think the picture says it all :oP

Reason 9 Why I Love Being A Mom: Assisted Walking!



Oh She's so close to walking!!! Ah! It's thrilling but scary at the same time, as cliche as that is to say as a parent :oP But she's looking absolutely adorable in the process! Two ladies at Olive Garden the other day saw us practicing down the sidewalk and had to stop and say how cute she was with her little walk! Ah i'm loving it regardless of the scary factor <3

Reason 219 Why I Love Being A Mom: Waking Up Before Her






It's rather rare that I wake up before Zoey since my me-time to edit and clean ends up being after I put her to sleep the night before. But on the rare occasion that I do wake up before her I LOVE watching her sleep and look so peaceful. It's just a beautiful sight to see something you created resting and content. <3

Reason 238 Why I Love Being A Mom: Standing On Her Own!


Ah that smile! But really it's about the standing! She's been doing this for about a month (I have the exact date my in journal for her) :o) But it's been fun and the walking is shortly following!! eek!!!

Reason 11 Why I Love Being A Mom: Dancing On Her Own



I dont think I've even posted a picture of her standing on her own yet! (I'm going to get right on that!) But She's started dancing while standing, on her own. Just out of nowhere. So cute! I just love it. I love being a mom. And I love watching her grow and develop.

Reason 20 Why I Love Being A Mom: DVD Mess


Why on Earth would this be a reason I love being a mom? Well first of all did it put a smile on your face? Because regardless of the mess it makes me laugh. (I'm so glad I didn't alphabetize like i normally do!). And secondly when I put them all back she HAS to take them all out again, so that buys me a little time to edit or clean or eat :oP

(I'm so behind on reasons, I apologize! I have so many accumulated but just dont have the time to get them organized and up on here. But I am working on it! especially the videos, lots of videos!)

Reason 8 Why I Love Being A Mom: I Finally See Myself In Her



Until I started looking back at these pictures of me (the nonwatermarked images), I thought Zoey was the exact image of my husband. I am so happy that a little bit of me is showing through because I think she is the most beautiful creature ever and knowing that part of me created that is the most incredible feeling. And while she is the most beautiful creation I can ever imagine I hope we can focus more on her sweetness and intellect. <3



Reason 74 Why I Love Being A Mom: Shape Toy Attempt


My aunt got Zoey this little toy that cousins apparently LOVED! So whiel she's probably still a little too young to completely grasp the concept of specific items going through each hole she has figured out that you are supposed to put things through the holes. I was cleaning up and noticed she put one of her socks in there! The cutest little thing ever! :o)
