Fun Stuff and 5 Months

A couple weeks ago we went to the Gila Valley Temple open house. It was a fun little trip! Sky slept most the time, but she woke up in the sealing room and was able to look in the mirrors :) Love our family!

Sky's a good little traveler.

That weekend we also went to the peach festival, which is like a few minutes away from our house. There are some fun things to do in queen creek!

Gettin tall!

Skylin is now 5 months old! Every mom says this, but I can't believe how big she's getting. I can even look at her old pictures and I forget how little she use to be and how much she's changed! She is so much fun and a perfect little angel. She has made my adjustment into mom world very easy. Sky is now 13lds, 3 oz.

She absolutely loooves bottles! As of now, she gets 1 bottle a day and she gets sooo excited!

Everywhere I go people always ask me, "Is she always that happy?" I am lucky to always answer with a "yes!"

We also started her on rice cereal and she seems to like it. Yesterday and today she ate everything I made for her.

Before I became a Mamma I didn't know...

That I could feel guilty using the restroom.

What being interrupted in the shower really meant.

That spit-up would be my new perfume.

What being exhausted really feels like.

That I could handle being pooped and peed on without throwing up.

I also didn't know...

That I could love someone this much.

That someone's smile or laugh could make me just as happy the 100th time as it did the first.

That a sweet, innocent spirit could bring so much joy to a home.

That someone could be so excited to see me (even if I've been gone for just a minute).

That I could worry as much as I do.

That I would cry all the time from the love and spirit I feel from my daughter.

What being a mom really meant.

I am so grateful to be mother. It has changed my life and I can't imagine it being any other way. Austin made mother's day so great for me! He is always so good about making me feel wonderful when I feel so inadequate. We had a great time with each other and our mom's!
And it's true what they say: you learn to appreciate your mom more when you become one.

Seriously, you couldn't want this?

Swim Season

I'm so excited it's getting warm enough to swim! I took Sky swimming for the first time on Friday. She really liked it! She'll probably be a fish like her mom. ;)
