Mercedes is napping and Taylor is out at "the gun store" with his brother and dad and so I'm taking the alone time to blog. It will only be as long as my baby's nap. Since I'm just sitting here listening to the silence plus the dishwasher (so not really silence) I'm just going to go over recent events and thoughts I have on my mind. Throughout will be pictures of my adorable little cumquat.
First of all, Mercedes will be 7 months old tomorrow! I know, I really cannot believe it. Seven months is a long time. It's almost as long as a full pregnancy. She doesn't seem like it's been that long but I guess it has.
Mercedes has two teeth and I think she may be getting another soon. She had a fever on and off the last day or two (poor thing) with no other symptoms and so I'm just waiting for another tooth to come through.
She's also pretty much crawling now. She hasn't quite gotten down the mechanics of it all but she gets up on her knees and then does a sort of push-up where she's only on her hands and then big toes with her legs straight back behind her. It's quite the sight to see. In the end, she gets where she wants to go.
On a different note, Taylor is turning 26 tomorrow! I love that man so much. He works so hard to support our little family and takes care of us so well. He is the love of my life and makes me the happiest woman.
So I just have to say how EXCITED I am that my family will be home from the Ukraine in nine and a half months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes that's right. They have been on the other side of the world for longer than a full 2 year mission and it has been a LONG time of missing someone, let me tell you. (well 5 people to be exact). AND a month after mom, dad, Morgan and Slade come home, Jordan will be home from his mission in Chile!!!!!!! I can't even tell you how much it feels like a dream come true to actually be with everyone at the same time again. My mom, dad, brothers, sister-in-law and nephew (plus another niece or nephew on the way) . And the five family members who have been gone will finally get to meet Mercedes!
Mercedes looks very pensieve in these two photos.
What else is happening around here? Oh it's starting to get cloudy here and there and I cannot wait for the daily cloud cover. I thrive off of cloudy skies and a little rain. I am also getting really really excited for the fall/Christmas seasons.
My best friend Lacey is having her baby boy in the next few weeks! I'm so sad I won't be in Utah to see her after he's born but I'm so excited for their little family and also that we will both have babies. Taylor and I are trying to figure out how we can get out to Utah sooner than next summer.
Mercedes loves her daddy.
I'm starting to run out of things to say actually. I'm very tired from waking up every hour or so during the night to take Mercedes' temperature just to make sure her fever wasn't coming back. Thank goodness it didn't.
See how Mercedes is crossing her legs in this photo above? She always crosses her legs, so dainty!
Here she is getting up on her knees.
And here she is lounging and sipping from her bottle of water.
Being a parent is so rewarding. I am in love with this little girl. Well I guess that's all for my thoughts. Taylor is home now so I'm going to go spend some time with him before Mercedes wakes up. Have a wonderful Saturday and thanks for reading. :)
