Julia 4 e 1/2

p.s. she is crying on picture number 4 because she doesn't like to put clothes on after baths. Basically she cries after every bath, just when i start putting clothes on!! Any suggestion as to how to take that trauma away are all very welcome!

Pictures!

Our little girl turned 3 months on the 10th! We are loving her each day more! Isn't she beautiful??!!!

3 years of pure bliss ;)

Yesterday Neval and I completed 3 years of marriage and the first with our little one! At lunch time Neval surprised me with a photo booklet (a booklet where the photos are printed directly on the pages) telling the story of the most recent consequence of our marriage, Julia!! To me one special aspects of his gift was the fact that he ordered it in mid July, and for my husband who does EVERYTHING last minute I was really honored! On the other hand, I who usually do things before hand, set out 'on the day of' desperate, trying to find something special and meaningful,but came up with a nice wallet...at least he seemed to like it!
We went out to our favorite restaurant in town Bartz and enjoyed a wonderful meal! Tia Reesha babysat since the restaurant is next door to her house and any emergency we wouldn't be far. It was a wonderful day, and made me reflect once more, upon how happy I am with my choice of a husband and what a wonderful guy he really is!! He is so thoughtful and is always finding new ways to please me, which in consequence makes me find new ways to please him!! I praise God for our marriage!!

Daddy brought home yesterday a surprise for baby Julia! I don't know the name of it, but we could tell she really liked it. The middle object is a mirror, and we laughed so hard the first time she saw it because she immedietly started smiling at it and making goo sounds to it as you'll see in the video!

sound asleep

Since last Friday, my in-laws have been staying with us. The reason is that my father-in-law will have to go through a delicate surgery this next Monday(please keep him in your prayers), and since they live out in a farm, we thought best they stay in the city for security reasons. Anyway, while I was rushing around helping the cleaning lady with the house, my in-laws were so kind as to take care of my little girl. At one point, this is how I found all three of them in the living room...it was too sweet to pass!

enjoying my baby!

In these 2 months and 19 days of being a mom, I have 3 daily goals: 1) make my bed, 2) wash the lunch dishes, and most importantly 3) enjoy every second with my little Julia! I confess that they're not easy goals either, and I call them 'goals' because they don't happen naturetly, I have to work on them daily. Every morning I remind myself (while staring at my dirty house), that this fase will also pass, and soon I'll be looking at pictures and remembering how little my baby was, and how wonderful it was to have her in my arms. So I hold her even closer, give her lots of kisses and ignore all the mess that I know I don't have time to clean. But today I'm extra happy because besides enjoying my little girls, at this very moment there is a lady cleaning my house!!! Hurray!!! Which means I can sit here with no guilt and know that at least someone is working!! lol!
