Lucky me

I sometimes often sit back and think about how incredibly lucky I am. On a night like tonight, I have my husband sleeping next to me (which doesnt happen often because of his 2nd shift job and his night owl habbits). I am wathching Brinley on the monitor sleeping soundly in her bed. How did I get so lucky? My life is far from perfect, but I am still able to find emence happiness in my family, and I am so content.

I love being a mom more than I ever imagined that I would. Its not always a walk in the park, but I love it. I love watching Brinley grow and change. Sometimes I feel like there is this indescribable love just bubbling inside of me and my heart may just burst because it is so full. And when one person brings that much fulfillment to your life its hard not to wonder...how DID I get so lucky?

Brandon and I both took some extra days off work after 4th of July to have a 5 day break from work. I am SO glad that I did. Brinley started laughing! It started with just little giggles here and there. It has now evolved into a full out laugh, and it is the sweetest sound I have ever heard. It makes me so happy to hear her being happy.

She prefers to be in the sitting position more now. She loves her bumbo seat and likes to sit while someone supports her back...she like to see whats going on. She has also become obsessed with the TV (not that I am supper excited about that). Today Brandon and I decided to have a date day and while were both getting ready we turned Sesame St on ( don't judge me) and we could hear her in the other room cooing and laughing at Elmo.

She brings such a fullness to my life. She makes mornings my favorite part of the day, She has changed my whole life. Maybe I'm not lucky, maybe I'm blessed. Whatever you call it I am thankful, Very thankful.
