I have just been soaking up every second with my little Ezzie Bean that my blog that I solemnly swore to update regularly is full of cobwebs and dust! So much has happened that I haven't wrote about- her sweet smile, her duck cries, rolling over, laughing, hand nomming, and of course the sweet conversations we have every morning! She is still a little diva- she loves being held and walking around. She especially LOVES shopping- she can't get enough! I feel like when I pick something out I should be asking her opinion because she is so interested. Also, our little bean is a strong one! I honestly don't remember a time she didn't hold her head up or support her weight on her little chicken legs. Now she is rolling over, lifting her head at a 90 degree angle, and almost sitting up on her own! I can't get over how proud I am of her. Whenever she reaches a milestone I get a huge surge of pride- thats my baby! Seriously- how awesome is she?!
The holidays are approaching and although Esme won't even be 4 months old, I can't help but buy her gifts. I mean, "Santa" can't help it! I've already (unfortunately?) done the vast majority of my holiday shopping and wrapping, and although I am sad I am almost done shopping, my tree looks awesome! Jacob and I will be going to Oklahoma City for New Years and we are excited to get there! Not so excited for the 14 hour (witha baby) drive there and back! We had a nice little Thanksgiving here with Tessa, Amy, and my Mom. All the fixings plus 5 (yes, count 'em- 5) desserts!
So how is my diet doing? Oh clearly fantastic. NOT! Everyday I tell myself, "I am giving up sweets!" and everyday I feast on some sugary substance, its awful! I blame the breastfeeding. I mean, I've always had a sweet tooth, but my cravings are worse now than ever- including pregnancy. Note to self: talk to LLL leader and my Lactation Consultant.
Now I am off to bed and snuggle with my sweet baby for a few minutes. We have a long drive to Evansville and back to take Tessa home. Very sad, it was a nice visit and we wish she could live closer. Maybe one day...
