"That Mom"

I had a suggestion to write about Lainey's firsts. As I thought about this more, I discovered that I have become "that mom". Let me clarify....For a long time, Jared and I didn't even know if we wanted kids. I watched moms that posted lots of pictures of their kids, told stories all about the kids, thought everything their kids did was so special or based their schedule around their kids. At the time, I didn't understand. I said to myself, "If I ever have kids, I'm not going to be that mom". When and if we were ready to have kids I thought I'd be this laid back, fun loving, unchanged mom. When things didn't quite go as planned when we decided it was time to have a family, I think something changed in me. I appreciated everything about my pregnancy from the little movements to the aches and pains and relentless nausea. Needless to say, now that Lainey is here, I appreciate every moment and every little thing. (If you can't tell by my constant picture posting on Facebook). I have become "that mom" whose world revolves around their child-and I couldn't be happier. So, to get to my point, I can't possibly write one blog post about Lainey's firsts because everything she does is so cool and fun and new. I hope this wasn't too mushy or deep for you, as I'd like to keep these posts lighthearted and fun!!

A Few Fun Firsts

First Sunglasses-isn't she cool?

First roll onto her side (that I caught).

First taste of peaches-do you think she likes them?

You can't see it, but she has her first tooth. Found it poking out yesterday!
