Big stuff

Wrapped up like a burrito with Daddy

My cloth diaper! It's going pretty good!

I'm getting good at sleeping. Mommy and Daddy are getting better at learning my cries, too!

On this day last year Ashley called me at the office, crying. I thought she was crying because she got back the results of the pregnancy test, we both thought it would come back negative, so I was a little surprised by the tears. She barely uttered I'm pregnant. To which I responded for the whole office to hear Shut up! Then I jumped in the car drove to where she was and asked her to confirm what I thought she had said, and she said in fact yes she is pregnant. We cried, we laughed, and man has a lot changed in a year!

Bliss is doing something new

Go figure Bliss is doing something new. Ashley will put her hands around Bliss' torso, and Bliss will take steps towards Ashley, or towards what she wants. She is also getting very good at bringing things to her mouth. She also watches Ashley and I eat. She will be trying cereal later this week. She is getting big, ready to walk, ready to eat, and is jabbering to us all the time, or to anyone who will talk to her.

2 Posts in One Day...What's Going On

While on the way home from Cincinnati Saturday evening, Bliss was tired, and well cranky. However, whenever the boys would sing to her she would smile and laugh. Then a few minutes later be upset to have the boys sing to her again and she again would smile, laugh and be happy, for a few minutes, then we would repeat the whole process.

Yes, she is boy crazy, and she loves those boys to death. I am glad most of them have a baby sister, or little sister at home and knew what to do to make Bliss happy. What great boys!

It Finally Happened...and Ashley was pumped!

This weekend Ashley and I went to CiY Super Start event in Cincinnati, with 7 pre-teen kids, oh, and Bliss. We were the lone adults on the trip, and Bliss loved the attention. After we returned Saturday night, we were tired, and Bliss was even more tired. We were not looking forward to Daylight Savings happening that night and losing an hour of sleep on top of the crazy weekend. Plus, Bliss doesn't do well at night when she is that tired.

But, to our surprise, she slept straight through the night. Ashley was pumped. She then slept for 2 and half hours Sunday afternoon, and fell asleep during the walk shortly following her nap. She fell asleep in the car as we returned the van. Then didn't want to eat before bed, or have anyone put her to sleep.

What she wanted was to be layed down so she could sleep. We put her to bed last night, and she went down on her own, and didn't get up til 6am this morning, and then went right back to sleep.

Was it the trip, or is it Daylight Savings, or both. We don't know, but we do know we have a sleepy girl on our hands.

Thursday I was at work and Ashley calls me to inform me our daughter laughed out loaud for the first time. I came home from work, which was for 15 minutes until we headed out the door for KY to visit the new niece, Hannah Elizabeth, Ashley tried to get Bliss to laugh out loud. But she was having none of it.
Thursday afternoon we are at the hospital outside the nursery and Bliss laughed out loud for me to hear. She has the cutiest laugh. My new hobby is going to try and capture it on video, or at the very least audio.
