I cannot believe it's been an entire year since my father passed away.... I remember it just like yesterday- I thought it was a normal day going to school... little did I know my life will be forever changed. I miss you Dad like crazy everyday of my life... Everything I do I do for you and I hope I am making you proud... Our lives are forever changed sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse, and although I still think your on a work vacation and your going to be coming back, deep down I know the next time I will see you is in heaven. But your alive in our hearts. I miss you so much... Thank you for everything... Thank you for keeping us strong... Thank you for providing for our family the entire time. Thank you for watching over us. Thank you for my beautiful, healthy, and happy daughter.. I love you Dad..

Shower Time with Daddy!!!

Scarlett offcially slept through the night on Monday- although I believe it was a tease because she didn't do it last night. I took her to the doctors Monday because I thought something was wrong- she just wasn't herself, but the doctor told me she was fine.. She now weighs a wopping 8 pounds 12 ounces! She gained 9 ounces in one week! My porkie pig!!! Yesterday Jeff and I decided to put her in the shower with Jeff.. She ABSOLUTELY loved it!!!! She is beginning to smile at me and Jeff espeically when we smile at her! And she giggles too!! Here are some pictures of our beautiful happy little Scarlett.

So precious.

Scarlett LOVES when her Daddy plays with her!!! All smiles!

My little porky pig!!! 8 pounds 12 ounces!!

She smiles when Daddy kisses her!!! So cute!

"Daddy, you're weird."

She would make the funniest faces when the water hit her head.

"0h- that feels good."

Scarlett lookin' up to her Daddy!

"hmmm... what's that on my butt?"

She's tottally smiling in this picture.






First getting into the shower!!!

Nothing new has been going on with Scarlett. The cold in her eye has been getting worse- so now i'm really going to have to start using those eye drops- I just hate doing it becuase it's so hard. Her latest development is hearing her voice and occasionally a giggle and smiles! She is so strong at lifting her head and keeping it steady for a pretty long time!!! Not to mention she has a death grip!!! And she absolutely loves being naked. She calms down right away!! She has been sleeping better and better every night. She usually falls asleep around 8:45 or 9 pm and sleeps until about 2 or 3am now!!! Anyone say sleeping through the night soon?! HAha I hope so. Wishful thinking. Jeff and I decided to get tattoos on Saturday. Spur of the moment type of deal. We got such a great deal with them that they were basically free! I got Scarlett's actual foot prints (shurnken to size of course) with her name (Sorry Mom) and Jeff got a spiderweb on his elbow. He wanted to get Scarlett'sname but he settled for his web that he's been wanting FOREVER! Anyways here are a few pictures from the better half of the last week!!!

In Daddy's lap at Rich's and Laura's in her new dress!

check out those boobies! haha

Scarlett loves being naked! Oh nO!

Hmmm... What's that??

She is notrious for eating her hands when she's hungry!!!

Half of a smile? Maybe???

She is amazed by the butterfly, EVERYTIME!

Newest Tattoo- my daughters ACTUAL foot prints (shrunken of course) The detail is so amazing and I absolutely love the writing. Sorry Mom!

One Month Old!

Scarlett is offically one month old today!! Where did time go?! I can't believe it. She went to the doctor today and she is a wopping 8 pounds 3 ounces and 21 1/4 inches long!! Geeze! She's getting so big-growing in front of our eyes littearly. She had her second series of Hep. B shot today. And she took it like a champ!!! It was sad watching the needle go in and listening to her cry one big yelp and that was that- but on the other hand it isn't so sad because in the long run I am protecting her from a life of pain.. I have came across the fact that she is an aries- right dead in the center aries- no way around it whatseover. Aries are the EXACT opposite of Libras. Aries are high strung. I am really curious to see if this is true with her and if it is I am in for it!! And if it is true I know it's my dad playin' a joke on me! Just kidding. She gets more beautiful by the minute. I love it. She is starting to look at herself in the mirror alot more. And I swear I heard a laugh come out of here ONCE- while I was crying. Probably telling mommy to stop being so dramatic. She loves the rattle too. Finally we get to bring toys into her life!!! Here are some pictures of today:

She has sleeping habits like her mommy! Haha

Happy Mothers Day Mom!

Happy Mothers Day to the most amazing woman alive. I know this is a day late. She is the strongest person I know. And I thank her for that. I thank you mom for everything especailly for the gift of life you gave me. Thank you for being my mom, my friend, my crying shoulder, my listener, my support, my everything. Thank you for molding me into the person I am today, teaching me along the road, helping me correct my wrongs, for the endless nights of sleep you lost, being the most understanding person there is, and for being the mom that we all know we can go to. I hope I can be half the mother to Scarlett as you were to me. I love you.

Here are some more pictures that I promised you from over the past 3 weeks.
