Happy Happy New Years!

Oh hey 2014! Where did you come from?!
I seriously cannot believe it is almost January 1st and another new year is about to begin! 
2013 was a year filled with so many blessings, that I truly cannot
 wait to see what 2014 has in store for us! 

I have never been one to make new years resolutions and don't intend to start this year.
I just try to live each day one day at a time
and whatever happens, happens. 

So what happened in 2013…

I began by ringing the New Year in with good company and a special bundle brewing inside me.
I sadly left my first real job as a dental hygienist,
but gladly so I could move back home and deliver/raise my daughter close to family. 
I became a first-time home owner.
I survived an entire nine months being pregnant,
delivered a beautiful healthy little girl,
and became a mom.
I turned 27.
I went to Colorado to see/help take care of my Grandma while she was in the ICU. 
(And by Gods wonderful grace, she is getting better each and every day! We love you Grandma!!)
Lastly, I celebrated this holiday season by watching my daughter experience her 
first Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

What a wonderful and blessed life! 

With that being said, I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe New Years eve 
and that 2014 is everything you could hope for! 

Here are some pictures of us during the holiday season!

Spoiled cutie in her Christmas Jammies

Wt: 14 lbs 2 oz (50%) Ht: 24 3/4 in (50%)

So now that Tegan is four months old, she has: 
Rolled over from front to back, as well as back to front.
Prefers to be upright instead of laying down, so she can look around. 
Chats up quite a storm.
Went on her first airplane ride. 
Sleeps in the playard section of her pack-n-play. 
Uses her little abs to try and sit-up, yet she is nowhere near sitting on her own. 
Is getting better with her hand-eye coordination.
Reaches for things and most always brings them to her mouth to suck/chew on.
