Sunny Day

What is this green stuff?

I'm loving all this sun time we have been getting lately, we spend all afternoon outside!!!  Scarlett isn't too sure about grass yet, but will play on a blanket for hours.  I've been looking at kiddie pools lately - thinking we need one for the summer.  I can picture it now - Sipping on Passion tea lemonade  with my feet in the pool; sounds perfect to me.

Letters to Sweet Scarlett

My Sweet Scarlett you are turning 10 months,  a lot has changed in the past few months.  We have moved miles and miles away from home to make a new home.  Daddy took a job so he could spend more time with you and me; and I am so happy he did.  With that new job came a lot of change... and you have been such a champ about it.  This past month we moved into our new house, and it didn't even bother you one bit. I for sure thought that first night in your new room was going to be full of tears, but we kissed you goodnight, put you in bed and you were out. I was so proud of you.

In life Change is inevitable, you cannot avoid it.  Things change everyday, technology is changing, medicine is changing, people are learning new ways to do things (better ways to do things).  Some people cannot handle change,  it sends them in a huge panic when they have to learn something new.  I hope and pray your attitude towards change never changes (ha ha) but Seriously sweet girl.  You should never fear change, whether its a new house, a new city, our a new school embrace that change. Think of all the new people you wouldn't have met otherwise.  All the new friends you will make, the new things you will see and learn.

You can also be the reason things change, you changed your daddy and I's world when we found out we were expecting a little bundle of joy. You changed my heart forever when I felt you kick the first time, and again when I held you for the first time.   I look at you and your sweet personality and you already have such a drive in you (Example: Walking - you were determined to walk this past month), I know without a doubt you will change the world around you, I see it and I believe it.  I'm thankful that God has allowed your daddy and I to care for you, teach you of His ways, Love you, and Encourage you.  So one day you can be the light that this world needs to change.   I see a strong woman in you Scarlett, and I'm so excited to see what amazing things you will do in this life!

Thankful I get to be apart of it.

Happy 10 months Sweet Scarlett

Remember I love you. Always

Mamma

P.S. Ten month pictures were taken with a bowl of cheerios in front of you, taking your pictures are becoming harder to do without daddy around and using a fixed lens (I guess I better bring out my lens that zooms in and out).  

Our life through the iPhone

Our week was full of outside fun, walking, yoga, good food and a fun fishing store.  O and more snuggles.

Sweet little Chubby Feet

I have been wanting to paint my sweet girls toes since the day she was born but I held off for almost 10 months.  Look at those sweet Chubby Feet of hers!!

Daddy and his Mango

Whatcha got there?!?!?! Mango?

Every night for the past week these two have shared a mango, it's pretty stickin cute!  We have been watching the show Lost (I know catch up with the times already- but we don't have Cable so Netflix is what we watch).  Anyway there is a running joke in our house now about being lost on an island - like if you could only have one thing.  The other day i asked Felix if he could only eat one fruit for the rest of his life what would it be... he said Papaya or Mango, I think that is true for Scarlett as well.  If you let her she would eat the whole Mango by herself, Felix makes her share or maybe she makes him share.  I"m not sure about all the details but they get cozy in the living room and eat an entire mango in minutes.  

Here is one from the other night... they didn't even make into the living room

We only have one Mango left, I guess I better go get some more!!!

Our Life Through the iPhone

Last week was full of Sunshine, Boxes :(, Coffee and a lot of snuggles! Scarlett fell asleep on me three different times last week. :)

Fun in the Sun

So lately my life has been consumed with boxes! LOTS OF BOXES!!  and packing paper!  Poor Scarlett was feeling a little left out I think, so I woke up today and said I am not touching a single box today.  What a perfect day to decide that too, it's like God knew we needed a break.  So after afternoon naps (yes we both took a nap and it was AWESOME!).  We had a snack and while I was cleaning up I found Scarlett basically trying to climb outside through the window.

Hey Mama do you think we can go outside?

SOOO we headed outside to explore our new backyard.  We were outside for probably two hours, and it was a blast.  I love our new backyard and I can't wait for spring and summer to get here. I for-see some major Shenanigans going on back there. Also my mom makes Scarlett the cutest headbands!
