Lets catch up

Thank god for parents who got us a new camera. I was freaking out about all these "lost" moments, but we're back! So, here's what new. You can see from the pics that not only is her personality is coming out in droves, but her little fat rolls too! Still so spunky and a little scary at times (she tries to bite when angry... odd), but so sweet and affectionate too. I can't say that life is getting any less chaotic, or that laundry is now done on time, and that I no longer forget what I'm saying mid-sentence. I can't say that Matt and I never biker about who has what night feeding and that my body is back to pre-preggers shape. However, what I can say is that I've found peace in giving up on trying to obtain a "normal" life or be super woman and have redefined what I perceive as one. In fact, I have found that "normal" can be horribly boring and something that I would never want to go back to because I would miss all of this.....

Jax now does the splits and hangs on both sides of her bed when I place her in her bed for a nap. She also rocks the thing so violently that we're going to have to move her in a real crib ASAP before she hurls over the edge.

Still the first born.
First day at the rose gardens! She loved the smells and successfully pulled off all the petals to every flower she touched. Opps!

Matt... loving the front pack and showing her the world. I still have to yell at him to put her down. She is so going to get anything she wants from him!

Mom and Jax reading "OK" magazine. Matt and I don't do the TV thing because we're trying to give her every opportunity at learning rather than just being a zombie ( she needs every chance she can, we were both in special reading classes! ) so this was moms compromise.

Jax already trying to be one of the girls.

Love love all those rolls and red hair.. I hope it never changes.

Spending a ton of time in the pool this summer. Jax is loving time with her cousins and would live in the water if she could. What to do in the winter?

There are just no words for this one... too much sun?

So this is all my normal. Plus, all the piles of not done laundry, floors needed to be swept, and documents to be filed and put away. I'm adjusting and belly laughing through all of it. xoxo
