Flashback Friday

Flashback to July 16, 2014 and our little baby's first photo shoot at one day old. Excuse how Jason and I look. We were exhausted.

October

Fall is here! October is here! This is the first time in probably almost 10 years that I don't have any Halloween decorations up yet. Having a baby makes it hard to do anything, especially find time to decorate my house the way I want to. Since Jason and I have the weekends off together now, I might be able to do it here soon.

Lenore is almost 12 weeks old. My how the time flies. I know I said that in my last semi-lengthy post, but it's crazy how fast she grows. Sometimes I look at her and she looks like a little girl instead of a baby to me. Slow down, time!

I'm looking forward to enjoying the fall festivities with my little family. Jason and I really want to take Lenore to a pumpkin patch. She may be a bit young, but so what. We're also still trying to decide what we're going to be for Halloween. We had it figured out, but then Jason came up with another cute idea so, we're on the fence. Lenore probably has about 15 Halloween outfits (onesies, etc.) and I'm looking forward to being able to have her wear one almost every day in October. Now that it's getting colder, I'm enjoying getting to bundle her up more.

I'm going to try and start updating more often again. Being back at work during the week and then spending time with the family during the weekend doesn't leave me with a ton of opportunities for posting. Poor excuse, I know.

I just realized that I never posted any of Lenore's newborn photos on the blog. I'll do that tonight. I really want to get some 3 month photos taken of her soon. I should probably get on that before I blink and she's 6 months old [insert HUGE sigh here].

Be still my heart

I can literally stare at this beautiful face day long. I love her so much. 

One Month

I can't believe that it's been one month since Lenore was born. The time has flown in a way that I've never experienced. My friends that have children warned me that this would happen. That she would change in a blink of an eye. That time would seem to pass faster, no matter what I did to hold on to it. I am trying to relish every single moment so that I can burn them into my memory. 

Two Weeks

Today marks two weeks that our sweet Lenore has graced us with her presence. I can't believe it's been two weeks already. I find myself constantly staring at her in awe and wondering how my husband and I created such a perfect creature. She is literally the most beautiful thing I have ever laid my eyes on.

She looks so much like Jason. She has his nose, his jet black hair, and his ears. She has my eye shape and my butt chin (her chin is much cuter than mine, however). She has lovely long fingers and toes. I'm pretty sure her eyes are going to be brown, but they're a dark slate color right now. I can't wait to see how they'll change in the next few months.

It's so funny, when I sat down to type this, I had so much more that I wanted to say. However, I've been distracted by watching my daughter sleep and listening to her little coos as she dreams about whatever babies dream about. So, I'll have to update again at a later time.

She's Here!

Lenore Louise made her debut on Tuesday, July 15 at 5:45pm. She weighed 8 lbs. and measured 19.5 inches.

Jason and I couldn't be happier. She is so beautiful.

I'll update with her birth story soon. 

The Nursery

I haven't gotten a chance to post photos of the nursery yet so, I figured I'd better do it now.
