Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentines Day to All! This is my first Valentine's Day with my baby girl - and my best so far! She is so dang adorable that I just can't get enough of her. Not to mention she is quite the love bug - Bryan and I really couldn't be happier. He and I decided we didn't want to brave the restaurant scene tonight as it's sure to be CRAZY out there - plus we don't have a sitter - so we are going to enjoy a nice steak dinner at home. Ellinor and I met up with him for lunch today and enjoyed some quality time. Really, we are pretty entertained just crawling around the floor with Ellinor for our evenings. Hopefully she will at least go to sleep at a decent hour tonight so Bry and I can maybe have a few minutes to ourselves. ;)

My baby turns the big 1 in 10 DAYS!!! I can't believe it! This age is so ridiculously fun that I wouldn't turn back the clock, but it seems like just yesterday I brought our tiny little girl home. While growing up the 'adults' always told me that time flies by, but since having Ellinor I finally agree with them. Next week I will post a blog dedicated to her first year - I will just say for now that I couldn't imagine my life without her. Heavenly Father has allowed me to be her mother and I will do everything I can to be worthy of that in my life.

Funny moment of the day: I was checking my tax information real quick and I noticed how oddly quiet my house was. I went to investigate the current location of Ellinor (which had been right next to me when I sat down) and found her eating half a nutty bar that she had unearthed from the bathroom garbage can. EEEEWWWW...I quickly retrieved the contraband and disposed of it properly, but I'm pretty sure she was able to ingest a decent chunk before I discovered her. Thank goodness her immune system is pretty stellar. LOL!
