Wow! 6 months sure does fly these days! I cannot believe Christmas is almost here again and this year I get to share it with 2 of the most important people in my life. I am soo blessed to have such a loving husband and a beautiful baby girl.
Life is a bit crazy right now and I am doing everything in my power to keep on swimming. Alex is working full time at Jet Blue (yeah!) and I am still at Miche Bag full time. Between the two of us we are able to pass Jocelynne back and forth most days, but there are a couple days a week where our schedules overlap and we have to find someone to help us out. Alex's family has been great at helping us out, but I think we are going to have to hire someone --unless I win the lottery, which is REALLY hard to do in Utah!. I am having a very hard time with the fact that I might have to hire a babysitter. For one I feel like I am letting Jocelynne down and I am not fulfilling my obligation as a mother to watch over her. For two I can't afford to pay $60 a week. I would give anything to be at home with her. I pray I will be able to work something out soon.
Speaking of Jocelynne she is getting bigger by the minute! She has her 6 month check up last week and weighed in at 17lbs! She is such a happy girl- most of the time- and LOVES to learn and do big girl things. Her favorite things at the moment are eating whatever I am eating, spitting, saying baba, giving slobbery kisses, putting her binky in her mouth by herself, making friends with strangers at the store, and rolling all over the place! She has been sitting up by herself for a good month or two and had her first big girl bath tonight! Her absolute favorite thing in this world is baths! Her least favorite things are getting her nose wiped, teething, being alone, and falling off the couch. -- you'll have to ask Alex about that one.
