I have not been very good at keeping up with this blog lately. Before having Lily, I thought that I would have more then enough time to accomplish many projects and tasks during my maternity leave that I had placed on hold while I was busy with work. Wow, was I wrong! Being a mom is really time consuming, especially when your child does not want you to put them down and would just like to eat and cuddle with you all day. Oh well, I'd rather cuddle anyways!
Some things that have happened this past month are:
The Family, minus Daniel and Gary's families
Wish we could look as attractive as Andrew and Whitney. lol! Andrew and Whitney got married! My little brother got married to a wonderful girl who managed to wait two years while Andrew was serving his mission to marry him. They had a beautiful sealing, and wedding reception and I know that they will have a happy life together. Here are some photos from the event. My brothers came down for the wedding. David for the sealing, and Daniel and Gary for the reception in Sierra Vista. I really miss having my brothers around. They are so awesome.- Lily accomplished a few firsts this past month. She had her first bath, which she loved until it ended. She went on her first outing with mommy and daddy, going on a 4 mile walk at Meet Me at Maynards which we do every Monday. Lily is now starting to notice things and people. She recognizes me when I hold her, which melts my heart! She will smile at me and snuggle between my arm and breast...pretty much my favorite thing in the world! Her grammy Ontiveros got to watch her while Mark and I spent the day together...and I cried...I missed her to much! She had her first night alone with Mark while I went to the Hunger Games premier with a group of friends. Mark did an amazing job watching her and managed to get her to sleep a whole 6 hours! I was very impressed. Lily also managed to have her first explosive diaper (which actually happened today)...and luckily it was mark who was holding her at the time. It was pretty dang funny, especially because mark thought it was sweat at first until I told him it was poop. Our little lady is growing fast, and I am not looking forward to returning to work and leaving her...but at least mark will take good care of her.
Lily's first bath!
Lily's first outing with parents, she loved it despite what the picture says.
I love my little snuggler!
I just can't get enough of her.
I got to see the hunger games...twice. First was the midnight showing with a group of friends from church. We made shirts that turned out pretty sweet and got to enjoy the anticipation of waiting 3 hours till the movie started. The second time I saw it was with Mark and his friend Jonathan. I was worried that they would not like it and make fun of it the whole time, but luckily they liked it. And so did I! In fact I loved it. I felt they did a great job of depicting the characters and adding in only the important pieces of the book. And I loved how they focused on the arena and not so much on the love triangle aspect. Of course there are always going to be things you wish they would have put in the movie based on the book, but if they had, it would have been a 4 hour movie. I also loved the girl who played Katniss, she managed to keep her character as badass as she is depicted in the books. I am excited to see it again.
Not much else has happened other then these things. Lily will be blessed on Easter, so we are looking forward to that, and the county fair is coming up...so we've got some fun stuff to look forward to.
