It's not always heavenly. It's not always rainbows and butterflies.
Sometimes it's mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausting.
Those of you who are already mommies know exactly what I mean. But you also know that for every not-so-good day you have (you know, the ones that make you question your ability as a parent), one seems to follow it that makes you fall in love with them all over again! Isn't it amazing how God plans it out like that? ;)
We have definitely had our days here lately where we feel like we're at our wits end (Miss Priss was extra fussy this weekend)...but I still wouldn't trade my little Peanut---or being her Mommy---for anything in the world! In the same way God blesses us with these tiny miracles, He also blesses us with the ability, patience, and knowledge needed to parent and nurture them. Thank you, Father!
Even though Reagan's had her fussy times, she also has had some super cute moments, too! Let's check 'em out, shall we? :)
*This chick cracks me up when she sleeps. Her facial expressions and arm movement/placement change every five minutes, and they're all just stinkin' adorable!
*Peanut is definitely a morning baby--always smiling first thing! She likes to go to bed early (around 8:30-9:30pm) and get up around 7-7:45am (with a middle of the night feeding around 4-4:30). Fine by me---as long as we're all getting our sleep in! Mommy needs her beauty sleep, after all! lol
*Since the weather hasn't been quite as humid lately (but still in the 90's), we've been taking baby girl on a few strolls in the neighborhood. She loves it (as do I)! I can't wait till it's officially Fall and the weather is nice enough to be able to do it every day!
*This face. I mean, really. I'm so in love! <3
*Another (slightly blurry) example of her super smiley self in the morning...
*I'm so glad I was able to capture this sweet moment...Reagan sleeping so peacefully on her Daddy's chest. I think he's just a tad bit smitten himself...just a tad ;)
*I call this one "Well pppppttttt to you, too!" lol
*Being a baby is really rough, as you can tell. She had to take a break and catch a little snooze...even though she'd only been up for an hour, lol.
*This one was taken today. It makes me smile from ear too ear! (Sadly, this precious outfit--complete with birdie bib--didn't make it long...it was the victim in a spit-up accident that happened shortly after. So far, it's been outfit #1 of 3, and the day's only half over! lol)
Alright, now that you've gotten your Reagan-fix for the week...time for a stroll with the milk munchkin! As always, thank you all for checking in on us and for continuing to lift us up in prayer! We love y'all! :)
Verse/Thought of the Day: "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33)
If we make God and His plan for us our number one priority,
He will bless us beyond belief!
