"The Lady in Red"

My grandma passed away February 22, and it was such a blessing. She has not been well for a very long time, so it was nice that she is no longer suffering. She was always such a great example to me, and taught me many wonderful and important lessons through her actions. She loved to serve others and always did so with a smile. One thing I will never forget is her smile and attitude that nothing is impossible. I love her, and miss her. A challenge was given to my family at her funeral, and that was to live our lives in a way so that her legacy will live on. And live up to her expectations of us, as she wanted nothing but the best and for us to be happy by doing what was right.

Fun changes...

My Dad is good to remind me OFTEN that as Aniston gets older, she is more and more fun. It's hard to remember that as I look through her old clothes and as she gets more and more personality. She has changed so much in the past month, and it's hard to remember everything. She sits up really well, has TWO teeth, waves with her palm forward instead of up like a lot of babies, she says "Dada", holds onto her pants and "helps" me pull them up, and the list could go on. It's been amazing to watch her learn new things. She's so smart, and full of spunk. My parents told me her personality is a lot like mine, something I DIDN't want(sassy is the best way to describe it). I love her little personality, and love that I can be home with her to watch all these FUN things. My favorite is how sweet she is, and that she still loves to cuddle. She gives the most adorable hugs and big WET kisses. My aunt held her the night my Grandma died and the first thing Aniston did when my aunt picked her up, was to give her a big hug and kiss. She is such a sweetheart, and we LOVE her!!

once upon a time...

I knew it!!!

I knew it, I just knew it!! Aniston has one tooth that has come through and another that is trying to poke through. They are the bottom front teeth, and I am SOO excited. That explains ALL the fussiness and drooling and of course don't forget the boogie nose. She is growing up so fast, and I am so glad to be home with her and enjoy EVERY second of it!!
