we love dada

It has been 3 weeks since my last day of work, 3 weeks of being roomies with my mom, 3 weeks since spending all day every day with my lil baby...and I LOVE IT! and I really love Justin for giving me this opportunity.

I think most of you know what's going on..but just incase here's a little summary of the past month: shortly after Justin left to go back to Iraq we had a discussion and decided that neither of us were comfortable with Everleigh and me staying at our apartment. We also decided that the best move for everyone would be for me to quit my job and move about an hour north to live with my mom until Justin comes home.

It has been soooooooooo nice to have help with Everleigh and I'm hoping that me being here is helping my mom out as well. I now spend my days reading novels to Everleigh, teaching her sign language, and training for my upcoming marathon...ok, ok, so it's more like watching cartoons (ugh FINE! reality tv), trying to get her to say mama, and it's a HALF marathon..but I have actually started running (which is a huge step for me b/c I flippin HATE running)!!

It's so fun to see how much Everleigh grows and changes everyday! She is a crawling machine now..which means constantly chasing her to remove the breakables from her grasp. She is also finally cutting her first tooth! I'm excited for her to start eating "real" food..although I have discovered that fruit baby food is delicious!

It really makes my day to see her smile and squeak at her dada when she sees him on the computer screen! she is already turning into a daddy's girl! and apparently she has the funniest mommy on the planet..because I'm really good at getting a laugh out of her, which is the BEST sound ever!!!

Ok, here's what you've all been waiting for..the photo portion:
