We've been parents for half a year! ;)

And Hayden has cut her first tooth! OH MY! She has been fighting sleep, cranky, and refusing to eat lately and now we know why! I tried to take a picture... maybe you can see it! She is growing so quickly! Not quite crawling yet, who knows, she may never crawl. She is trying to sit up on her own but she hasn't figured it out. We are trying cloth diapers on her little tush! They are a little aggrivating because I am new at it... but hey I am not giving up yet! I love how eco friendly they are... how much better they are for their bottom, and in the long run they save tons of money! Justin was not too for it at first but he has been somewhat supportive lately. I just wish everyone was more supportive towards them. They are not "too much work" and I will do what is best for my family! :) I am also trying to get in better shape and that is tough right now. P90X is kicking my butt! But I can't wait to look "good" again! I'm sticking to it! BRING IT!

Our Valentines

So our Valentines has already been truly special! We celebrated it early because Justin will be working on the actual day. Now, Justin usually does not like holidays but he went far beyond what I could have asked for... not only did I get some beautiful Tulips and the sweetest card ever but he even got Hayden a First Valeantines card, 2 books, and a baby doll... THEN took us on a picnic in Glencairen Gardens.

We had such a good time and the weather was perfect. We layed out a blanket and had sub sandwiches, took pictures, and just enjoyed our special family time. I could not have asked for a better time! He is such a sweet husband and such a wonderful daddy to Hayden. I love my family! Of course, I have to share the pictures, well, some!

Another month goes by...

My Hayden is growing so fast! I am waiting for the day she gets up and starts walking and getting into everything! I love being able to stay at home with her and watch every milestone! I also, however, enjoy working on Tuesday evenings to keep my head straight! I love what I do and that they have a nursery there if I need to bring Hayden. She is doing great with her solid foods and getting her tummy time. So far she loves sweet potatoes!

She loves baths, that is for sure - it is her fun time! We will put her on her tummy in the tub with a rolled up towel and she will just kick and play with toys! It is so cute!
She usually sleeps great through the night, sometimes getting up around 4am, but that is still a good schedule to me - it isn't every 2 hours thankfully! She is still nursing which I do enjoy and plan to keep it up for a while longer! I would like to continue to 9 mos unless she disagrees of course. Luckily she has yet to be sick! I really don't know what I will do when she does. I guess just be there and comfort her :/

Oh, so I think I am going to take her to the Library on Monday mornings. A fellow mommy on YCM told me that they have a time where they read and blow bubbles and etc. so I think she would have fun and it would be getting her out, around other people, and it is free! I also want to take her to the theatre in downtown York. I think that she would do great in there and they have a balcony, I can feed her... we will see I guess. So, FYI-yourk county mommies (YCM) is an online network for mommies in the area and they have great support forums and great advice. I have also been to several playdates and met some good friends... We took this pic earlier today - sooo cute.

Bowater is currently doing shut downs/lay offs so Justin has been home more - well until now that he is back working 16hr days!!!! That is tough but I am so thankful that we are blessed with that job still. And for me to have the ability to stay home and raise our little girl and know and trust we will be okay with Justin supporting us is absolutely reassuring and rewarding! Over all, we sure put our trust in God! Oh btw, today is his b-day -BIG 25! LOWER INS. BABY!

Once apon a time...

...there was a young girl who met a young boy and they fell in love. That is how our story begins.
So a little background, Justin and I met in 2005 at a rodeo through my best friend of 8+ years and now is my sister in law who married Eric, Justin's brother. (cute, huh?) Justin and I dated, went seperate ways, and after some time tried it again. 3 months later we were engaged and head over heels for each other. July 29, 2006, 7 months following, we were introduced as Mr and Mrs Justin Timmons as we had made our commitment to each other for the rest of our lives. Who knew it would be this good! December 07 we were estatic to find out we had a little one on the way. Aug 29th 2008 5:53am, Our beautiful daughter Hayden Ann was born - 7 lbs 14 oz PERFECT!
