Project 52:6 SNUGGLES

One of my FAVORITE things in the whole wide world are snuggles from my baby girl!

She usually gives me snuggles in the morning when she first wakes up. This morning she was crawling all around and I asked Ellie "Where are my snuggles" She crawled right over to me and laid her head on my chest. It was the sweetest thing ever!

This picture is from last weekend. I thought she was done with her nap so I got her out of my crib and she feel back asleep on my chest! I got a good 20 or 30 minutes of snuggles and loved every second.

Project 52:5 - No Hands

Ok ok.. I know I am WAY behind. I seem to always get behind on EVERYTHING when Jeremy is on an in-patient month. February he was on OB which means that he worked 17 days straight before he had a day of. He would get up at 4:30am and get home around 6:30pm. He is now on an elective month so things are going much better. :)

Ellie is growing like crazy and is more and more fun everyday. Her new favorite thing is "No Hands". She Stands herself up, lets go, and puts her hands in the air for balance. Whenever she does this we always cheer and say "no hands" and she gets this super proud look on her face. I know this not the greatest picture (out of focus/taken on my iphone) but I still love it anyways.

Project 54:4 - sick sick sick

So I am already falling a little behind. Between Jeremy, Ellie and I one of us have been sick for the past few weeks. Poor litttle Ellie had her first trip to the ER so she could get some help breathing :(


I took a look at my night stand the other morning and if this doesn't say sick, then I don't know what does.


Thankfully we are on the mend and aside from this lingering cough back to normal.

Project 52:3... OH $#*%!!!!!

Don't let that happy, cute little face fool you... look what is dripping ALLLLLLL over down below! Yes, that is exactly what you think it is! Happy Monday morning to me!

Project 52:2...on the move

This last week was a busy week, but a really fun week. Last Wednesday we flew up to Northern CA on Wednesday to celebrate Christmas with Jeremy's family. We were in Turlock for 2 days then went to my parents for one night and flew back on saturday morning because Jeremy had to work on Sunday.

Ellie did great on the plane, especially since it was past her bed time and the flight was empty so she got her own seat and slept the whole way! Watching her sleep she looked so peaceful and it made me realize what a BUSY baby she is these days! She is constantly on the move crawling, pulling herself up, trying to stand with no hands, bouncing bouncing bouncing. She is such a determined and motivated little thing.

Project 52

WOW time flies… apparently it has been a while since my last blog… like over a year and a half! I didn’t even realize how long it had been until I went to post this!

Since then SO much has happened! We have a beautiful 6 month old, Jeremy is almost done with residency (6 more months) and life is just treating us well! For the first time in a long time I can truly say I love my life!

While I obviously have not been blogging, I have been very inspired by other people’s blogs. I bought a sewing machine and started sewing, I made a wreath, I have been baking and cooking, I read my DSLR manual and am starting to take more “fancy” pictures. I love that creative people share their creative ideas so that I can be inspired and pretend to be crafty and creative myself!

That being said, one of my favorite blogs http://www.styleberryblog.com/ (by my friend Shawna that I went to high school with) is doing “Project 52”. Because time goes by WAY too fast and life just gets busy, I want to start blogging again as a reminder to stop and consciously remember all the little things. My goal is to take a picture once a week that represents what is going on in our lives.

This picture was taken on Monday. Never would guess that she got her 6 month shots about 15 minutes before this picture was taken, she is such a happy baby! “Da-da” (Ellie’s favorite and only word) had to work all night so we stayed for dinner. While we ate, Ellie crawled and explored. She loves trying to pull herself up and has been successful a few times.

Jeremy is OFFICIALLY a second year resident

Today Jeremy graduated from being an intern and officially became a second year resident. This means that he should start working fewer hours and may get to have a social life again. This past year he spent over 70 nights at the hospital and averaged 80 hour work weeks. We have a few things planned for the summer like a trip to Palm Desert, camping at the beach and a surprise weekend for our anniversary. We are really looking forward to spending some quality time together hanging out and relaxing.


Here are some pictures from graduation today.
