Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

Baby in the Home

How I love this new little baby. She's just perfect. She gets constantly smothered in kisses, and not just from mom. The girls dish them out too. She's quite a little roller now. She can roll both ways, but she goes a lot faster from her back to her front than the other, which makes her mad. She doesn't want to be stuck on her tummy, so if she's ready for a nap I can tell because she will quickly roll onto her tummy and be quite angry. She rolled over from her front to her back a little over a week ago with me coaxing her with a toy.

Here's my Brother, Matthew, with Rebecca.
Nathan thought he'd hit the same pose as Rebecca. The open mouthed smile.
I made Rebecca this little headband, but she wasn't exactly a cooperative model at the moment.
I adore babies in cute, little, pink, frilly dresses. The frillier the better. I love to dress the girls up in more "formal" dresses that I certainly couldn't get away with walking into church. :) That does bring a funny picture to mind. :P

I love this picture. She must think that the ribbons on her different dresses are tasty, because she is always bringing them to her mouth.

She really started studying her different toys last week. This rattle is her favorite. It's so easy to get ahold of.

She fell asleep with her thumb in her mouth. She regularly falls asleep on the floor. I feed her when she wakes up, play with her and then put her on the floor while I get something done. Did I mention that she is a really good baby? She is. And a lot of the time she just falls asleep right there. She wiggled mostly off of her blanket and she had her thumb in her mouth. Usually she tries fitting her whole fist in there.

The lighting wasn't good because it was dark outside, but she's even smiling for me before bed. I was putting her to bed and had to come back into the living room to get the boppy, this is when Nathan took the picture.
