Catch up- Link Up

I am linking up with In This Wonderful Life.

I am doing a little Catch Up post...
So I have been so bad about updating this and it really makes me sad!
We have had so much going on and learning to be a mommy has kept me so consumed. 
We seem to spend our weekends playing catchup and trying to enjoy our full days with Willa. 
Here are a few ransoms from the last few weeks. Tomorrow will be a 3 month post!! Baby girl is growing up soooo fast!!! 
Brian's first Fathers Day!! My how she had changed!!!
Such a cutie!!


Enjoying Spending time in Lusby with the Young's!
Willa's first boat ride!!!
Bath time is still her favorite!
Oh the SMILES!!! They get me every time!!! Waking up to this is heaven on Earth!!! I am just waiting for the giggles to start!!!
 
Until next time...
Love from MD!

2 Months Old!

Dear Willa,
You have grown so much in the past month! Your Daddy and I are blown away everyday at the new things you do and the new sounds you make! We are constantly acting completely silly trying to get you to smile at us and love our Saturday and Sunday mornings laying bed with you smiling at us. You love to snuggle up against me in bed and hang on to my shirt so I stay nice and close to you! You bring us such joy everyday and we are lucky to be your parents. We talk about all the fun things we can't wait to be able to do but I don't want you to grow up too fast! You are such a sweet little girl and are very easy going just like both of your parents and we like it that way. Everyone that has met you is so enamored by you and says how perfect you are! That always makes Mommy and Daddy smile! We are so proud of you already and love you so much!

Love you sweet girl,
Your Mama

My Dear Willa,
Oh my little girl! How you have rocked our world! I never knew I could love someone so much! I have so many important people in my life that I love deeply but nothing compares to the love I have for you! You amaze me everyday and have brought me joy I never knew you could experience. You can make me smile and cry instantaneously! You have gotten so big in just a short month! You are more alert too. I am so happy with our little routine and am dreading going back to work. As scary as it will be you have already shown us that you are resilient and I know you will have so much fun one day with all the other kids at daycare. Our days are filled with snuggles and cuddles and now smiles here and there. Your Daddy loves you so much too and comes running through the door to get to you. I never thought I could love your Daddy any more than I did before you were here but to see him be your Daddy has made me love him so much more. He is so gentle with you and worries about you constantly. I know he is so scared of you being a teenager which makes me chuckle. I know you will be sweet little girl even at the age of 16! You have made us so happy and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you. It is a big world out there but I want you to always know you will be safe at home with us!
I love you sweet girl...more than you will ever know(until you have your own children)!
Love,
Your Mama
