The park and June's first hair cut.

It's so so nice and warm (60 degrees!). So we've been outside everyday. Yesterday we went to the park with Jess, Cedar and all our little girls. After we got home June and I spent even more time outside and now she's got a little pink face. Sorry June!

Bubble time!!

After we got back, we decided it was time for a much needed hair cut. I've been debating about cutting it because she's too little to be having hair cuts already and Mike's been pretty insistent that he didn't want it cut. He made the mistake though of one time admitting that it was a little crazy- I took that to be a go ahead on cutting it :)

See the before! Long on the sides, rubbed off in the middle, short underneath, and super thin on top. At least it's starting to grow in all over.

Voila! I cut it to the length of the underneath hair, so it's a little shorter than I thought it would be, but it's nice and even, well, compared to the inches in difference before. I like it though. Mike might take some time getting use to it. It was a few months before he finally said he liked my hair short without following it with and except for ...... comment. He's a little weary of change that's not his idea and too honest about his opinions. Love ya Mike.

She's my favorite little buddy.

My entertainment.

I love my job! My days consist of hanging out with June who makes me laugh and smile all day long. She can't really figure out crawling (although she did manage to lift one arm and support on the other to try to get the remote-the great motivator). For now though, June flexes her whole body thinking that'll get her some where. Instead, it just looked like pushups with an occasional movement backwards. She has figured out that she can bounce her way around on her little bum. It's also pretty hilarious to watch. She moves only an inch at a time, but she knows it works. I try to show of her new "tricks," but I think I'm the only one that's super amused by her. (Mike said she looks like she's doing aerobics- I didn't plan the outfit to look like that, I promise)

At my mom's request.

Yes, this blog is becoming a running post of pictures of June. That's about all I blog about, but that's about all my life is and I love it.

June's talking to Grandma. Most my phone calls are made with me holding June and June holding the phone. She loves to listen on speaker phone and gets so excited when she sees me answer. I'm not sure if she understands what's going on, or if she just likes that noise with her name inserted every so often.

June's not crawling yet, but I was surprised to see her stay up when I put her up on her knees. I'm trying to be better and making her have tummy time so she can learn to move, but I really don't mind her not being able to get into things yet.

June has some crazy hair and I have no idea what to do with it. We never do it like this, but I was playing with it trying to get the nerve to cut it. I've gotten her ready to cut it a few times- wet hair and scissors in hand- but then when I get it wet it curls more than usual, I can't bring myself to do it.

Mike had a little fun with her hair.

We love looking outside- and licking the cold window.

Yummm, lasagna.

June loved the noise and stretchiness of little Valentine treat. She wasn't too sure of the taste though. THANKS HAZEL!

And this is just to show how much she's changed! I miss her being so little *sniff sniff*.

SWIMMING!!!

How do you pass the dreadful winter days? Pretend that it's summer!

Cute June

I just wanted to put a few of this little cutie. I just love her. She's slept 9-10 hours the last 4 nights without a single tear and she's ALWAYS happy.

She's got some crazy uneven hair with some long spots in the back. I've been tempted to cut it, but now can't bring myself to since it's showing signs of a little wave or curl.

June HATES tummy time. Instead she sits and jumps (of course with help) like a champ, but hasn't rolled and will take forever to learn to crawl.

I miss getting to feel her soft skin since we're staying bundled up for the winter but don't you just love her little rolls.

She makes this funny puckered-lip face whenever she's gets really excited about something new. It's like she's speechless and she can hardly catch her breath.

June loves sitting in the store carts. She's a little small in there, but hold on to the cart and then bounces the whole time. I love it, I love her, I can't say it enough.

Christmas

Didn't Christmas just fly by too fast? It was a fun first Christmas with June, not that she knew what was going on, but I loved it.

We spent Christmas with my family this year and I HATE leaving. Everyone lives within a mile or two of each other except us. So it makes me sad to feel like I'm missing out on growing up together.

Here's June catching up on some reading during the ride down to my parents'.

For Dessa's birthday we enjoyed some pedi's, thanks for taking me along.

Presents and pictures with the Sorensen cousins.

Christmas Eve- I could have put up a better picture with us in it too, but I just love all her crazy expressions. Sometimes I feel like June looks up at me and is just thinking, "Mom, you're crazy."

Mike was so excited about the fan gear that he got for us.

Daily life

Hopefully I'll get Christmas pictures posted soon, but this is what we've been up to.

I tired to get a good picture of June's eyes. We have no idea what color they'll end up, but sometimes they're blue, sometimes they're hazel with only a blue ring. I hope they stay this way, a little of Mike's, a little of mine.

June LOVES playing with Mike, we wish he could be home all day everyday.

Sometimes we head back to bed after waking up too many times and too early. One morning I heard June waking up, so I went out to find her sitting like this. Don't you love her expression?

I try to get things done, whether it's cleaning, projects or cooking, but it usually takes me a day for one of those. How do some women do it?

We love to watch the weather!!

Bouncers are AMAZING! June goes crazy in there and loves to jump even when she's not in there.

Mmmmm. Lately June has tried to lunge at my food when I'm holding her and bringing food to my mouth. I've gotten the feeling that she's very ready to eat. Over Christmas she was loving all the pickles, homemade jam, crackers and other things we would give her. As for the rice cereal, she's not quite sure what to think.

And today we're fighting a cold. I promise she doesn't look this sad, she had just woke up and the flash was bright. She had a rough time trying to sleep last night, so she ended up spending the night in the swing to be propped up. After finally getting a few hours of sleep, her poor nose had dripped and crusted over. Now it's back to running constantly and she cries whenever I give it a wipe. She's still pretty happy, so it just breaks my heart watching her put up with the cold.
