3 Months

Sorry, i'm so far behind of my blog updates!  It seems that when i get my pictures downloaded to the computer and open the internet...penny will start crying.  Lately we have been working on self soothing.  She's getting a little better each day but still really wants to nap with me.  Note to all expecting mothers: start your baby out by taking naps on their own right away!!!  Its so cute to hold penny while she's asleep but now she's totally addicted to it.  great.  oops.  its literally been something i pray about every day...momma's gotta get things done around the house!!

Lately life around the house has been wonderful though.  Tom works so much and so hard.  Penny is 13 weeks now and officially 3 months old today! Crazy! Every month i think, "i cant believe i've kept her alive! I cant hardly keep plants alive!" Haha.  When Penny turned 10 weeks old, Tom and I made the decision that i am going to be a full time stay at home wife and mommy.  A very hard decision to make but very rewarding.  Like i said, tom works SO hard to be able to provide this for our family.  Before Penny was born, i was literally checking our bank account online all the time.  It was an obsession for me, a very bad obsession that often brought stress to not only myself but stress to tom and i's marriage.  The day before i delievered penny was literally the last time i checked our account!  Trust me, i have thought about it but i have just decided that God doesnt want me to and its just a way for me to be pulled down.  Also, i trust my husband that he obviously knows what he's doing and will handle things just fine.  He will be honest with me...if i need to go back to work, he will let me know.  So that is another thing i pray for a lot is that i just learn to relax and hand over my anxiety of the checking account.  

Anyway...enough of my blah blah blah...here are some pictures of our cutie-pa-tootie!

Our neighbor (also named Renee...such a great neighbor to have! Our lives are freakish-ly similar.  She and i both drive big black SUV's, we both worked for the same employer but at different times, we both had girls within 8 days of each other...yeah i could keep going...) invested in a blow up swimming pool for their yard.  P and i stopped on over on the 4th of July...turns out the water was freezing and only my feet got in!  But P sure looked cute in her juicy swimsuit!

This is what Penny thought of the pool...zzzzzzz...

Penny in her bumbo! She's so tiny in it! She decided to join us for dinner one night...

A couple weeks ago, we received a new awesome camera!  Its tons-o-fun!  I still have a lot to learn about it, so i apologize, not all of these pics are great...but ive been having fun snapping away!
