To Ashlyn...On (the day after) Your Six Month Birthday

I wanted to get this posted yesterday but I just didn't get time. 

Oh my sweet Baby Girl.  You have been with me for six months now.  I have woken up to your sweet smile for 184 days.  I have held you in my arms and given you kisses countless times.  I have squeezed you and whispered into your ear thousands of times how much I love you and how happy I am to have you. 

I never expected you to bring me this much joy.  I never expected to feel as though my heart could explode at any given moment because you fill it with so much love.  I never expected to want to spend every waking moment with you. 

You are the happiest baby I have ever met.  We've proven that you can be miserable, but only when you are sick.  I feel like you know when our time is together and you do your best to make the most of it. 

I know all of your faces, even though they are ever changing.  I know all of your cries, what all of your movements mean.  I know that a whole lot of things are about to happen for you like crawling and talking.  I'm excited to see all of these changes in you but it also makes me very sad because I know that you are getting so big and that you will grow up so quickly. 

I can't promise that I will be the best Mom in the world.  I can't promise that I won't make mistakes.  I can't promise that you won't get mad at me from time to time.  I can promise to love you more than anything else in this world, to be patient with you, to stop and listen to you no matter what I'm doing and to give you hugs and kisses whenever you ask for them. 

Today I will squeeze you and shower you with kisses and probably cry a little bit, knowing that you are only going to get older and grow bigger.  You are the most amazing thing I have ever done.  I can't imagine not having you in my life. 

I will post more about Ashlyn's 6 month birthday later.  For now, I am spending the day with my amazing little girl and fantastic husband!

Happy 6 Month Birthday to the sweetest little angel in the world!

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

Big News!

We have been trying very hard to keep this to ourselves for just a little while longer but I can't wait anymore!    Baby Miller #2...due 09/01/13!!!!!!!!! I am 8 weeks and 1 day I have known since Christmas Eve I am much more tired and much more nauseous this time around I haven't gained a single pound yet, unlike last time I am not so secretly hoping it's another girl If this one is anything like Baby Girl, he or she will be born mid-August I've been leaving hints all over the place but no one noticed! I am so excited!   I've already had one doctor's appointment but I was only 7 weeks so there wasn't much to do.  We couldn't hear the heartbeat or anything so the next appointment will be much more exciting!  My next appointment isn't until February 11th so that's when I'll get to hear and possibly see my next little monster!  So exciting!   PS:  Notice the blog title?!
