Thankful for

Found via Pinterest

It was a rough week but in the middle of all the insanity going on around here I am thankful for so many things.

I'm thankful for boyfriend. He is so so supportive and even though he may or may not agree with me in some things he is still with me no matter what. I am crazy in love with him and I adore him for picking me up when i'm in tears and telling me he thinks i'm beautiful.

I'm thankful for rainy days

...and the 30 minutes of sun we get in the morning before it starts pouring down.

I'm thankful for my dad and his wise words.

I'm thankful for Amelia. Because she FINALLY understood that mommy needs some love. (She comes up to me whenever she feels like it and gives me kisses and hugs and cuddles with me. Some people might not now how huge of a deal this is because she's never been very affectionate and i think she is a very independent little person.)

I'm thankful for boyfriend's family that opened the door for us to stay here for the week.

I'm thankful for burgers, because if you know me you know I could live by only eating burgers and sunshine.

I'm thankful for boyfriend getting home early from work. I love love love spending the afternoons with baby and him cuddling and being lazy,

I'm thankful for having inspiring words in my life that help me look at things from another perspective.

I'm thankful for my family.

Beautiful words to live by.

Things we do/ don't do/ need to do

Silly. Please don't mind my face.

What I love about my days with Amelia:

• Waking up late (God bless that lazy baby) and cuddling while watching cartoons.
• Her urge to touch and lick every single thing that she sees.
• The way she claps and laughs and makes fun of my dancing.
• Playing with food.
• For the past week and a half or so she has been crawling like a pro and this is so exciting/exhausting. We constantly have to chase her around to make sure she is doing ok. The good thing is that she gets entertained with every single thing.
• Going out. Yes, we still aren't over our new stroller. 
• Our weird sleeping accommodations that only seem to make sense to the two of us.

What we still have to work on:

• Crying while getting dressed.
• Refusing to let mamma change the dirty diapers.
• Not wanting to fall asleep while dad is in the same room. 
• Steady naping schedule and duration.

What I need to work on:

• It is no surprise no anyone that knows me fairly good that I get super lazy at nights.
• Maybe helping boyfriend out with bottle washing from time to time?
• Look for plans and different stuff for us to do on the weekends as a family. (Maybe start a weekend tradition)
• Sleeping shortly after Amelia is put down.
