Daydreaming...

So the other day Davis propped Leighton up on the couch, and I was able to get these sweet pictures. She just sat there looking out the window for almost fifteen minutes. Her little expression is one of the most precious I have ever seen. She seemed so curious and content. By far some of my favorites shots.

The fat lady has sung....

Finally, for the first time ever last night...... LEIGHTON SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! I feel like I could do anything today... stay up forever, start a company, go back to work, finish my house, clean my house, shop shop shop, run a marathon!! ( ok, maybe not the last one)   I really forgot what a full nights sleep felt like. It's wonderful. Please let it last... (fingers crossed)!

Our little valentine :)

We had a great Valentines Day. It was a beautiful day... and Davis brought home amazing flowers to make it even better. I love having flowers in the house. We were running late, and I was waiting for him to get home, and then he returned with the flowers in hand. Who could be mad after that? It was really sweet of him. Thanks for being so thoughtful honey :)  

The other half of our day we went to the temple. Davis' cousin JD & Mandy went through the temple with their little boy Harley. It was such an amazing experience, and I'm so happy that we were able to be there. It was the perfect way to spend Feb 14th.

Leighton is darling as ever (atleast to her parents) and we still can't keep our eyes off of her. She is growing and growing. I can't believe that she is almost 8 months old!!! She's almost 11 lbs now, and it is crazy to think that just 7 months ago we thought we would never get to this point. She is the love of our lives and truly our best valentine.

HELP!

So one of my New Years resolutions this year needs some help. It's more turning in to a February resolution... I want to get Leighton to sleep in her crib!! (Possibly through the night?) Yes, she has been sleeping in our bed for the last four months, and it needs to stop! Have I already ruined our chances? With all of our moving around and traveling it just became a habit. I actually found it really convenient to have her by me all through the night... for awhile. Now our "co-sleeping" arrangement isn't so helpful. If we go anywhere that has a smaller bed Davis ends up sleeping on the couch because he doesn't want to wake her up/ roll on her.
I know there are some strong oppinions about the pros and cons of co-sleeping, but now I would like to undo it. ANY suggestions would be appreciated! Routines, tricks, bribes, sleeping pills :), ect... I feel like I spent all this time finding the 'perfect' crib and the cutest bedding; shouldn't I get to use them?!

Idaho Trip

Grammy Tami, Leighton, Emily, & Grandpa Paul

Ali & Amanda!

Opening Elmo Live! (Leighton loves it)

So here is a few more of our Holiday pics. We were able to go up to Idaho for 10 days over New Years, and it was so much fun. I love anytime that we can go up, but it was especially nice to get to stay for that long. So much better than the quick weekend trips when 2 days are wasted driving! It was great to see everyone (friends and family)! We just happened to pick the week that snowed almost every day or was freeeeeezing cold. Good old memories of growing up in Idaho!

Holidays

Leighton and her cousin Harley, or Santa and his little Elf! (and she's a month older than him!)

Loving Santa. How is she even 0ld enough to know to be scared?!

Cowgirl up... Christmas morning

Grandma Kelley and Papa

Christmas Eve

So this is a few of our Christmas pics! I know they are pretty late, but better than never! We stayed in St. George for Christmas this year, and it was great! There was even snow... so I felt right at home. The Snow family had huge parties with tons and tons of food and family. It was a lot of fun to see everyone and be together! With all of the holiday fun Leighton is now sick. So we are on our way to the dr's! More pics to come...

Little Smiles

We were able to go up to Idaho for Thanksgiving this year and had so much fun. I was so thankful that we could make the trip, and even more grateful that Leighton slept through the car ride there! It was great to hang out and spend a long weekend with my family. The food was amazing, as always, and the company was even better. They love spending time with Leighton every chance they get! (I mean, who can really resist her?) I loved it and can't wait to go back up for New Years! I really love this time of year.
