February already!

So much to say. Today was an extra special day. I attended a bridal shower for one of our newer friends! So good to be around friends and meet new ones. I met a mother today and within minutes we found that we had a lot in common when it comes to child asthma and eczema! So often I feel like I am the only person that has ever had to battle these childhood "hiccups". I am thankful for those that have experienced some of the same things (sleepless nights, no processed foods, asking every restaurant about ingredients etc.) I am happy to report that Jayda is coming along better every day. We still are working through the asthma, but I have been told that with age, there are more options on how to control this.
Today I went and saw one of my best friends, new baby. I held this baby girl throughout dinner tonight and fell in love. How they grow up. I looked at my 3 1/2 year old and thought "was she ever this small?" While I loved holding this baby and loved her little coo's and tiny little bum/bottom, I can't say enough how I love no diapers, wipes, bottles, paci's, blankets etc. But new parents must experience everything to the fullest! Each stage is so valuable! I remember patiently waiting for Jayda's first smile....now I am patiently awaiting her first peddle on a bike!
Here is a pic taken on New Years....we struggle on deciding "appropriate clothing" and Jayda insists on wearing her snow boots...anticipating snow like Leavenworth (Christmas)
