In two more months

Cannot believe that in just two more months our little Jelly Bean will be a year old.  Where has the past 10 months has gone. Just seems like yesterday we was getting the text that she was being born.
She has grown so much the past month. She weighs 17lbs (that is if our scales are correct lol) and is 27 inches long. She has started waving bye bye and pointing at things she wants. Like last night she seen some dolls and pointed at the one she wanted. It was so cute. She has also been crawling on her knees. She isnt all that fast yet on them but she gets where she wants to go. She has been trying to pull up. She will pull up if you help her but she hasnt crawled over and pulled up all by herself yet. She is getting into a crawling position from a sitting position and  she can go from sitting to crawling.
So yes she has gown so much.
We have been slowly buying things up for her birthday party that is coming up in July. Cannot believe that she is going to be one in a two months. Her party is going to be a circus a theme. I have been making things myself for the party. We also have been trying to buy her gifts up for her birthday. Just cannot believe that she will be one in a two months.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day
I was beginning to think that I would never  be able to celebrate this special day of honoring mothers all over. But here we are after nearly 13 years of married life and trying to have a baby that I get to celebrate it. I get to hear the words Happy Mother's day to you from my husband and child. Well our Jelly Bean didnt say as she can only say mommy and dada and bye bye. Also sounds like she says pawpaw sometimes to lol. (I think she is a pawpaw's girl lol ).
Today has been a good day spent with Mike and Jelly Bean.  We woke up once this morning at about 6 or 7 something because Jelly Bean was wanting a bottle. (we call it her first breakfast lol )  While she was drinking her bottle Mike gave me my gifts. He got me a fitbit from him and I love it (been wearing it all day) and Jelly Bean got me some color pencils (Mike said that she said that she hopes mommy will pass on the love of drawing to her lol). Then we went back to sleep for another hour or two. Then I woke up before Mike and Jelly Bean and got ready for the day.
We spent the day walking around Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville AL. I hope that our Jelly Bean will want to go to space camp one day. I think she would love it. Then we went to the botanical gardens of huntsville. I have to brag on the lady that works there wish I had gotten her name. When Mike was going to pay for his ticket as it was free for me today and Jelly Bean is still under the age where she can get in free. When this lady found out that we didnt have cash or check to pay for Mike's ticket as their computers was down and they could not take credit cards for payment she let him get in free and our bottle of water was free to. There is not many places that would do that now days they will just tell you I am sorry you can not get it in but this lady was nice enough to let mike get in free. We didnt still there long as it was hot and I forgot to bring us all sunblock. Plus my legs and feet was all ready tired from all the walking at the Space and Rocket center.
Now we are home resting up some and in a few minutes or so I will get ready to go get a Mother's day dinner from somewhere lol.

I hope you all have had a wonderful mother's day and to you all that is still trying to become parents please dont give up and I am sending up a prayer for you all right now. Love to all you readers.

Our Jelly Bean's pageant

Our little Jelly Bean had her Kentucky Derby dreamin (outfit of choice wear) pageant last night. She got queen for her age group. Daddy walked her out of stage. He did a pretty good job. I was going to walk on the stage and then do the mama part of the pageant but my allergies had been kicking my butt. But she I think she had fun doing the pageant and so happy for her. Would have been happy for her no matter what she would have gotten. Because we dont do it for the win we do it for fun. It just isnt about winning (at least to us it is not about winning, now dont get wrong if she wins she wins and we will celebrate that win but it just isnt about winning to us. it is all about fun) I did do the crowing with her. She kept looking at the others that was getting a crown and trophy (just so you know each contestant gets something and I like that. It shows that they all are winners) and then look at me like mommy wheres mine. It was funny and cute.
We wish we could put our Jelly Bean in some more pageants this year. There is like four more we would love to put her in but we do not have the money for it. One of them is this month so I know we may not be able to enter her in it but we are going to try to. Then the next ones would be in Aug the summertime pageant ( I have a tshirt fundraiser going on for it. https://www.booster.com/addison-summer-pageant please helps get our Jelly Bean to this pageant by buying a shirt), There is one in Sept and then Christmas one. I really would love to do that one with her. But if we can not get the money raised up for theses pageants then we wont be able to do them this year. Maybe next year but I am not even sure then. So please helps us by either buying a shirt or asking about how you can become a sponsor for her pageants.
