Awwwww. She's so adorable. I know what you mean about the tired thing. I was at my sister's house for Christmas and there were 4 babies/young toddlers there. Barely slept at all. Every morning I woke up with a 2 year old either pulling my hair or slapping my arm. Hopefully Aurora won't do that, for your sake. It's funny how, them being so young, they can hit SO hard. Either way. Hopefully you guys will have a happy new year, 2010 is almost over which means... Actually, I have no idea what that means. Anyway, I hope Aurora and you will have a lot of fun in 2011.
I will forgive, but I'll never forget.

Thank you Katie
It's new years day! Getting ready to celebrate it with the family. We're going to all-you-can-eat crab legs at a local restaurant. For Princess, all-you-can-drink boob juice. Well, at least until it runs out!

Haha, what an odd thing to dream of. Cute though. Nearly 3 months in. One step closer to the 'terrible twos'. Thankfully you still have a while to prepare.

I know, I can't believe she's almost 3 months either. And I wish she could stay this age forever. She's such a joy!! But my baby girl has gone from infant to baby. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe both...

Aurora is 3 months old!!! Woohoo!
I adore that hat, I really do.
So I have decided that it's in Aurora's best interest that she meets her other grandma and grandpa...Ryans parents. They are so sweet, and they were even on my side when Ryan raped me, because they heard him talking to his friends about forcing me to have sex with him. But I have been waiting for them to meet her until I was ready to see them again, because I didn't know if I wanted her to have any contact with his family...but now I know she should. I'm nervous & excited...but I'm not sure which I feel more. Wish us luck!!

Wow, three months already? You're doing a great job with her. She's lovely and looks like the happiest little girl in the world. Good luck with the meeting, though!

Thank you guys!! I had a wonderful day, but my favorite part was when everyone was singing happy birthday, Aurora had this huge grin on her face and kept making this "bah bah bah!" sound. It was so precious!

Aw, she was singing happy birthday to her momma too!

It will get better. At about three months is when my son suddenly started sleeping for 6 hours at a time, and would even go back to sleep after that!
I don't know what your daughter's sleeping schedule is like now, but with my son, once he started sleeping those six hours straight before too long it was 12 hours straight!

Aurora was up all night with the sniffles. It's rewarding to be a parent, but during times like this, you just want to cry because you know your baby girl isn't feeling good.
