New Years Eve

New Years Eve was very low key this year. We just ate, played games, and watched the ball drop. ;) Of course Alyvia went to sleep right away and only stayed asleep in my arms. We had a bunch of fun!

Fun at the Movies!

On Dec 30, 2009 we went to see the movie The Princess and the Frog. It was a good movie! Alyvia LOVED it, she just stared at the screen. :) These chipmunks are at the theater and kids wanted to have their pictures with them. :) I think it would be kinda cool to own them (the chipmunks).

I love my husband!!

Scheduling Alyvia!!

So everyone has told me over and over "you are spoiling her" "you are babying her" Well, Everyone!! She is a baby! But recently she has been waking up about EVERY hour at thinking she needs to be fed or held. Now, I love her and want to comfort her, but seriously this was getting rediculous! So I decided it was time to schedule this little girl. It has NOT been easy!! As there have been many nights that when she cries herself to sleep, I too cry my self to sleep!! I have felt like a very bad mommy! It was/is the worst feeling EVER!

But everything has turned around! Last night Alyvia slept!!! She slept all night! She went to bed at 7 pm and slept until 8 am! mind you she did have a feeding at 10 pm and 5 am. But those I can handle! It was the bed at 7 pm then feeding at 10, 12, 2, 3, 5, 6 then awake at 7:30 or 8, that were killing me! I am grateful for the 6 or 7 hours I got!!! Although, I did wake up and check on her to make sure she was still breathing, because this was a FIRST!!

We love this little girl! She is such a blessing!

Ok... Update.
I got a portable photography studio last year as an early Christmas present and I am having SO much fun with it. I also have a professional photography lab I am working with!! YAY! Now I can print and set prices. I am also always learning so much with how to work with photoshop. Now I have requests for baptism announcements and have made a few and I have custom Article of Faith cards. I am having so much fun and the extra cash is nice too! :)

I hope 2010 will bring tons more growth in my photography!!
