ACE's blessing day was wonderful. She wore the dress my mom made for me 33 years ago for my blessing day. She looked like a sweet angel wearing it and was asleep and perfect throughout the entire blessing. Her dad blessed her with some beautiful things that I have recorded in her baby journal. We named her after my dad's mom, Annie, who I never met. She passed away when my dad was 16 but from what I hear, she was spunky, loving, and the definition of mama bear. I can't wait to meet her one day! My grandpa Morgan once told me I look a lot like her which I have always held on to. I know my baby is going to grow in the gospel and be a strong warrior for the Lord in these last days. We had so many family members come to be with us and we missed those who could not make it. We stayed for all of church so my ward's numbers in relief society almost doubled with just my family! It was pretty sweet.
After church everyone came to our house for lunch and visiting. We had hot ham and cheese sliders with a brown sugar/mustard glaze, chips, fruit and veggies, and three amazing desserts my sisters made: mint brownies, sugar cookies and chocolate cake. I love having my house filled to the brim with family and laughter. I stepped back from the food prep and happy chaos for a moment and looked around and was overcome with love. We have amazing support on both sides and to see a lot of them under one roof was just perfect.
The boys were very tired after playing all afternoon with cousins but at least they sat still for a picture even if they look annoyed.
She is also three months old today so I just want to write some things about her. She is the epitome of sweet. She smiles and coos all the time...to the point of distraction when she is eating. While I am nursing her I almost can't catch her eye cause if I do she smiles back at me and won't eat for a bit...not that I mind. She loves watching her brothers and they can get her to laugh so fast. They adore her and want to see her every minute they can. She loves being with people and doesn't love being alone but rarely fusses either way. She sleeps 9-10 hours a night, eats like a champ, is a master spitter upper and has leg and bum rolls that are so delicious! Her eyes look like they will be brown but we are not 100% sure. She joined me for a pedicure one night...not for her, just me...and sat in my lap the whole time just looking around. It made me excited for when I take her for her first one in a few years. She can make a pouty face to rival anyone and it is heart breaking. It tells me she will always be able to get her way, especially with her dad who is a puddle around her. She has found her fingers and sucks on her fists so loudly it makes me laugh. She also loves to work her tongue and has it sticking out most of the day. We are so in love with her. She is our joy and lights up our home so much. And just some too cute pictures to pass up posting!
