I have to admit, the first day I did this job, I had a pit in my stomach the whole time. What do we do all day? Does she really fuss every time I'm not sitting right next to her? I didn't know about it. My dream job, was it really just a dream and not as good as I imagined?
3 weeks in now.
I put her down to sleep and if I hear her in there talking, I don't want to miss out on it so I have to go get her and let her fall asleep next to me and Juan in bed. Bad habit, I know!
Today we danced and danced to Justin Bieber. She smiled so big as I moved her legs or her arms all over the place. Or I'd pick her up and twirl around the apartment.
She loves sitting on my lap facing outwards, and will twist her head around to look up at me.
This is the rest of my life, can you believe it? I still tear up every day about how much I'm grateful for her. The other night she turned to me as Juan was getting her ready for bed and she spit out her bink and just started talking and talking to me. I cried. She is our girl. We made her. The Lord blessed us with her. We have a responsibility to raise her in the gospel and to be a responsible and considerate human being.
Heck yeah I love this gig.

You're so cute! As soon as I saw those painted toenails I knew you were loving what you were doing!! I'm so so happy for you guys to have this sweet little girl with you!
Her eyes in the 3rd picture just make me melt!!! I SO want to meet your sweet girl. I hope I can some day! You are a great momma and she is just as blessed to have you as you are to have her.
I just can't get enough of these pictures. She is just so precious. I wish I could just buy a plane ticket right now to come and see her. I am sure it is fun just being a mom. I am so excited for that. She looks like she is getting so big.
Don't you love it when they turn and look at you? It's awesome. I might be coming to Denver in Sept. you guys will already be gone though right?
I'm so happy that you get to live your dream Cami! I love her purple toenails. I can just see the two of you laying around reading magazines and chatting!
You better watch out for when Amelia is a teen, her cuteness now is only going to turn into drop-dead goregous by then! I am so happy you are having so much fun at home with her and glad you are living it up! She does looks like she is getting to big, especially in the first pic. I love that you painted her toe nails...I have never done that with Addison, is that bad?!
you totally just made me cry! I've been having a few hard days this week. It was the first that I have ever really had in Brooklyn's 15 months of life, and I was taking it hard. Thank you for reminding me that it really is the best job in the world, and we are so lucky to be able to do it everyday. You are such a cute mommy. Love you Cami!
What a beautiful girl! Congrats again! I love seeing her pictures. Hope you guys are doing well.
