Gotta Love These Baby Carriers

My little girl loves to be walked around in a baby wrap or carrier. Recently we got a new baby bjorn. I am getting a wrap too in a few weeks and can't wait to see which one she likes better. Look at how she just falls asleep while I walk around. This carrier is perfect for trips to the store and other places. She loves being close to us and prefers this over her stroller.

4 ingrediant Chocolate Bars

I love chocolate, mainly dark, but a good Hershey's milk chocolate is great too. When I discovered this recipe, I was eager to try it. I added a pinch of vanilla to this recipe and kept wishing I had real vanilla extract for an even more authentic flavored chocolate. I could eat chocolate everyday, all day if I could. I'll admit I even ate the whole pan of this chocolate. I can't even imagine my life without chocolate. I think chocolate is one of the greatest joys in life. For this recipe you need: 1/4 c. Powdered hershey's chocolate, unsweetened. 1/4 c. Coconut oil 1 T. Agave or stevia Combine in pan and heat and stir. Once creamy, pour onto parchment paper in small casserole pan. Freeze for 1/2 to 1 hour. Cut into bars. If desired, sprinkle with sea salt.

As a new mom, I am finding less time for myself these days yet alone time to brush my teeth. But I did find a minute to post these pictures. Enjoy!!

1 month old

Here you can see the changes. The picture of me holding her is when she was just a little over a week old. Her bath picture she is three weeks old, and the pictures of Rodney and I holding her on Father's Day, she is just a few days from a month old. Wow, the changes. Sunny is the light of our lives. She is changing so much. Her personality is strong and demanding, she loves warm baths, she hates to be undressed or have her diaper changed. She is starting to take interest in toys and move her eyes to follow objects. We are curious to find what her eye color may be, but right now, they are blue. She looks a lot like Rodney and I. She has my shape of head and Rodney's nose. Not sure who's eyes she has quite yet. We sure do love our sunshine girl.

Easy Craft Idea

This crafty idea was super easy to assemble. I collected a bunch of sticks at the park and placed them in a vase. I then hot glued some white and orange flowers on different sections of the stick. Came together so easy. I bought the vases at the dollar store and already had most of the flowers. A cute craft that cost only three dollars.

3D Ultra-sound Pictures

Here are some 3D ultrasound pictures of the baby at 35 weeks. The doctor said this baby currently weighs 5 pounds 4 oz and has tons of hair. Measurements and everything are great. I am trying to start a new blog that will have posts on my pregnancy. I want to keep this blog for recipes and other nutritional things, so until I get my new blog started, I will post the baby pictures here.

Tasty!
