10 months...WOW is all I can say!

Can you believe that in less than 2 months my little baby girl will be ONE years old... Oh, how time flies.. I am in AWE... I have been super excited to celebrate her 1st Christmas and New Year.. and oh yeah.. BIRTHDAY.. all a while, being so sad at the same time..

This has been such a great year.. My very favorite year!!!!!
God has blessed me with this beautiful perfect little girl.. and I will NEVER really know what I did to deserve such an ANGEL...
She is such a joy. Inside and Out.. My heart.. My love.. My girl.
And I can't help but think..
How much God loves me so have given me such a gift
Many people go through life knowing what they want to be when they grow up.. I always struggled with that.. Until God made it so clear.. in more than one way-- that I was suppose to be a MOM!!
I am grateful for a husband who provides for me and lets me do that job to the fullest. He deserves a big crown in heaven one day for that! I love him more and more-- especially when I see him with our little girl.. It is a precious site!! I wish I had a pause button from time to time... to hold on to all this sweet little moments.. All her 1st! But, she is growing so fast.. I can just savory them one by one.. and get excited for the next! More importantly.. I want her to see Jesus.. like the song says.. "You can have all this world, but give me Jesus".. My prayer.. from pregnancy on.. has been for her to grow up in a Godly home.. seeing Jesus.. Day one in the hospital.. I started singing..Jesus Loves ME.. and my prayer is that she loves him, too! That is what I was put on earth for.. to minister to my baby and to be her light in this dark world.. I can only hope and pray.. she calls on Him.. and from day one, that has been the most important duty as a mom.. to do everything I can to do, to be an example for her.. I love her more than life.. but more than that.. I want her to life eternally!! This below video is by Jeremy Camp.. says it all.. Great song.. LOVE it!

Priddy Farms Pumpkin Patch

Well, the other day Courtney and I took the babies to Priddy Farms Pumkin Patch.. It was so much fun.. and we took lots of GREAT pictures.. Court did a wonderful job!! Here are just a few.. and a college I did for each of us! Then I realized, we did not get one single picture of the two of them!!lol.. oh well, maybe next photoshoot!! Presley is just over 9 months... Carter is 7 months..

9 months old!

ok-- In 3 months I will be having a birthday party!!?? I better get to planning, huh!!
Presley's 9 month checkup went great!! She is 19.9 lbs, 28 inches long, with 45 head circ.
She is CRAWLING EVERYWHERE!! Loves to look outside at our puppy dogs:) ( Roxy and Daisy)
She loves her daddy-- saying dada and hi, but no MOMMY yet :( It is coming, I can just feel it!!
She loves eating, and is having table food now... loves chicken, cheese, and gerber puffs are a fav.!
Here are just a few pics from this month!

8 Months old

Already????? I just love this little doll to pieces, to the moon and back!!!!! She has brought us such joy in this great 8 months.. but WOW, has it gone by super fast!!!!
She is still loving the jumperoo, starting to crawl some, got her 1st tooth and loves to be read to!
She is still huge fan of bathtime,
and is taking 2 naps per day,
eating 3 solids per day,
just stopped nursing-- so having 4 bottles a day,
and LIFE IS GOOD!

Presley's Baby Dedication

Tonight was a wonderful and emotional night! We had family over before church and at 5:15 we left for pictures with Dr. Gaines and his wife, Donna. As you can see, when taking pics with Presley's cake, she thought she might have a bite:) It was so nice to have family over and enjoy this special day! As we rushed around to get ready and get to church on time, I couldn't help but think how truely important today is-- Teaching Presley God's Word, and living our lives as an example is a huge responsiblity, but WOW, what a honor!! My prayer is that she will learn to love Jesus and others and make choices based on His will and most important to accept HIM as her Savior. I love this little girl with everything in me, but that is a choice that I can't make for her~ As her parents, Matt and I will do our part and continue our journey of constant prayer~
She did great-- and looked like a precious ANGEL!!!!!!!!!

7 months old..what a FUN month!!

7 months--
Presley and I have had a ton of fun this month.. she really is the sweetest baby-- and so FUNNY! As you can see in the pictures.. her and Mrs. Bear had alot of fun in this months photo shoot-- She is trying to crawl, no teeth yet.. but I can see them under the gums-- which causes random fussiness, eating finger food--such as gerber puffs, loves to go on walks, and hates naptime! She is however sleeping like a champ at night--8:30-8am.. is alright by me!!:)
This little girl is the sunshine of my life and I am so blessed to have her and Matthew as my little Sharp family!!
WE did take her on her 1st vacation to Hot Springs, Arkansas-- She did great!! It was a very nice 2 day getaway-- pics to come!
