The Boyles 5.0: February 2010

I know I have said this many times before, but since Maleigha came into our life, I now wish I was a millionaire so I didn't have to work. So I could stay home with her every single day and spend every single minute with her. We've had to make crazy arrangements here lately for babysitting while Chuck and I work, so she's been staying at mom's some and I miss her terribly when she's there. Next week, Chuck's schedule changes again and he starts working nights so we have to find something else again. I'm afraid we're going to have to put her in daycare which I really really hate to do....for her sake and for ours financially. We've been very fortunate to have Mom, Dad, Lisa and Sue that have offered to keep her several days and nights and also our good friend, Nan, who has kept her a lot too. She's such a happy, friendly baby that every one says she's a dream baby, and I hope they aren't just being nice. But she really is a happy baby. She wakes up smiling every morning. She sleeps all night long, usually in bed by 10:30 and wakes up usually by 6:30 and some mornings she only gets up because I wake her up to get her ready. She's a good sleeper and (Knock on wood) rarely cries. She gets fussy some, but she's a baby! Oh, and I almost forgot, I think she's about to start teething. We have baby oragel ready!
She goes back to doctor on March 9 for her 4 month check up and we're ready to start baby food, which I have already bought some too!!! We're ready!
On a funnier note, I was telling someone the other day something, I don't recall the conversation, but I said "My daughter..." and I stopped because I think it's the first time I realized I have a daughter!!! I'm a mommy! I know, I know, not a newsflash moment, but I guess my blond roots were showing and I had a moment. It was very cool to say, so now I say it a lot!
Also, just a simple prayer request for us, as a family, to continue to learn each other and our new roles and continue show our love and commitment in all we do!
