This is all the Leavitt ladies....we took family pictures in December. My amazing mother-in-law, Melanie is the gorgeous one in the middle. Kirsten is my sister-in-law and those two cute lil' gals are her wee ones, Indy and Iris (adorable names huh) . You can't tell, but it was so flippin cold out, we were all freezin our booties off!

Mother Like That

Now that I am a new mommy, I have had several deep thoughts about what kind of a mother I want to be. Of course I immediately thought of my mom because I have always thought that if I was half the woman and mother she is, I would be in great shape. Seriously though, I have always had a fabulous relationship with my ma, she is one of my bestest friends. I like to think that we have the type of relationship that Rory and Loreli have on the Gilmore Girls, he, he. She is my mom first, but always a friend I can count on. I new what a great mom she was, knew that I was lucky. However now that I'm a mom myself, I have realized what a truly amazing woman she is. As I was looking at Jersey, the thought came across my mind that my mom looked at me like this when I was Jersey's age. Then I thought about my sisters and cousins and friends and how they all must have felt when looking at their sweet little babies and I just have to say that you are all completely amazing women. It's the circle of life baby...and I am totally in it.

The Loves of my Life...Funny pic i know...but you gotta love em'.

Okay...I just have to go off on how much I love my family. Nathan is so amazing. He makes me smile and laugh all the time...I love to be with him. We just fit so perfectly together. I always wanted to have my husband be my best friend and he is....and it also helps that he is dang hot, I just can't get enough of him (grin). Baylee is too cute for words, I honestly couldn't ask for a better daughter. She is super sweet with Jersey, loves her a ton and is always wanting to give her hugs and smooches. She is so good about washing her hands and sanitizing them before she touches her though...it's adorable. Last, but certainly not least, my Jersey girl. She and I are tied to the hip...she is such a snuggle bug and because she is only 4 and half weeks old I give into her every command. I think she knows it too. It's incredible that their personalities are so apparent this early on. Jersey is definitely ALL girl, she has the wardrobe to prove it. I can already tell that she will take after her mommy and be a little high maintenance princess. This, of course, will be the only time I will admit she and I are high maintenance...grin...and that is my sweet fam. Gotta love em'.
