7 Days to Knock the Socks Off Your Spouse

Jesus and I promised each other that every Wednesday night after Bella goes to bed we will have marriage night, no T.V, no phone, just the two of us and whatever we want to talk about. The night ranges from talking about serious things to playing a game of chess (he usually beats me!) Anyway we found this link to a great idea that we are going to start doing for everyday of the week. Life gets busy (and tough at times) that making time for our spouse seems impossible, but its really the little things that count...and lots of little things add up to lots of love! Thought I'd share with everyone...and share the love!

Bella is 8 months now! Say its isn't so!!!! Each month goes by faster than the last and this month crept up so fast I haven't even had time to write about it! The girl is doing so much that it brings us to tears on how much she has grown in such a short time. Jesus knew without a doubt that I needed to stay home with her to enjoy each of her milestones and man was he right! I wouldn't take any of these days away! Bella learned how to crawl shortly after turning 7 months...and now she crawls with speed! She also loves to crawl over and under things! We made her an obstacle course in her play room that she loves to crawl over and through. She likes to crawl into a ball pit and bus that we have..but her favorite thing is chasing daddy around, she laughs and catches him quickly! She just started pulling up to stand yesterday! Now she stands in her crib and in our living room ottoman. She laughs and giggles when she stands with pride. When she is upset she lets out a growl that sounds like a dinosaur! She just got over her first sickness..the awful stomach bug! She was nice enough to give it to us as well, so we all spent daddy's 33rd birthday sick. It was awful but we made it through! She is eating three meals and naps twice a day. She refuses to hold her bottle but that's okay, we like snuggling with her. She enjoys dropping cheerios on the floor to see Hope come eat them! She has been sleeping on her tummy since 6 months but she still doesn't sleep through the entire night, she wakes up once or twice early in the morning around 3-4 am and then sleeps till 8am. This past month we took her to Sea World with her cousins Abby, AJ, Eli, Tia Sandra and Tio Marco! She really enjoyed the shows! She was very attentive watching their every move! We plan on going again before the year ends...but until then we are excited about the holidays to come! We took her to her first pumpkin patch and she didn't know what to think of all the pumpkins! We are so happy to be her parents and so proud of her! Love you baby girl :)
