Some things I'm currently lovin'

Well, of course, there's the total obvious... But in addition to loving ALL of Kaiya to death, I specifically love her precious fingers. And her cute, TINY feet, that even the smallest socks have a hard time hanging on to. And I love her perfect "kissing" lips (as Jessika's grandma calls them). And I sooo love that she is awake so much more these days! She is constantly checking out her little world and smiling and cooing. She is changing so much, so fast! She is already starting to grow out of a few of her newborn clothes and filling out some of the outfits that drowned her at first! Ahhh, is it possible to love her any more than we do?!A few other things that I love these days:

I am sooo into A Fine Frenzy lately. If you have not heard this girl, check her out. She has such a beautiful voice and her songs are very emotional -- LOVE her! Might I recommend "Near to You", "Almost Lover", "Last of Days", and "Ashes and Wine". I find that I am spending a lot of time with my iPod these days during many hours of feedings and walking and such and so if any of you have any must-have music or artists that you would like to share, I am definitely interested in knowing what you're listening to and loving! I am also loving short hair. I always, always try really hard to grow my hair out, but have finally decided for the moment, that short hair is for me. It is so much easier for me to fix and I just think it fits me better. Ask me in a month or so, and I might be trying once again to grow it out, but for now, I LOVE short hair! I very much love the baby sling that my sister got for me. I put Kaiya in that all the time. It is such a great idea -- so hands-free and Kaiya just snuggles right into it and falls right to sleep. I can go on walks and still have a free hand to hold Chase's leash or clean house or do whatever else I need to do. I highly recommend these -- LOVE them!

And I love all the GOOD NEWS that seems to be spreading amongst so many of my friends and family. In the past few days, there has been so much good news going around for so many VERY deserving people, mainly regarding pregnancy and adoption. You all know who you are and I just couldn't be happier for each of you. Your good news definitely gives my heart warm fuzzies in the best way!

And I gotta close with the best thing that I love not just lately, but ALWAYS. Chris, you are the most amazing daddy and husband a girl could ever dream of. Seriously, this guy gets up each and every night to help with Kaiya's feedings, and is so attentive to both of us the minute he walks in the door from work, even after he has had a long day. I am so touched by how he stares so adoringly at his baby girl like he has never loved a person so much and how he can still look at me and seem more in love than he ever has before. He is the most patient person I have ever known. Though life definitely changes in big ways when a baby comes, Chris has made the transition so much easier with his love and support and service. I couldn't do it without him and I am more thankful every day for such a great man by my side!So, what are y'all lovin these days? Do tell, please!!
