Little Moments (continued)

The link to see these colleges larger wouldn’t work with the videos for some reason, so I had to put them in a new post!

Little Moments

I just wanted to share a few Little moments from the past week. Victoria is 5 months (or will be on Tuesday) and not a day goes by without feeling overwhelmingly blessed to have this baby girl in my life! Some days the laundry is forgotten, dishes sit in the sink, a shower just is not an option, and dinner might just stink…and that’s okay because my time was spent listening to our baby laugh, kissing chubby cheeks, singing lullabies, and rocking her to sleep!

I didn’t mean for that to turn into a poem. J The first couple of phrases rhymed so I just went with it. Anyway…it’s been fun watching Victoria’s personality grow. She smiles at strangers a lot more now and because she’s a little shy she’ll turn her head into our shoulders after making eye contact and smiling. It’s so cute! If I hand her a toy she will take it from me, and loves watching everything we do! Here are some recent pictures and videos of her…   

The Name Game

We’ve been meaning to post this for a while now but I’ve just been struggling for the right words I guess. I don’t want to come off sounding rude, it’s partly our fault anyway. I know Shawn and I started out calling Victoria “Tori” here and there, but after a few months of the name Tori and hardly anyone calling her by her real name, Victoria,  it started to wear on me (and Shawn) a bit. We hoped that friends and family would catch on when Shawn and I would only call her Victoria…I mean I like the nickname “Tori” and I am not going to freak out if someone calls our baby girl Tori…what I’m trying to say is that Victoria is our daughter’s name and would like it to be used more often by friends and family. This post isn’t meant to be offensive in any way, just an easy way to let everyone know how we are feeling. I know it may not seem like a big deal, but it kind of is. We chose the name Victoria for our daughter because it felt right and it fit.

Sorry if my words are little scrambled as I tried to get to the point ha ha, I just don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

Show Me How the Piggy Eats!

On Friday Victoria had her first taste of Rice&Apple cereal and loved it! I have to share a little (and when I say a little I usually end up posting more than necessary, but we just can't get enough of our baby girl! And I know the grandparents enjoy it too!).

  

I have another video clip I wanted to post but can't get it to upload. I will try again in another post.
