Sweet summer-time!!!

We have had a wonderful summer, with lots and lots of things going on. We have been to the lake, several birthday parties, and just enjoyed hanging out with friends and family. I have loved watching Willa grow and learn new things! Willa has a huge obsession with ducks! Her pink duck from Aunt Birdie has been the hit. Willa loved it so much, I had to go by one for her to sleep with. She just cracks me up! I will try and keep everyone updated more often than every seven months! Get ready for September...Willa turns 1!!!

Willa's first trip to the BEACH!

We went to the beach in May, and had a blast! Willa loved the pool, but wasn't too keen on the ocean or the sand (she didn't like her hands in the sand). I was really nervous because she wouldn't be sleeping in her crib, but she did very well! It was also nice because Chris and I got to go on a date for our anniversary, and it was yummy! I can't for next year!

Willa's First Christmas!

We had a pretty hectic first Christmas, but came out alive and that's what counts. Willa racked up with tons of gifts, and her mommy and daddy didn't do too bad either.

My little one

Willa Kate Brunen was born on September 25, 2008. She weighed 6lbs 2oz...the teeniest baby I have ever seen! I love her more than life itself. She was born a princess, but what can I expect I am her mother. People told me being a mommy isn't easy, and they were right, but what they didn't tell, and I don't think you can explain this, is how beautiful your life becomes the day your baby is born.
