Utah... I love being home

Addysin and I came back to Utah this week. We spent three weeks in Vegas with Chris. They were 3 fun and hard weeks. Due to her going to bed so late and then the sun shining right in our windows at 5:30am, and on top of that our bedroom situation (see my previous post for details), Addy and I got very limited sleep. Usually 5-6 hours was about all and we woke up every hour during that precious time. I felt like death every morning and evening. It was so fun to be in the sunshine at the pool and to be able to see Chris every morning and night. I also had some fun girlfriends there to hang out with during the day. The best part was they are in love with Addysin and would babysit her while I went grocery shopping or just took a nap! Thank you Jamie and Amanda Jo!

After getting such poor sleep and having a grouchy little girl everyday, I was a little ready to come home. I was so sad to leave Chris and maybe shed a few tears on the way home, but honestly what doesn't make me emotional these days. I knew this was what was best for us. And besides, Chris flew to Chicago that same day for the week so I didn't have a reason to stay.

Anyways, here is the cutest story. Addysin was asleep when we pulled in so I carried her upstairs and layed her in her crib. Just then she cracked her eyes open and was about to cry but then looked around and saw that she was in her crib in her home! She smiled and kicked her legs. I picked her up and she was sooo happy. She couldn't stop talking and pointing at everything. I can just imagine what she was saying..."mom, this is my room! Look at all of my stuff, cool, wow!" The funniest thing was she had to hold this random bear that is sitting up on a high shelf and she has never even held it before. She cuddled it like it was her long lost toy.

Ohhh, my little girl is starting to have a memory of things she loves! She loves her home and she has been sleeping like a gem! You know what that means? So have I!
