Tell me all about it...

Posted by Whitney Stevens at Saturday, July 30, 2011 3 comments
Lily has been getting quite talkative lately. She hit 3 months and has decided to tell us lots of stories. It makes me laugh even more when she stares right at my iphone as I am taking video. She just KNOWS she is on camera! LOL. Here is a video I took a couple days ago of her telling us a story...

Frames Finally Filled...

Posted by Whitney Stevens at Thursday, July 28, 2011 2 comments
Being a photographer I have NO excuse. And in fact if I knew my clients were doing this I would cry. Yes I am going to admit it. I hang EMPTY frames. Wow. Cant believe I admitted it but its the truth. I have had these frames up in our bedroom for longer than I remember (or at least longer than I am going to openly post ha ha). The excuse I am using is I was waiting for Lily! Although that is a big lie as we only decided we were gonna have a little one a small 12 months ago (oops...that puts a bit of a timeline on those empty frames).

The wait is finally over! I have filled the frames with photos of my beautiful girl and I am so happy to wake up and see them on the wall in my room. If there are any of you that have Empty Frames on your walls. COME SEE ME! I will help fill them! LOL

Here is a couple iphone pics of the "Filled Frames"

Are you a Mommy Blogger???

Posted by Whitney Stevens at Wednesday, July 27, 2011 6 comments
I know there are at least a few of you that read my blog and also have your own. My husband seems to think that Mommy Bloggers are the next big thing? What do you think? I know Miss Lily's blog seems to be sorta popular :) How can you resist the little cutie right? ha ha. I will admit I enjoy looking at my friends and clients blogs just to see what they are up to and see how big the kids are. Oh and I like to make sure they give Bliss a little love....JUST KIDDING! But seriously it is fun to read, learn and see what is up. Dan also thinks that these same mommy bloggers are wanting photo tips and tricks as they are constantly posting photos of their kids. What do you think? First are you a mommy blogger? If yes...dont forget to pass along your URL....Second...Do you stalk other Mommy blogs? Whos? And last...Looking for photo tips and tricks? Or anything photo related for your blog?

Just curious! Hope some of you will share your thoughts...

Video from the Babysitters

Posted by Whitney Stevens at Tuesday, July 26, 2011 0 comments
I must admit its ADORABLE when your babysitters send you updates/photos or EVEN Video of your little one. I think it is always good to know that your child is having a good time and not being a fussy pants for her sitters. I have said it before...If our kids were not good for other people we would NEVER have babysitters. Lily is usually an angel when she is being watched by her adopted Grandparents, Dave & Nancy. They are keeping an eye on her today while I do a little album design which requires NO distractions (even cute ones). I am super thankful for the computer time and love the feeling of accomplishment! So thanks to the Hutt's for helping out! I REALLY appreciate it. Anyway...I took this two minute break so I could share the video they just sent me.




Back to work I go...

She Sleeps...

Posted by Whitney Stevens at Tuesday, July 26, 2011 0 comments
Well we have had a couple full nights without having to get up and feed Miss Lily! Its AMAZING! Last night I did have to get up and put a binky in her mouth a couple times from 3am-6am. But she managed to go back to sleep till 7:45! What a HUGE difference it makes when parents have a full nights sleep. Lily is just so much cuter! Ha Ha! Fingers crossed we can keep on the path of SLEEP! Go LILY!

Here is a couple of her 3 Month photos...

I havent tried to add a video to this blog yet so we will see how this goes. I took a quick iphone video of Lily trying to copy me. I click my tongue at her and she likes to do it back. It is so cute!

Looking Cute...

10,000???

Posted by Whitney Stevens at Saturday, July 16, 2011 0 comments
How on earth? 10,000 views to little miss Lily's blog! How did she get so popular? Must be because she is too cute! LOL. It will be fun when she gets bigger to explain how I started this little blog about her so friends and family could watch her grow and what a hit it was! How exciting it will be for her to read all the posts and comments from everyone! A perfect recap of her life for her to read. Times sure have changed huh? We can now document our childs' lives via the web. I still think its good to have something tangible such as a baby book but this blog helps fill in the gaps and may be filled with more day to day goodies rather than just a general recap.

Thanks to everyone who has been visiting and watching Lily grow. She and I BOTH Thank You!

Here is a couple photos of my growing girl from "Instagram".

Randomness...

Posted by Whitney Stevens at Wednesday, July 13, 2011 0 comments
Been a bit since I have posted so I think I will just fill this post with some random stuff that I think..thats been happening and whatever else I come up with :)

Here you go....


1. You know you are a parent when the text I get from Dan last night says "Poop". Thats all it said! I was laughing. Yes...we have to discuss Lily's poop! Cracks me up.

2. Baby Wipes pet peeve. I finally figured out how the baby wipe companies make so much money...Cause its IMPOSSIBLE to pull out just ONE baby wipe. Nope...2-3 must come out at once. So you are holding your baby's legs juggling a diaper trying to get a wipe and 3 come out. ANNOYING! Someone really must fix this problem. I thought it was just me till I saw it happen to one of my clients. So its NOT just me! Dumb things.

3. Lily is almost 3 months and night time still kinda sucks. We are luckily down to just one feeding sometime in the middle of the night (from 3am- 6am) which is GREAT. But there are still rough nights. I am praying they will end soon but I hear we wont be sleeping good for the next 18 years! Yeah for us :) ha ha

4. My clients are cracking me up. They are ALL requesting I bring Lily to their appointments. Which I both love and hate. Love it that everyone wants to see her and honestly its easier on me if on the quick appointments I can just bring her...no need to find a sitter. BUT....Going to work is like a Mini Vacation :) So I dont want to bring her! ha ha Just teasing....I dont mind most days...Depends on what is happening at the appointment :)

5. Date night? Whats that? I think we might be in need of one. But honestly I think we would fall asleep if we tried to go out. Guess Date afternoon? LOL

6. Dan and I are so Thankful for our good friends Dave & Nancy. We are not blessed with having our families close by so Dave & Nancy have graciously stepped in as another set of grandparents for Lily. If it werent for them we would NEVER have a break. We couldnt thank them enough for taking care of Lily from time to time so I can work...or we can run quick errands. Oh and about that Date night??? ha ha ha ha.....Just teasing. Thanks to the both of you for all your help! Lily is very lucky to have so many people that love her.

7. Instagram anyone? If you use the app you can follow blisswhitney. I will post pics of Miss Lily and other randomness. In fact the two images I have posted here are from that app. Its fun!

8. Dinners have been going semi okay. I kept the dinner menu up perfectly the first week and then got sick....big bummer. But I will be getting back on it soon. Dan has ate my dinners with no complaining and I think he might have even liked it! LOL. Or he just liked the fact it was ready when he got home? Either way....its worth the effort and I will post some of the success dinners. I just need to remember to take a pic of the finished product.

9. Which reminds me...MOM's DO NOT GET SICK DAYS! Ugh! Getting sick sucks...getting sick AND taking care of a little one...MAJOR SUCKS. You think you have patience...and then you get sick...its all over. Thankfully Dan helped a ton and fed her in the middle of the night several days in a row (we usually take turns) so I could try and get better quickly. Its hard to get better when you are stressed, not sleeping and not eating good, etc. Oh well. Lets hope I can stay healthy now.


I guess thats my random recap of stuff for the day. I am sure I have more but lets stick with what I have here for now!

Posts are always better with pics...so here is two photos I took with my instagram app!

Simple things...

Posted by Whitney Stevens at Sunday, July 10, 2011 0 comments
Its funny how the simplest things can just melt your heart once you are a parent. Dan and I enjoy so much our weekend mornings watching and playing with Lily. She coos and smiles and just makes us happy. Even if we have a rough night she makes it very hard to be upset! ha ha. Hard to be mad at something so cute huh? Yesterday Dan and Lily were snuggling in the hammock in our backyard...It made me melt. For one its a sight I never thought I would see...Dan snuggling with a Baby? ha ha. But to see how happy it made him made it even better. I didnt have my camera on me but I snagged a quick iphone pic just to share the sweetness. Dont judge the pic! LOL

Love my sweeties...

Lily's 1st 4th of July

Posted by Whitney Stevens at Tuesday, July 05, 2011 0 comments
We didnt think a firework show would be that entertaining for Lily this year so we decided to have a BBQ at our house for our friends who didnt mind missing the firework show. Now we still got to hear booms until late hours of the night but we didnt actually watch any fireworks. I am not sure Lily liked all the booming. It was a bit of a rough night getting that little girl to sleep and mommy was not feeling too hot. Bad combination. How do mom's get sick days? Oh yeah they dont. Dan stayed home to help today (thanks honey) so lets hope I am better as quick as possible. I think the lack of sleep and craziness over the last few days has finally caught up to me. I just need some good sleep and relaxation I think. We will see how it goes.

Here are a couple cute photos from yesterday's celebration.
