Until my baby girl turns ONE!!! I'm so very excited and saddened all at the same time. I am looking forward to having her birthday party. I am also looking forward to this Christmas because she will be able to participate and open gifts and be facinated by everything.
I get to watch my little girl learn all about the season of Christmas, and why we celebrate it. I get to teach her each year about Jesus and how he was born to be our savior and that we honor him with a symbol and holiday. I want to teach her that Christmas is not about gifts but about love and the best gift ever!
My little girl is growing so fast! I have so many things I want to do for her and show her and experience with her. I pray that she is a lovely, truly beautiful spirit that, shines for all to see and that she serves God with every ounce of her being!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Today as we ate and visited with my parents I thought about all that I am thankful for.
So here are some of the things that came to mind:

So here are some of the things that came to mind:
I AM THANKFUL FOR:
- My Savior and Lord Jesus Christ coming to earth and dying for my sins.
- God being the same, yesterday, today and forever
- My husband
- My daughters
- My family whom I love
- My best friend Amy who is such a huge part of my life.

- Being able to stay at home with my baby.
That is just to name a few! There is so much more that I have to be thankful for that It would take all night to list them all!
Well Yesterday we went to the Mall and had Nikirhe's picture made with Santa for the first time! I wanted to share it with you..... Sooo here it is!!

Being sick really sucks!
Well I've been sick for what seems like forever! Now Nikirhe is sick, Ernie is getting sick and Amy is sick too! Man we are passing it around. It's not as bad now as it was. No fever thank the Lord and mostly just congestion and cough with lots of restlessness at night for Niki.
You know I never thought I'd have a namesake but as I look at my beautiful little girl and thank God for her each and every day I'm no longer annoyed with Ernie for wanting to give her a combination of my names. I may have explained this last year when she was born but as it gets closer to her birthday I am a bit sentimental!
Nikirhe is a combination of my two middle names Nikita and LaRhe(pronounced La Ray) So there for Nikirhe is pronounced Niki-ray... we get nurses pronouncing it Ni ky re and Nik r he ugh! Just say the last name if you can't pronounce the first name! LOL
That is the only problem I had with him wanting to name her Nikirhe. People would never pronounce it correctly nor spell it correctly. She will ( like her mother) never be able to find things that have her name on them unless she shortens to Niki which I suspect she will! LOL I call her Niki 90% of the time anyway.
I liked Sophia from the movie Mama Mia... and since my little girl's heritage is Hispanic I chose the more Latin spelling Sofia rather than the original Greek spelling. And instead of just naming her Sofi I decided on Sofia so if she so chooses at some point she can use Sofi or Sofia.
I know I'm rambling but I have had this on my mind as of late and guess with her 1st year coming to a close in two weeks I am remember how on this day in 2009 I was preparing for Thanksgiving, content on never having a baby and only being a semi adoptive mother to Holly while raising my dogs and pursuing a career in Insurance sales.
Funny how God works! I am SOOOOOO very thankful for my beautiful daughter Nikirhe Sofia Graham!

Feeling Annoyed!!!
My child won't stop screaming and throwing temper tantrums! I'm so tired of hearing her cry and for no good reason!!! UGH sometimes I want to just scream!!!
I feel like I'm the only one who can't tune her out! Apparently everyone in the house can but me! Hubby is watching Bones, Amy is upstairs reading or something and I'm trying to ignore the tantrum so she will stop!
