Me, You & Sutton Blue

Summer of Sutton love...

I can't believe Sutton Blue is already 4 months old! They really aren't lying when they say how fast this time flies! It's amazing how much she has grown in the last few months. Her funny little personality is showing more and more each day. She makes the best silly faces! She started giving us full belly laughs a few days ago and I don't think there is a better sound in the world. We have taken her swimming quite a few times this summer and she loves the water! She loves grabbing toys and eating them. She also really thinks her fingers are yummy and a few days ago she discovered that one finger is yummier than the rest. Oh yes, the thumb. I think have a little thumb sucker on our hands! She has a pink little "lovie" elephant that is always with her and when she is tired she rubs her eyes with it. It's quite adorable. She absolutely loves Tucker and Jaxson and gets a big smile on her face whenever she sees them. She is still sleeping like a champ and gives us at least 9 straight hours a night. And yes, we know how lucky we are! This little girl (who I'm pretty sure is having a blow out on my lap as I type) is such an incredible blessing to our lives and we can't imagine life without her. We are so in love! And...now I have to change a diaper. And possibly my pants as well.

I must say, I have some pretty amazing friends. For real. I am so grateful and appreciative of all that they did to make Sutton's baby shower a memorable one! I must give a big THANKS to Ashton and Ashley for making it happen. It's nice to have such crafty, generous friends. It was the best feeling going to MY baby shower. I've waited for this time in my life for so long and I really want my friends to know how special I felt that they did so much for me. I was overwhelmed with all the love we got! But what's not to love? Sutton Blue is the cutest little peanut ever. I was so excited that four of my closest friends flew in to meet Sutton and to celebrate with us! Poor John. So many girls and long dark hairs all over our house. He didn't complain once and he even slept on the couch so all the girls could have a bed. He's a peach. We had so much fun! We basically ate and laughed a lot. No different than any other time we get together except we had sweet baby Sutton to love on. She got lots of snuggle time with her aunties. Sutton decided to give Aunt Kisty a special gift of honor. Her first blow out. In the car. Awesome. I was actually a little jealous that she didn't save the honor for her mama. She got a new outfit that day. I really wish I would have thought to take a picture. Oh well, that will just be a special, private memory between Kisty and Sutton. I am one lucky girl who has the most amazingly beautiful little baby girl and I am so thankful that all my friends took the time out of their busy lives to come meet Sutton and celebrate this amazing time in our lives!
