Show Stopper

My little girl knows how to draw a crowd. The other day I walked into the store to purchase some diapers, I was surrounded in an instant by about 10 people all admiring Violet. It was pretty funny, and it took me a little while to get out of there because of her constantly growing fan base. She's darling, and also has WAY more friends than I do which is funny. I need to get some more pictures up here, and probably print some actual ones out because she's growing up so fast! I can't believe she's already 2 weeks old. What??

We've gotten into a pretty good routine as far as her eating and sleeping goes. And it feels SO GOOD to be able to move around the way I used to. No more heaving myself around anymore or struggling to tie my shoes and shave my legs. We even played some Dance Central 2 the other night on the Kinect and I've still got my mojo- though to be fair-Cristian DID win the first match. Also, something else more epic... I spent 2 hours and 7 minutes away from her over the weekend. That's the most time I've EVER spent away from her so far. We went and saw "SnowWhite and the Huntsmen" with our friends Connor and Joni. Auntie Talisa and her friend Maddie watched her for us. It was rough, not going to lie. I kept checking my phone throughout the movie and Cristian kept leaning over and whispering "It's okay Chelsea, she's fine. I know you're worried but they would call if something was wrong." He's pretty great.

He's settled into this whole husband/daddy thing quite well. And he's been there to help me through all the frustrations and tears when I've struggled with "mom" things. I'm pretty lucky to have found him, and I LOVE being married to him. He's honestly my best friend and I think Violet is pretty damn lucky to have him as a daddy :D. He's so cute. He keeps talking about how he's gonna have to beat up all the boys ( I get to beat up all the girls) and how beautiful she is. I LOVE seeing him be that way with her.

Anyways. The movie was okay, had some super weird parts in it, but...uh.. yeah.
And once home he was right, everything was fine-though I did feel relieved to be back with my little girl. She's everything to me.

So we've been trying to put together a little vacation. Cristian gets a week of paid vacation once he's worked at this place for 6 months.. and we're coming up on that THIS month :D. Thinking of getting 4 other couples together to rent a houseboat down at Lake Powell for a week (5 days technically). One of the couples we've invited and who are "down" to go (Taya and Jake) have a boat and jet skis and said they would bring all of that if we can get this together. Can you imagine? 5 days of nothing but sunshine, boating, water skiing, fishing, camping, and having a good time. I really hope it all works out and with the deal they have going on right now it would only be about $80 per person and everything's included. Really hope this works out, we wouldn't go until about September (apparently that's the best time to go) which gives us a little bit more time to get organized.

Love our life.
Love my family.
