Potty adventures

Well today was a momentous day. Little miss Jasmine went potty all by herself . She removed her diaper and sat on the potty and had a pee. We had placed the potty in the bathroom and never really made any big deal out of it letting her sit on it when we sat on ours and this morning she peed without us sitting her there. probably a one time thing but boy did we clap for her.

A Really good Day to Remember

Are you trying to get a sip of my YOP
MMM Yop is the best
Do you think anyone recognizes me???

Today is a momentous day in the adoption of Jasmine. Today I am Jasmine's Mommy one day longer than I was not her Mommy in her short life. I day longer has she had a home with me than she had at the orphanage. I am truly feeling blessed today. What was life really like before she was with me. Was the sky so blue? Did the birds sing such a beautiful song ? Maybe but it sure sounds and looks better seen through the eyes of my daughter.

random shots from this summer

my 40th birthday in August

We had a wonderful day . Jasmine loved the sand and avoided the cold Atlantic ocean. Mommy certainly did not want to go for a swim. I can think of no better way to turn 40 with my friends and family beside me at the ocean can you?

Back to Work

Well Mommy has been back at work for a week now and Jasmine is absolutely in love with the babysitter. Everyday I am happy to see that Jasmine is still smiling and jumping with joy when I pick her up. The fact that the babysitter cares so much for her makes working so much easier for me . Starting in a new position that is 100 times better stress wise has been good too. My life couldn't be going better I think.

Jasmine thinks she is just the cat's meow. All you have to do is tell her how pretty and she shines those pearly whites. Couldn't you just eat her

The great Tomato heist

So we were just waiting for the chicken burgers to finish up on the BBQ and Jasmine was being very quiet. We snuck around the corner and there she was with the tomato and onions. I think she may be a chef someday.

July is already here

Jasmine has been with me already 7 months. I can hardly believe time is flying by so fast. Who knew that someone so little could change life so much. What a joy ,what a gift.

Jasmine is Walking

HI hard to believe she is already walking . It seems like just yesterday I held her in my arms for the first time and she wouldn't even stand on her own.
