Yara

Yara Naomi Olsen was born February 2, 2006. She has always been my little princess. She has the most attracting personality. She just walks around talking in her little toddler language and every now and then laughs for some reason. I always wonder what she is talking about. She has 7 things that she's crazy about:

Daddy,
me of course
her blanket
Water (for drinking, and playing in it)
Books
Swings

Backpacks or purses


Yara loves exploring every thing. She is very smart. She has sea animals that she likes to play with in the bath tub. Anyways I have been teaching her what the exact names are for every animal. I told her probably 3 times which one the killer whale was. The next night I asked her where is the whale and she looked around for a second and picked it up and handed it to me. She knows where all of her body parts are. Including her teeth and tongue. She knows how to put sunscreen on... hahha


She loves reading books! I'm so grateful because i love cuddling up with her and reading out loud. When she wakes up in the morning she signs for book and then through out the day she is finding all her books and reading them or wanting me to read to her. When I put her in her car seat she signs book! She loves BOOKS. I hope it stays that way.

I wish so much that I could have the amazing ability to communicate exactly how I feel about my life. I will try my hardest...





I am a young (24 yrs old) mamma who can't get enough of my wonderful husband and beautiful baby girl. I'm in love with both of them so much it makes my heart want to share it with every one. Justin is perfect for me... we compliment each other so well. I feel so secure with Justin. When he gets home for the day I feel like I get revived. I send pictures of Yara almost every day to family. She is my every thing. I don't know how I survived without her for so long. She goes to sleep early so I cant wait to see her in the morning! Obviously there are some mornings where I just want her to sleep in a little bit longer!!!





I am fortunate again to be pregnant for the second time! I am due January 25 2008. Yesterday was my first doctors visit and I heard my little sweet baby's heart beat! It's so hard to explain how uplifting it is to hear that little fast noise. For weeks you know you are pregnant but you are constantly worrying about if the baby is still really there, growing, alive etc... Then you hear it and you just want to cry uncontrollably.





I have been waking up extremely sleepy every morning. Its so crazy to think that some thing so small inside of you can have such a BIG effect of your body. I try not to think about how sleepy I am until Yara's nap and then I take one myself. Yara is a little toddler who is trying to concur the world in one day so it's been interesting keeping up with her being pregnant.





As for my day I just try to find new things for Yara to learn about. She has been really into the pool lately since we have been out here so we usually go swimming every day or every other day. She is a WATER BABY 100%.

What it's like to be Justin for a day...

Justin wakes up every morning around 7:00 am and takes a shower and gets ready for the day. He walks over to the local club house and checks his emails. He checks his emails every day to see if any Dental schools has contacted him. Justin has applied to 15 Dental schools around the nation for FALL 2008. It is very excited but nerve raking at the same time. When he gets home he starts doing school work. He is taking some classes for the summer so that he can graduate from the University this coming spring. Around 11:30 am he eats lunch and hits the doors until 9:00pm and then gets home around 10:30. He has been getting a lot of sales this summer so its been such a blessings.



Writing about Justin makes my eyes water..... He wakes up every morning without any complains. I know he's physically and mentally tired but when I ask him how he does it he just says, "I just take one day at a time Christina". When Justin and I became good friends freshmen year of high school I knew that he was the most determined person I had and would ever meet. I feel like the most blessed girl out there to have met Justin at such a young age and get to grow old with him.

This is my first time creating a blog! It should be interesting, let me know what you think. Justin, Yara and I are living in Blue Bell PA for the summer while Justin is working for Pinnacle Security. We are really enjoying our stay and wouldn't mind coming back again. The weather has actually been wonderful, but I think it's going to be heating up soon.
