Shawnda Girl is 3 Months OLD

I can't believe that my baby is three almost 4 months old where has the time gone...

AS you can see in these pics she is getting nice and chunky

I love chunky babies..and she has started rolling from her back to her side almost her tummy.

She is smiling a ton and is so happy


She is started to notice her toys

I love to sit and watch her reach up and play with things above her, and I love to talk to her. She loves it too...she gets so excited and started kicking her legs so fast. I honestly cant get enough of her. We have been home alone alot this month, and so we get lots of time together...I never thought being a mommy could be this great...I just love her so much...

I love these little feet!!

Her Beautiful Blessing Dress that my Granny made...

My Sweet Little Daughter

Hector has been gone for almost two weeks, so that is alot of time to bond....I am not saying that I didnt bond with her when she was born, but it just seems like the more I am with her and the more time that we spend together the more I just cant imagine my life without her. I just can't even believe that I am mother, and I take that role with alot of importance. I sit and look at her, and now she is starting to smile at me alot and I think of Heavenly Father humbly giving us this little girl, and trusting us to take care of her and teach her the gospel. I find myself realizing that this time of her being little will not last forever. She will sooner or later grow up and leave us. She will hopefully have a family of her own someday and she will feel the same way that I do. I have to make the best of this time with her. I love her so much. I love her little smiles...the way that when I look at her and talk to her, she acts like it is the best thing in the world. She depends on me for her needs, and I love that. She is my sweet little daughter, and I really couldn't love her more.

Shawnda's Blessing

Shawnda Nicole Canales was given a name and blessing on August 1, 2010, in the MT. Taylor Ward in Grants, NM. Her daddy gave her a beautiful blessing and she had Her grandpa, my grandpa, Orrin, Tracy, Terry, Clayton, and TJ stand in the line... I also have to mention her beautiful blessing dress. My Granny made it for her...it is something that I will forever treasure. It is all crocheted and it is flawless. She looked like a little antique doll in it. The three of us...

Wengert Cousins...well just a few of them

My sweet Grandpa...he kept telling me how much my Gram would have loved to have seen Shawnda...I love him so much

Family Reunion

We just recently had a family reunion in Bluewater . When my aunts where here in Delaware last fall we planned this reunion, and then when my Grandma died they decided to go ahead and have the reunion. I was so happy that we got to go...I loved seeing everybody and it was extra special because everyone got to meet Shawnda. I have to admit that it was hard at the same time because there was a definite void without my Gram there...my Grandpa told me three or four times how much my Grandma would have loved SHawnda. I know she would have..I miss her alot, but I am so glad that we had the reunion that is what she would have wanted. My dad and Shawnda...

Daddy's Little Girl

There is Carrie Underwood song called,.."american girl". It talks about a dad and his little girl. Well all while I was pregnant we would listen to this song and we were so excited to have our little girl Hector was especially excited. Right after Shawnda was born I was holding her after they had cleaned her up and Hector walked over and held out his arms to hold her...I will never forget the look on his face..it was pure joy. He has not been the same since. He cannot get enough of her. He tells everyone that he usually doesn't like babies or pay any attentiont to them, but Shawnda is the most beautiful baby he has ever seen (pretty sure he is biased) but he just is so happy to have is little girl. I guess I have to agree..so am I. We love her more than we can say.
