so this is a special weekend for brighton this weekend... jake will be giving her a name & a blessing. i read this story to brighton this morning titled "a name to live up to"  it brought tears to my eyes reading about the name that we as members of the church of LDS have taken upon us at baptism. i know it is not yet brightons baptism but it is always a good thing to prepare her for a decision that eventually she will be making on her own. as long as i am a example to her & teach her all the things i know, she will be able to make that decision for herself.

so this weekend she will be given the name brighton morgan kleiman & be given a blessing by her daddy of all the hopes & dreams that he has for her as well as her heavenly father. i can already tell i am going to be a lil emotional hearing the words that jake feels prompted to say from the spirit. she already has such a sweet spirit that i know she is one special lil girl & i feel beyond privileged to be able to call her my daughter & one day hear her call me mom. i love having our family be a family of 3! marriage has been a dream come true- i married the right one, i married my best friend! i love that he is my cheerleader & lifts me up when i feel down. i had never been so scared when i was delivering B...all i could do was look at jake to help me stay calm- he is completely my rock when i am in hard situations. now we have this beautiful lil girl that brings us so much MORE joy! i am so grateful for everything that heavenly father has blessed me with in my life & i know brighton has many blessings in store for her life! i am excited to watch her grow & become a women...just with time, a lot of time!

my family heads down this week & i couldnt be more excited! my dad finally gets to meet brighton. stayed tuned for many pictures of my baby girl on her very special day & in her "first white dress"

it is amazing to me how fast babies grow. i often think about the whole process of being pregnant & how i felt like it literally dragged on & on & on but really it was all over in a flash. i remember going in for my first ultrasound at 9 weeks & having the doctor confirm that the home pregnancy test that said- "youre going to be a momma!" was in fact very true! brighton looked like a tiny gummy bear at this time but yet a few weeks after that she had full on features that i could recognize when looking at her sonogram photo. well yesterday was brightons 2month check up & she has grown even more! ((why do they grow so fast?!?!))

she had shots yesterday & wasnt feeling so great afterwards. during the day she just wanted to cuddle, which i definitely did not mind at all. however last night was tough on both of us...brighton had a fever & she was kinda fussy- after giving her tylenol she felt great & wanted to play at 3 in the morning until 5! now i am beyond exhausted so i am already calling today a lazy day.

she melts my heart!

even with a "boo-boo"

my girl will be sure to flash you a

huge smile!

i am pretty sure she is the happiest 2 month old baby

this was her 6 week birthday & i was telling her how she gets to move to her big girl bed (crib) ((last picture shows how thrilled she is about that idea))

((2 mOnThS))

time sure flies when you are having fun! being a mom is nothing but amazing. i love learning new things about brighton each day. monday was brightons 2 month birthday & sadly i never got a chance to take pictures until today...so this post is a lil delayed but hey! i am still a new mom & getting used to this i am on brightons schedule thing! ((i think i will be trying to get used to this for a very long time))

2 MONTHS

• brighton is finally enjoying bath time! like a lot...she kicks & splashes like she is having the time of her life. she is going to be my lil water baby-i cannot wait to take her to the beach this summer!

• she is starting to do this pouty face whenever she is sad- holy moly it breaks my heart! i literally run to her in that moment to comfort her so she is not making that face anymore! i will then say to her "where is that smile that momma loves" then she flashes her toothless grin & i give her like a million kisses!

• she loves momma milk- she pretty much eats every 10min of the day & it makes it pretty impossible to get anything done. ever. but sometimes do feel like a supermom that can just bust out a good house cleaning before jake gets home so it looks like i am also a superwife too!

• jake & i make sure that she doesnt watch tv when it is on but secretly when we are distracted she will turn her head ever so slowly just to make sure we dont notice ((sneaky lil girl))

• she is still such a cuddle bug & i love it!!! for our morning cuddles she loves to lay on my chest- she will start to make her lil sleeping noises so pretty much sleep is out the door for me- but that is for sure one of my favorite moments of the day.

tomorrow brighton has her 2 month shots & i am NOT looking forward to it- i can already see that poor lil pout! i am excited to see how much she has grown though!

i hope all of you had a wonderful easter sunday with your families/friends. yesterday we spent the day with family. brighton went to church for the first time & slept through it all! she wore the cutest lil outfit! i wished they had it in my size...although it still would have been a lot cuter on B.

B was slightly hungry when taking these pictures so she was not in the best mood. i cant believe we already celebrated her first holiday. i was excited to finally be the "bunny" for a lil one of mine! we got her another outfit that is perfect for spring/summer!

my favorite picture! i sure love these two so much

as i said- she was a lil hungry...she started to eat her hand

love her more than words can describe! ps. check out that hair- it is so light...pretty sure she is going to be blonde like her daddy was

we sure loved spending this beautiful sunday remembering the true meaning of easter & being with people we love!
