Has it been as long as I think it has? Almost a year ago, my emotions got the best of me and I took a step back from this blog and just kept to myself, my closest friends and my family. Suddenly, the realization that my sweet rainbow baby was only 2 months or so from arriving was hitting home. I was in the home stretch and I was struggling to handle it... at least publicly. So I slid back and focused on my little world...
On April 7th, 2015, Emily Grace Voeltz was born. My rainbow, God's promise to me and our family had arrived. At 7 lbs 14 oz and 20.5 in long, she was right in the middle of what her siblings were born at, both in weight and length. My Rainbow... was and still is beautiful! Now, she is our most physically active at this age. She has been crawling for months and recently has become very good at standing. She loves saying "Dadda" and has the same love for life her siblings did at this age. She is probably the most "high maintenance," requiring her "Dadda" to pick her up within seconds of walking in the door after work each day. She took awhile to warm up to anyone outside of our immediate family and even now, usually requires Mommy or Daddy to be with her. She absolutely loves her Micah Boo and Joy Joy and seems incredibly content with the noise our busy household brings each day. I say she is built more like me than David and we are still waiting to see if she will be a blondie or a redhead or a strawberry blonde mix. She loves to eat... anything and everything!
Anywho... I am back. I am making no promises to blog at a certain time or a certain amount, just that I will try to blog as I feel led and am able to. So, here's to a new year, a new start, a new blog name, and lots of fun, right?
As always,
Melis <3
