Last Tuesday
Halloween
Well Vivi- Happy October 31st...this little bib was given to you by a sweet woman, Rita, from church and it seemed sweetly appropriate for today- I'll include some more pics of your first Halloween tonight! We're going to a sweet get together with friends and you have a costume...wonder what it'll be?? :)

You're sleeping through the night!
Vivien Elmer you precious thing! We are so proud of what a sweet baby you are! Not only are you holding your head up for long spurts now (many minutes at a time) you are also sleeping through the night now! Granted, I have to put you in a baby straight jacket so you don't punch yourself awake and I do give you a good amount of milk to get you nice and full, but you sleep like a pro! Must be an Elmer kid cause mommy and daddy love sleeping too! You've done 7-8 hours a night plus another 3-4 after I feed you pretty much every night this week- soooo by 7 weeks you have got sleep down (but you could say you were doing well about 6 weeks or so). You are sitting here talking to me- well- making sweet sounds to me- it's so precious!!! You're a talker! Love you!!! Xoxo

In the hallway :)
Daddy and I put you to sleep on my lap, but we had to get ready to go see Coco and Grandad, so we made you a little bed in the hallway while we got ready- and you are just SO CUTE Viv...what a little spirited blessing you are---- I have to post the story of you and Aunt Katie last night at the Chautas here at some point, big girl, it was a big day for you! Love you Vivi! Xoxo

Aunt Katie!!!
This is the person that we named you after...mommy's best friend katie- we found out we were going to have you on her wedding day! So although she isn't your blood related aunt, she's your namesake and one of the best women that you could ever have as an aunt...you'll love her like Mommy does- I'm sure of it...

I never want to wake you...
In the early morning when you wake up hungry, you love to just pass right out on me after you eat and the last few days you've started "talking" to me in my ear while I burp you! Just little "coo's" and "ah's" but it's so sweet...you'll give me little smiles too...so sweet Vivi...

On our way to visit Mommy's friend...
Daddy and I are spending the afternoon driving to visit Mommy's friend who is in the hospital :( It will give you and daddy some bonding time (like you don't have enough! Hah!) Because you can't go up to the room, you're too little...
Anyways, Mommy took one of daddy's lambs from when he was a boy and sewed a pacifier onto it so that it would sit on your chest...and you are liking it quite well...Your onesie was given to you by Coco and Grandad for Mother's day this past year! It might have been my first gift for you...I'm trying to remember...Love you precious girl. I love being your Mom. Xoxo

We missed your "sleep window"
...So here we are trying to put you to sleep...you are supposedly too young to understand how to fall asleep on your own, but you certainly know that being held by daddy over his shoulder is preferable to your crib...hmmmmm ;)

Before I go to bed...
Vivien,
Before I run off to bed, I just wanted to write to you...mostly because I can't tell you with any sort of understanding on your part just how it feels to be your Mom right now...
Tonight you took a bath (Aunt Sally and I gave you one) and we took a little video...you loved the ducks and you love the bath. It's so fun watching you learn about everything you see! And then I dressed you, fed you twice and rocked you to sleep...which I don't do often...rock you to sleep that is. But tonight I didn't want to put you down. You were all cuddled up on my chest...which you never do...and I didn't want to put you in your crib. You took a break in your feeding to just lay in your crib and listen to the scripture memory verses that Aunt Jess gave you as a shower gift...wide awake...just peacefully listening...so when I scooped you up to eat a bit more about 45 minutes later, I was just overwhelmed by the Lord's sweet prescence in your room and listening to the verses playing...You know Daddy recently remarked that he wasn't sure who the verses were more beneficial for: you or us...sometimes round the clock feeding and care for even a sweet baby like you can be very tiring...so we're encouraged by God's Word- I hope you are too baby bug. I hope your sweet mind is absorbing His Word and hiding it in your heart.
I just sat in the rocker tonight with you and cried happy tears for what the Lord has done. He is too good to me, to us...I read Psalm 91 today and just was overcome with God's promises to me over the years...for what He rescued me from and what AMAZING THINGS HE HAS DONE...and you, sweet little girl, are one of Mommy's biggest amazements. You are so sweet and beautiful Vivien. I am praying over you and for you constantly, praising the Lord for what He has done.
I thought I loved you before I saw you, when I could only feel you and dream about what you would be like...I can't begint to describe the depths of my love for you now which I am sure is nowhere close to the heights and depths it will become. But Vivien, Jesus's love for you is deeper than even mine...how awesome. How humbling.
I am so thankful for you my sweet girl...the little darling you are...I can't wait until I can tell you that and have you understand...for now I am content to sound nights with you like tonight...
I LOVE YOU...xoxo, Mommy

On your way to see Grandma and Grandpa Baer
Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®
This week you and I stayed at home getting to know each other...the WHOLE WEEK Vivi =) So on Sunday, Daddy and I took you to visit your grandparents. Plus, we love spending time at The Cross together-- Daddy and I sometimes go on a walk or sit outside while Grandma holds you...They're excited for you to be old enough to feed all the ducks at the pond there. One day =)P.S. Aunt Jess gave you the outfit you are wearing! It's super cute for a cold day in the fall =)
