Baby Laughs

Today just happened to be a lovely and more relaxed day! I woke up, had some breakfast with the family, and once the parents and Beau left, it was just Annebelle and me! She is the cutest little thing, I tell ya! I'll do just about anything to make her laugh and smile! (Yesterday while I was cooking dinner, Annebelle was in a little baby recliner type thing on the floor and wanted some attention - Since I was handling food I decided to turn on some Britney Spears and dance around. She was immediately entertained. In fact, when the song was over and I stopped dancing she started crying again. Soooooo Britney Spears and my amazing dance skills were on repeat until dinner was finished being prepared!) Well, once Annebelle had her bottle and I hung out with her for a while she went to sleep! I did a load of laundry, and then went to watching the last episode left on Netflix of Downton Abbey. I can't believe they only have one season on Netflix! I'm already so addicted, it's fabulous! Since that's over, I'll have to find a new show that fancies my interest on Netflix that I can watch all episodes of over the course of a week haha. Also today, just like the last few days, we've been having these weird hail storm spells! Almost every hour it will start hailing madly for about 5 minutes then stop. And then start up again withing the next hour or so. Weird, but fascinating to look at! As the day went on, Annebelle got hungry, pooped, laughed, slept, cried, played, and then that whole process just keeps repeating itself until the end of the day!! In between her laughing and her drooling she does these adorable little baby laughs that I love! It's going to be so much fun to watch her grow! Even though I'm only going to be here until October - which seems like a long time now but I truly believe it will fly by - Annebelle is going to grow so quickly! I'm going to see her start crawling, and maybe even walking, and hopefully saying her first word! This is such a great experience not only because I'm in a whole new place and because I get to travel and meet new people, but because I can hopefully change this family's life for the better, and become more and more a part of this family and a part of their lives. There have been a few days where I have missed my family tons but I've talked to friends and family who all are so envious of what I'm doing and what they're all saying is right! When I get back to the States I'm going to want to be back here. When I get back to the States nothing will have really even changed, but me. Everything and everyone will be the same. I'm going to enjoy the time I spend here - each and every day. I'm going to make everything count and accomplish and see as much as I can! So I won't look back on this amazing experience and regret the time I had here. I'm going to make the most of everything and I can't wait to come back home and tell everyone my stories and share my wonderful experience with all of you! :)
