7 & 8 Months

I know I say this every month but where did the time go? It’s like I blinked and you are seven months. Maybe it was the holiday, who knows, but man this month went by fast. Speaking of the holiday, you loved opening your Christmas presents. Tissue paper was your absolute favorite.


You are really starting to figure out the world around you. You love peek-a-boo and have recently started to pull yourself up one anything close by. You started crawling and now there is no stopping you.


You got your first cold, which really stinks. I feel so helpless, there is nothing I can do to make you feel better. I can't wait for spring when cold season is over. You have two bottom teeth and are eating like a champ. There isn't anything you don't like. Can't wait to see what next month brings...

6 Months

So here we are, 6 months old. I can’t believe it. It’s crazy to imagine that in the next 6 months you will learn to crawl, walk, and even say our first word!

As always you continue to amaze us. You have been eating solids for about a month now and absolutely love your veggies, even peas. When we put you in the high chair you immediately open your mouth like a little bird waiting for the first bite. Once those peas or some other not-so-good food touches your lips, you sometimes gag; make a funny face before you swallow them all. Very cute.

You have mastered sitting with ease but now hate tummy time unless you're sleeping. Which by the way, you are finally sleeping through the night (most nights). Dad and I are having a blast watching you grow, we can't wait for the next 6 months.

4 & 5 Months

Ok so again I’m late posting but I have a good excuse, boat show! I have been crazy busy with work, anyway… our little lady will be 5 months old next week and is just about 15lbs. A few weeks ago she amazed us all by rolling over for the first time. We were beginning to think she would never do it. She is also starting to show signs of teething. This weekend was no fun. The poor girl has not been her self.



We're (I’m) looking forward to Halloween next weekend. We still haven’t figured out what costume to put her in, Andy is thinking a pumpkin; I’m thinking maybe a hotdog. I had this cute idea that I would but her in a brown onesie with the word hotdog ironed on. Then Andy and I would be the ketchup and mustard, each wearing either a yellow or red shirt with the words ironed on. Cute idea, right? Andy doesn’t think so. Who knows what she’ll be.

3 Months

Another month has flown by. Pretty soon she’ll be asking for the car keys. It’s been a busy month, first boat ride with Pop, first football game (it counts, even if it’s only pre-season), first look at hands and feet, first encounter with a farm animal. It’s hard being a baby.



New things she loves this month
Her Bumbo chair
Bouncer – No she can’t bounce in it yet but she loves to look at the lights
Her hands
After dinner walks around the neighborhood

Not much to report on for new dislikes. The little lady is happy as long as she has a full belly and a clean diaper.

Side Note...

Well our computer is officially gone. The IT person tells me that the motherboard had a fatal error; whatever that means. I just hope he can recover all my photos not to mention iTunes. Technology! Can’t live with it, can’t live without it. Therefore, I’ve only have the last two weeks worth of photos. I'll post more once I reterive everthing.

2 Months

So I’m a week late on the monthly birthday post, sorry! I’ll do better next time, I promise.

This past month has been a blast. She is smiling and talking(coo'ing) more than ever. The best time is in the morning before we get out of bed. She recently had her 2 month check up and the girl weighted in at 11 lbs and 14 oz! Needless to say, she is growing like a weed and getting cuter by the minute. We absolutely adore her.

This month she likes…
While sucking on things is still at the top of her list, she has moved on to the pacifier, thank goodness.
Car rides
Watching Andy and I make funny faces
Talking
Her swing with lullabies playing
Mirrors
Being outside

Things she hates this month...
Getting dressed and undressed
Car seat – yes I know, she loves the car but hates her car seat.
Waking up – it takes her an hour or so to actually wake up from a nap.

Welcome to Parenthood

Andy and I are sitting down to dinner with Caroline in her bouncy seat right next to us. Half way into dinner, I hear a choking sound under the table, yep that’s Zoe, our cat, throwing up. Wonderful! As Andy gets up to assess the damage, Caroline decides to start screaming. So, I’m dealing with the baby, Andy is on his hands and knees under the table cleaning up cat throw and then the phone rings. Andy and I stop what we’re doing, look at each other, smile, and start laughing.

One Month

One month, already? I have a feeling I will be saying that a lot. These past weeks have gone by so fast; it’s amazing how much she has grown. At her one month appointment she had already gained 2 lbs and grew 3 inches. It truly amazes me that just a few weeks ago she was still inside me, kicking away and now she’s here, in our arms. Andy and I are truly blessed that she’s are in our life.

Things she loves

Sucking –she loves our pinkies. I think she would suck on our fingers all day long if we let her.
Tummy time
Smiling (on purpose) No it’s not gas. She actually smiles when she sees us. This has to be my favorite thing she is doing right now
She found her voice – she is a grunter and a screamer, no cooing here.
Bath time – she looks so relaxed sitting in the sin

Things she hates
Pacifiers
Changing her clothes
Waking up

I guess there’s not much she doesn’t like these days, I’m sure that will change though.

Happy One Month Birthday Pretty Lady! (aka Daddy’s little burrito)
