Easter

Easter Party

Annual Easter Party!

This is one of my favorite holidays.

I don't really know why specifically, but it is.

And it was at our new house this year.

Although we have many things we are trying to get in order at the new house- like grass to grow- in due time things will be just the way we like.

Cousins.

Seven Months

Fee.

That is what we like to call you.

I cannot believe how big you are getting. You are rolling and scooting yourself all over the place more and more each day. You love anything and everything that is NOT a toy. This includes paper, leaves, my earrings, your sister's hair... and the list goes on. You can get from sitting position onto your belly and vice versa.

Baby food wise you eat anything and everything. There is nothing that you have refused. You do make some funny faces though. And you want anything that we are eating and get so mad if you can't have it.

You can finally reach with your feet in your walker and jumper. You enjoy both of those activities more now.

You are on a pretty good schedule for the most part. 3 naps a day at pretty predictable times- morning, lunch and after we pick your sister up from school.
 And you are officially in your crib!!
Hallelujah!!
This was a major milestone for you.
We made several attempts in the past and it was very unsuccessful.
I believe you were finally just ready because it was an easy transition this time.

You have two bottom teeth! They have already broken through. This wasn't surprising. Madelyn got her first few teeth around 7-8 months.

You are a very happy baby who knows what she wants!



The Governor's Mansion Egg Hunt 2017

Every year for the last couple of years I have tried to get us into the Governor's Mansion Egg Hunt.

We finally got in this year.

It was a beautiful day and we had fun.

 

 

6 month check up

We started seeing a new pediatrician for this visit!

As much as we will miss Dr. Luk I will enjoy having some place closer.

Ophelia was great for the visit.

The visit was quick and mostly painless.

Length: 25 3/4 inches (38th percentile)

Weight: 13 lbs. 5.6 oz. (5th percentile)

You are just a little nugget, but doctor said you are growing just fine. You had a few shots today too, but you cried for a second and that was it.  

Six Months Old

Six months old. 

Where have you been?! 

Six months of trying to figure you out and this month has been the best one yet!

You play happily on your own for a few.

You are on a more predictable schedule.

Smiles for days!

A few chuckles- hard to come by though just like your sister.

 

You are still sleeping buckled up in the rock n play for naps and at bed time. 

You take a 1 1/2 to 2 hour nap in the morning followed by an hour nap before we pick up your sister from school. Then another hour nap after we pick up your sister. 

You have officially started baby foods. 

You scream for another bite. 

You want all the baby food!

You have begun pushing with your toes and grabbing and reaching with your little hands to maneuver around on the floor. You also get on all fours and rock back and forth.

You can sit on your own. 

You are still snuggly as ever and you are definitely clingy. 

Anyone else tries to hold you and you usually cry. 

Luckily you let daddy hold you. 

Two white spots are showing in the bottom front of your mouth. 

 

 Loves carrots.

All the cousins.

 

 

 Feeding time.

 All the snuggles.

Engineering Gala

Matt was part of the group invited to attend the Georgia Engineering Awards.

It was fun to get all dressed up.

We do not do that very often... or really not at all- neither one of us had ever been to a black tie event.

My parents came over and put both of the girls to bed and thank goodness they did great!

My dress- a JCPenny find!
