7 months

 

Where did the time go little girl? Tomorrow you will be 7 months already, and I can't believe it.

I love you. Bea-do.

first camping trip

We went camping last night!  It was great, and Bea did awesome. She'll make a great outdoors woman!

We want to eventually go on a real hiking/camping trip, but last night was a trial run.

We went a mile down the road to our city campground Tourist Park. It's a great campground and not at all what you think of when you hear "city campground."

Taking a nap in the tent.

Snuggles with Dad.

She LOVES swinging!

She is too cute.

"I'm over it Dad."

She can't quite sit up yet, so a blanket on the ground will have to do.

Hi pretty girl.

"Mama, why am I naked? It's cold out."

Jason slept in his hammock/bat net last night. It's SUPER comfy.

I love the look on her face in this picture. She just puts up with me.

happenings

 

We are enjoying our summer up here, and getting ready for our BIG move.

I've already started purging, packing, and pricing items for our massive yard sale.

Bea has been doing great! She is usually smiling, laughing, or giving us her serious look. (something like the picture below)

She's doing great at rolling over, even though I'm still surprised when she does. She's not quite sitting up, but is getting better at it, and still no teeth!

We took a hike yesterday along the Dead river and I couldn't believe all of the different kinds of wild flowers.

This is Bea's new dress that I finished last night. I love it so much I think I'm going to have to make about a bazillion more!

Have a happy Monday!

6 months

When you were born you were so little. fragile.sleepy. and you looked like this:

Today, you look like this:

Too Big. Beautiful. Serious. Joyful.

You had your first cereal today and I cried the whole time. You just seemed so old.

I'm not ready for you to grow up, even though you change every single day.

You are 18 lbs and 26 in. long.

Thank you for bringing me joy every single day.

You are beautiful in every single way, and I'm so excited to see you little person you are becoming.

She's been falling asleep with her blanket over her face. Thank goodness there are holes in it.

spring was in the air...seems winter isn't over yet!

Jason's MFA reading last Friday night. He did awesome and is so close to finishing the novel!  Go Jason!

We took a walk on Sunday, it was so nice, the little girl didn't even have to wear socks!

Plumb tuckered out.

We hooked up the swing in the front yard. Not sure how she feels about it.

Pure love!

When you wake up in the morning babbling and talking to your self, I forget the laundry still sitting unfolded.

When you kick and splash like a crazy lady in the bath tub, I forget the screaming fit you just had.

After you laugh and smile at everything I do, I forget that it's been days since I've been to the gym.

When you sit and snuggle with me, I forget that I should have eaten an hour ago.

That smile you give me when you see me, the one you give when you wake up from your nap, makes me forget that I needed a nap too.

When you grab my fingers and won't let go, I forget about that shower I've been trying to take and the sewing I've been trying to get to.

And when I put my hand on your chest at night before I go to bed, to make sure you're still breathing, I forget what life was life without you.

Watching the first tigers game of the season with dad.

Throwing darts with dad.

Loving her new jumper!

Get a load of those cheeks.

 

Baby girl. I love you so much it makes my heart hurt.

I am so thankful for you.
