Learning to Crawl

Baby Awesome isn't quite there yet, but she is trying so hard to learn how to crawl...

Happy Birthday to Me!

On July 29th I turned 29! (That's my golden birthday.) So I put on everything gold that I owned and we had a little party to celebrate. Most importantly, there was lots of yummy cake.

My in-laws got me an awesome new purse. And sometimes I'm allowed to use it myself.

Also to celebrate the last hurrah of my twenties, my mom and I had a spa day - and it was fabulous. I was so pampered that I didn't know what do do with myself, and couldn't function for the rest of the evening.

And that's about all I have to say about that.

Look at that toothy grin!

Six Months Old!

At six months Vi is a smiley happy baby! She can do lots of new tricks:

Scoot around, especially backwards, but without purpose.
Sits up by herself for as long as she wants, and loves to play with the toys.
She has one little tooth that’s popping through.
She’s still wearing a few 3 month clothes, but mostly six months.
Today was her first day in the nursery at church. She did pretty well for missing her morning nap. She started to get fussy towards the end, and wouldn't take a bottle from them - surprise! - so by the time we picked her up she was pretty upset, but calmed down right away.
She’s eating about 20-24oz of soy formula a day (she’s the most distracted eater… trying to get a whole five ounce bottle down her is usually a struggle), and rice cereal, and she regularly eats pears, apples, bananas, green beans, and peas. She’s had peaches, squash, carrots and sweet potatoes, but they all made her spit up really bad so we’re waiting a little longer to try those again.
And speaking of reflux, she’s down to one dose of meds a day (she was at four, two kinds), and some days she doesn’t have any at all!

She’s such a sweet little thing. We love this baby girl!

The Latest Projects...

So this post is long overdue, but here are the projects that have been keeping us busy these last few months.

We planted a garden! This picture is really old now, but we've gotten a few tomatoes, a few cucumbers, and some jalapenos out of it already! It's WAY overcrowded because we had no idea what we were doing, but you learn as you go. Right?
