Happy Half Birthday!

6 months already?!?! Happy half birthday Monkey Moo! You finally figured out how to roll back from your tummy to your back and you really roll everywhere now! You've also figured out how to slide around the living room on your belly in the Superman pose using your arms to push yourself backwards. You were so proud of yourself the first time you made it accross the room! You've been eating more home made baby foods and seem to prefer veggies over fruit, but like tart fruits over sweet ones ( pineapple 😋) You are so very close to sitting up on your own. You'll pull yourself up to a sitting position if we hold your hands, and can sit for a few seconds before you topple over. Today was your 6th month check up, 4 shots (and I still cried over each one - I know babers, ouchie) And we've started some sleep training... Mostly we're training me. Not to pick you up each time you squeak, cause babers I need more than 2 hours of sleep at a time. Night one and we've made progress... 4 hours so far! Mommy and Daddy love you beyond words and are so proud of every little and big thing you do! Cheers to another month!

No Rest for the Weary

Little Miss, you will not go to sleep tonight. Every time I think you're out and lay you down your eyes pop right back open and you start crying. Your diaper is dry, you've eaten, we've rocked and patted, and walked and bounced. Read story's, sang lullaby's. And still. Wide. Freaking. Awake. Go to bed child. I told you babies under 2 feet tall should be asleep right now. You thought that was funny and graced me with an ear to ear grin. What's a girl to do?

Snuggles

Sweet little miss, I adore our snuggles! You definitely have a knack for making mommy and daddy feel special. When you get fussy all we have to do is pick you up. I'll put you up to my shoulder and you'll put your little arms around my neck and snuggle in. Sometimes it's all you need to fall asleep. Next week on June 4th I go back to work and you'll be spending your days with my sweet friend Sarah and her two little girls. I know you'll be in good hands while I'm working, but a large part of me is so sad to be giving up my days of snuggling you whenever you need it, and breastfeeding you full time. These precious moments have slipped by too fast and I will miss them with all of my being. I have cherished our 2 months of bonding so much! Mommy loves you Babers

One month

Hi baby E, tomorrow you'll be 1 month old! You are such a sweet little thing. Daddy and I are so in love with you! In this short month you've completely stolen our hearts and we can't imagine life without you in it. You love to lay on daddy's chest and pull his beard, and when you're not making him cringe you're gracing him with your adorable smile. You also gave him your first chuckle yesterday. Not quite a laugh yet, but he'll ask you if something is funny and you'll grin and chuckle at him. You really are a doll. You've been working on tummy time and have become quite strong, holding your head up for over 10 seconds at a time. You love to eat and you seem to have hit a growth spurt. You currently weigh 8 pounds and 9 ounces and are 22 inches long! You turn your head when you hear mommy or daddy talk to you, and you love listening to music and dancing around the living room with mommy. At birth your hair was dark, but has since lightened to an almo...
