Happy .5 Birthday!


Nate says I should just let the pictures speak for themselves. :)



She has started to pull herself up onto things. I have set her in her crib a couple of times to do something and this is what I turn around to. Time to move the crib down!

That's food - not snot. :) She has now tried sweet potatoes, applesause, beans, peas, bananas, and...I think I'm forgetting something. She loves most of them! (not so much the beans...) She's a very good eater too, which is good. :)



This has replaced the creepy growl. Nate calls it chirping. I think that's pretty accurate.

Also, her sweet little kisses have now turned into "don't try to make me kiss you or I'll attack your face!" She gets really bugged when Nate tries to kiss her a bunch. She'll push his face away and everything. It's pretty hilarious.


She has two teeth! Well, one is JUST about to pop through. I didn't even know she was getting them. She hasn't been more grumpy than normal or anything. I mean, she slobbers a ton, but she's done that for a couple of months. I hope teething is always that easy.

I don't know her stats because her appointment isn't until the end of the month. I tried to weigh her at our grandma's house and I think she's somewhere around 14 or 15 pounds...

She's tall - I know that. Well, either tall or way too skinny. So many of her pants are short on her. They fit her skinny little body, but are too short. :)

She is SUPER mobile. She can't exactly crawl yet, though she does get onto her hands and knees and at least move her knees (hasn't figured out the hands yet). Despite not "crawling" she will do whatever it takes to get to what she wants.

She sleeps mostly through the night. Usually she'll wake up a couple of times at night and just need her pacifier, but I never have to feed her until 6:30 or 7.

We sure love that girl! :)

Oh dear...

I put her in her crib to play while I folded and put away her clothes and turned around to this:
She did this on her own.

So I set her back down to see if she'd do it again.

I guess it's time to move the mattress down.

Creepy Baby

We didn't dress up for Halloween this year.


We didn't need to. Our baby has spent the last month just naturally being creepy.


Put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up!

I promise, it was only a taste.

Nate thinks I'm a bad person. I thought it was hilarious.

Sorry it's blurry - we had to catch it quickly.
