6 Months!

Pretty Princess is 6 months old! I cannot believe how fast time is going by. It makes me sad to think she is 1/2 a year old, but excited to see what the future holds for her. At her 6 month appointment she weighed 14lbs 1oz (10-25%) and 26 inches long (50-75%). The doctor said her top 2 teeth look like they are close to coming in. I'm not sure I'm ready for more teeth she seems to think biting is quite funny. She has become quite the wild animal as we call her. Changing her diaper takes an army. Holding still just isn't her style. She flip flops all over the place grabbing everything in her reach. The doctor appointment was quite entertaining too. I couldn't wait for the doc to come in because it was all I could do to keep her still. She ripped the paper off the exam table then tried to eat it, then she pulled everything out of my diaper bag as I tried to fix the exam paper and then as soon as I could hand her toys she was throwing them on the floor. She keeps me laughing that is for sure. This past Sunday we had Claire's dedication. It meant so much to us to have all our family standing with us and committed to helping us raise Claire to be a Godly woman. Claire's Mimi and Aunt Kayla spent most of Spring Break with us and Claire sure had fun with them. Then over the weekend Claire's Nana and Pappaw and Uncle Eric and Aunt Jessica came in. Claire didn't know what to do when Monday came and all she had was Mommy. Mommy was quite boring to her and she decided to fuss at me all day asking where all the fun people went! Here are a few pics from Claire's dedication and some of her 6 month pictures that my wonderful friend Bekah took!

Loving Life

Not a lot of super exciting news to report, but life sure is good. Pretty Princess is growing and changing so quickly. I cannot believe she is nearing 6 months old. It is bittersweet how fast time is going. I love each new stage she is in, but I also miss her being so little and snuggly. She is trying so hard to get on her hands and knees and gets so mad she can't go and do what she wants. She is sitting so good all by herself and prefers sleeping on her belly which makes Momma so nervous. Within 5 minutes of being in her crib she has already rolled to her belly and fast asleep. I am curious how much she will weigh at her 6 month appointment.  I can tell she has grown because my arms sure are getting tired. She thinks her Daddy is the funniest person she has ever seen and has a special squeal she does only for him. It melts my heart watching those two interact and play.

We have a busy week ahead of us. Claire's Mimi (Eric's Mom) and sister Kayla are coming to visit during the week and then over the weekend my brother and his wife and my parents are coming to visit. On the 13th we are doing Claire's dedication at church and all our family is coming in. We are super excited to spend time and see everyone. I apologize in advance to anyone coming if Claire is not on her best behavior. She is in a bit of a stage right now where if Momma leaves her sight for too long she tends to freak out.

My little bugger will probably kill me for this when she gets older, but she loves her some nakey baby time. So of course Mommy has to snap all the cute naked baby butt pictures so I leave you with this picture of my tiny hiney!
