Happy 6 & 7 Months sweet Caroline!

Happy 6 & 7 Months sweet Caroline!

Time is flying by and I am amazed you are already 7 months old... hints why the update is together... wish I could press the pause button!  

Sleep... You are doing great!  Your schedule is something like this... wake up around 7-7:30 and have a bottle then 1st nap around 9:3ish for an hour to hour and a half (if we are out you typically only sleep an hour in your car seat), then bottle around 11ish and lunch around noon, then nap around 1ish... if we are out this is your short cat nap, then bottle at 3 and nap at 3:30-4:30, dinner 5-6ish then bath and a little play time before books and final bottle and bed at 7.

Food... The last few weeks we have gradually introduced formula but you are 90% on mommas milk.  And you are doing great with oat meal and your baby foods.  Some of your favorites include peas, sweet potatoes, carrots and squash... you were not the biggest fan of green beans or apples... we will continue to press on and go through all the fruits!  In the last week or so we have started giving you puffs and other snacks and you are getting better and better at feeding yourself.  Working on those fine motor skills! :)

Play... You LOVE to play and you GRAB everything in sight!  You have started lunging forward to reach things, but are still not fond of being on your tummy.  You push up and have started rocking... but you don't last very long before your roll over.  We are working on getting your knees under your belly and to get you to rock more... I know you will be much happier on your belly when you discover you can scoot and crawl!  In time sweet girl... in time!

You are the sweetest and happiest baby girl and it is pure joy to be your momma.  You love your big brother and always keep your eyes on him watching his every move.  Your sweet giggles and noises are music to our house and your wet kisses are the BEST.  You are beautiful inside and out and we are so thankful of your sweet life.  Can't wait to see more of your personality come out in the weeks to come!  We love you to the moon and beyond!

Spring 2016 Family Photos!

We had the pleasure of working with a sweet friend of mine to take our family photos this spring and they turn out AMAZING!  These photos captured Ben enjoying a few of his favorite things... books, dinosaurs and ninja turtles!!  She is so talented and I'm so thankful to call her friend!  If you are in need of an amazing photographer for any and all things look for Lauren Giles!  She is awesome!  Check her out on Facebook...

Trip to the lake!

This past week we took a short trip to Lake Conroe and stayed at the La Toretta Resort for a little "Staycation" and it was wonderful.  Lots of fun for the kids and entire family.  We enjoyed the pools, lazy river, splash pads, slides, yummy food and drinks, s'mores, fireworks, fishing, golfing, and many sweet memories!  Look forward to going back and having more fun soon!
