Word to the wise...

If you accidentally buy Turtle brownie mix instead of Fudgy brownie mix, it will take you 30-45 minutes to "strain" the nuts from the brownie mix using your colander.

Not that I would know.

And, just because I can
{because SHE can},

I present, "The Crawler."

So we can call it official, right?

These are a few of my favorite things...

** Peanut Edition **


So, since I am the ripe ol' age of 7 {almost 8} months, I have quite a few things that I really, really love. I have just discovered most of these things over the past few weeks and MAN, I have really been missing out!

1. Vents. They are on the ground and I love to scrape my fingers over them. I always find my way over to the vents.

2. Itty bitty, tiny pieces of....anything. I can find lint, plastic wrappers, the tiniest speck of dirt. Of course, I am not allowed to have any of it {which does NOT make me happy}, but I think of it as helping mommy and daddy keep the floor clean!

3. Screaming/screeching. Oh have I found my voice this month. Why doesn't everyone else in the world know that they are supposed to be looking at me all the time? I make sure they notice me one way or another.

4. Spitting/Raspberries. See item above. If screaming doesn't work, I blow raspberries until I think I might burst a blood vessel.

5. Tags. I kind of think it's funny that people spend money on buying me things and all I care about is the tag on the toy! Can yall guess what Christmas will be like??

6. Saying "boowboowboow". This rhymes with cow. I say it all the time.

7. Reaching out to grab everything. As evidenced below:



8. Eating....everything. As evidenced below:


9. My 2 bottom teeth!!

10. Being sooo much fun! Mommy says this is her favorite month ever. "Crawling", pulling up, and every other active thing I can do! My plan is to keep them as busy as possible for these next few months!

I hope yall enjoyed my first post...I'm sure I'll be back soon!

One more...

Yes, it's true....there's tooth #2!!!

This actually came up 2 days after the first one did. At first it looked like 4 teeth {and it still kinda does}, but I'm pretty sure there's only 2!

This weekend, Reese was definitely more fussy than normal, but since both teeth are growing more and more each day, she's back to her normal chipper self!

Also, I'm a bad mom and took NO pictures of my child's first Thanksgiving!

I might just put her back in her cute outfits {yes, she had a wardrobe change} and take some pics!

Thankful...

She's no vampire...

...but, she could draw some blood.

Remember just yesterday when I talked about how there were no pearly whites in baby girl's mouth??

Well.

Apparently, she just wanted to prove me wrong, because today there is a tooth!!

I'm sure there is a technical name for the tooth, but I shall refer to it as...the bottom right tooth.

Of courrrrrrrrse, she would allow no photos, so I drew you a fabulous picture so you can see exactly which one it is!

Hahaha, this looks just like Pnut right??
{no her tooth is not green}

And yes, that little sucker is sharp!

7 {& 1/2} months!!!

Sooo, we're closer to 8 months now, but I still must post this!
If you haven't noticed, these are becoming slightly more challenging to take!

By the way, I have mixed feelings on baby jeans. They are ahhhdorable. But they have a tendency to make 7 month olds look like 7 year olds and I am NOT ok with that.

Some random bits of info:

~Wearing 3-6, and some 6-9 month clothes
~ Size 3 diapers
~ Eating EVERY single baby food option. Seriously.
~ Babbling and saying "mamama", "dadadada", and "babababa"
~ Going to bed between 7-9 PM and waking up between 8-10 AM.
~ Napping schedule is not as "scheduled"
~ NO teeth!
~ Can sit on her own. Very close to crawling. Can pull up {sometimes}.
~ Very smiley and such a charmer. Attention on her at all times please!
~ Bottle feeding is not fun. She has no time for that.

All in all, this month has been one of my favs so far. She is becoming more independent, and is sooooo happy! Besides when she's tired or hungry, she is just not a fussy baby. She has been teething for about 4 months and there are still no pearly whites. Oh well, I know I will miss how "babyish" she looks without them when they come in! Also, I think by the time I write her 8 month post, we will have a crawler on our hands!!


I promise to do better with blogging!

I'm pretty sure...

...there is NOTHING more adorable than this!!!

And yes, I know it is November, but I had to get some pics of my little monkey in her Halloween costume!!

This little bug turns 7 months tomorrow!!!
