8 Months

You will have to forgive me for running so late this month, but on the 13th our little Finley Ann was 8 months old. I have to say you are so much fun at this age. Around Thanksgiving you were starting to army crawl really well, and a few short weeks later you were actually crawling. It was so exciting for all of us! And much to my surprise you are pulling up on the furniture too.

I weighed you at home this month and you were 19 lbs. 2 ounces. I can't believe how big you are getting and independent I might add.
- Wear size 2-3 diapers
- Pulling up on the furniture
- Your hair is lightening up a lot
- Wearing mostly 9 month clothes
- Everywhere I go, you go. If I am in the kitchen, you are pulling up on my legs behind me!
- You are growing up and me makes me so sad!

7 Months

It's hard to believe our little girl is growing up and she is a whopping 7 months old! There are so many new things you can do:

- Sitting up
- Have been on your hands and knees rocking the past several days.
- Drinking from a sippy cup
- Wearing size 2 diapers
- Wearing mostly 6-9 months clothing
- Your hair is starting to come back in from the back
- Your eyes are still blue... I think they just might stay BLUE!
- When we say 'bye bye', you wave
- Outgrown your baby tub - we have been bathing you in the kitchen sink!
- Bedtime usually around 8pm
- More baby food, less formula!
- We visited the Fire Station over the weekend and a co-worker tried to say hello to you, and you turned to me, stuck out your lip and started to cry! It was the cutest thing, but I think that was your first encounter with an unfamiliar face. 

The Jumperoo

I finally put together the Jumperoo that we got from my brother. We set it up in the garage so that way Finley would have something to play in while we were out back. She loves it! 

Pumpkin Patch

Over the weekend Jeremy, myself and my parents took Finley to the Pumpkin Patch. We did the best we could since she can't sit up alone. We think she had a good time or maybe I had a great time.. I had never been to a pumpkin patch before, however, my vision was a little different. Maybe if we lived in East Texas would there have actually been a FIELD FULL of pumpkins. :)





Wordless Wednesday

Green Beans

We tried feeding you baby food last week and your poor face says it all! However, you were smiling by the end. Take a look...

6 Months

It's hard to believe you are HALF a year old! Here are a few things about you at 6 months old:

- 17 lbs. 4.5 ounces & 25 3/4" long

- Sit supported

- Wearing size 2 diapers

- Wear mostly 6 months clothes

- We think you are saying 'Bye Bye'

- This month you will be celebrating your FIRST Halloween

- Started sleeping on your tummy

- Baby food - we have tried Green Beans & Sweet Potatoes, none of which you liked, but I'm not giving up

- Had your FIRST haircut

- You are still one of the happiest babies I have ever been around and such a blessing to your daddy and I

Look how much you have grown over the past several months!

State Fair of Texas 2010

Over the weekend, our family did our annual family tradition and went to the State Fair. This big thing this year was deep-fried Frito Pie. I have to admit, it was tasty! We had the regular Flether's corny dogs, Texas tators, and funnel cakes.
