7 months
I started this post when she turned 6 months and am just now getting around to finishing it. At 6 months, she was 12 pounds 6 oz and we have since had TWO weight checks (annoying little things) and she's now 13 pounds 5 oz! YAY! She's steadily gaining weight and doing well. Luckily, we haven't had to add formula to her diet. I've been eating good fats and she's been eating more solids and it seems to be a good combo. She's had rice cereal, peas, green beans, squash, and carrots. She likes carrots and tolerates the rest. Her first facial expressions were hilarious! (Since then, she's also enjoyed sweet potatoes, bananas, prunes, and peaches.) She's a pro and sitting on her own and scooting around and I think we'll be officially crawling in the next day or two. Her favorite things to go after are shoes, Ben's beloved magnetic letters (which he will NOT share), and his sippy cups. They are the 12mo+ ones (I haven't bought any since) and she can get the juice out. haha. She's a strong sucker! I think this is my favorite stage of babyhood.
We had some family pictures taken on Saturday and got a few back. This one is my favorite so far:

A few of Ben's favorite things
Here are some of Ben's favorite things at 23 months:
Book: his Jesus book (called My Little Book About Jesus--he turns every page and points to Jesus about a zillion times each day)
Song: probably itsy bitsy spider, but I think do as I'm doing would be a close second
part about nursery: naptime! he has fallen asleep 3 out of the past 4 weeks, which really sucks for us because then he doesn't nap at home and I really miss my 3-4 hours of afternoon bliss
Food: mac and cheese, broccoli/peas, ketchup, bread, fruit snacks, all fruit
TV show: word world--it's more like an addiction
toy: blocks/dirty clothes. he's not so interesting in building with the blocks as he is putting them in piles
chore: laundry--he loves to load and unload the washer and the dryer
Just a side note...he's starting to say some words!! YAY! He can say mama, dada, wow, moo, baa (although it's more like maaa), this, two, and maybe a few more. Sometimes I think I here stuff and I wonder if I'm hearing it because I want to or because he's actually saying it. Last night, Alex and I both thought he randomly said here we go! He shakes his head no for most everything and can sign please if you ask. I need to work on it more. At least there's some progress!

Our Dream Home

An Exciting Night at Work
If you didn't know, I work in a pharmacy. Other than the occasional angry patient (or sometimes frequent angry patients) work isn't usually too exciting. And that's the way I like it. This past week was a little different. One night at about 11:50pm, a guy walks up to the counter where I am standing ready to greet him with a smile and demands all of our oxycodone. He threw a bag on the counter, flashed a weapon at his side and succeeded in scaring the heck out of me. My eyes got really big and I involuntarily started backing away from the counter. I looked toward my pharmacist who was unfortunately at the other end and started calling his name. He didn't look up at first so I tried to sound more insistent. Luckily, he sensed something was wrong and came over. He told me to head to the back and I got completely out of the pharmacy and called 911. I didn't want to be stuck in some sort of hostage situation! All in all, the guy left before my pharmacist came back with the drugs (he stalled) and the police came shortly after that. I kept thinking that I need to memorize what this guy is wearing and what he looks like but fear is a bit paralyzing and I didn't remember anything useful. Oh the joy of dispensing drugs!

I'm Gonna Miss This
Complaining, saying I can't wait to turn 18
She said I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
Then she kissed her head and said I was just like you
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Before she knows it she's a brand new bride
In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her It's a nice place
She says It'll do for now
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
Daddy shakes his head and says Baby just slow down
'Cause You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'
She keeps apologizin'
He says they don't bother me
I've got 2 babies of my own
One's 36, one's 23
Huh, it's hard to believe
But you're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
You're gonna miss this
Yeah, you're gonna miss this
ice cream at great grandma's
she can sleep anywhere!
first smile
Sedona--isn't that just the cutest outfit?!
i love this hair
