So Babydog turned 11 months old yesterday, and since we are back in my hometown celebrating Christmas with my family we decided to celebrate Babydog's one year birthday. The Hubby had a great idea to have her smash cake also serve as a gender revile cake for baby #2- so we had our sonogram on Wed had them fax the gender to a bakery here. Yesterday was the big day to celebrate Babydog and new baby's gender. Here are a few pictures!!
PS it is a girl!!
So I have been away for a long time. It makes me sad that I can't make time for blogging, I love to do it even if it is just for me to read. Lately I have not made the time because I have been exhausted!! This is due to two things...
1. Babydog is 9 month old and about to be walking she has gotten so brave taking a step and falling down. We do a lot of encouraging to get her to try again! It seems sooo crazy that 9 months ago we did not have her in our lives and now she happily consumes them.
The 2nd reason was planned, but happened a little sooner than expected you see I am PREGNANT! The hubby and I are so excited, but also a little over whelmed baby 2 is due the end of May making the babies about 16 months apart. That part freaks me out a little, but my hope is they will be such close friends and playmates!!
If you are a reader of my blog then you know we did not find out with Babydog if she was going to be a boy or a girl. Well this time we are, just to help us all prepare we should find out just before Christmas. I will go better about posting!
I miss y'all!!
Things have been CRAZY!! So sorry for being away for so long I have a huge random post coming soon- I have stopped and started it several times! I hope all are doing well!! Here is one of the reasons I have been crazy busy- Babydog is 8 months old!!
Well Babydog has discovered a new toy… the problem is it only shows up once a day and for only a short time!! It is the sun- you see we spend the majority of our day in the living room {it is the only room we have super baby proofed} and the sun shines through the back windows at just the right angle the be mesmerizing!! I have had fun the last few days watching her discover what it is and where it comes from and the fact that it only appears for a SHORT time during the morning!! Here are a few pictures of her "playing" in with the sun... And one of her just being super cute!! Sorry they are out of order I am using the mobel app and I can not figure out how to edit and move the pictures!!
Hope y'all had a great weekend. We had a productive one the Hubby replaced the windows in the guest room and In Babydog's room.
Babydog and I did a little shopping this morning and she had her first ride in the cart! Hope y'all have a great Monday we are so far!!
Dear Baby girl-
WOW where has the time gone I can not believe you are 6 months old! It seems like you were just a newborn yesterday- we were getting up every 2 hours 45 min. to feed and comfort you because you did not sleep well. Now you are a champion sleeper {at night} you have a harder time sleeping during the day!
You are wearing size 3 diapers they are huge compared to the newborn ones you came home in! You are also wearing 6-9 month clothes and are growing so fast! Yesterday at your 6 month check up you weighed 17 lb. 14 oz- that is almost over 10 pounds you have gained in just 6 months!
You are such a mover we can not keep you still you crawl all over the living room and flip from tummy to back and back again all the time- you are sitting up all by yourself and believe it or not you are trying to pull up on daddy and me. You love to stand {with support} and Dr. Kat thinks you will be walking by 9 months {we will see!}
You eat like a champ too- in the morning you are having rice cereal or oatmeal {we will be adding fruit today I hope it goes well!} then you have several bottles during the day followed by veggies for your evening meal you love sweet potatoes, and green beans!
You love bath time and pool time- you are truly a water baby! Too bad we have to limit your water and outside time because your skin is sooo dry {eczema} :(
You are such a joy and delight to have in our life I can not imagine a day without you- your laughter ans squeals are my favorite sounds and I would be truly be lost without you!
Some days I wish you would stop growing, but others I am so excited to see what you will do next- Keep growing strong and smart you beautiful girl Mommy and Daddy love you so much!
