Ansley 6-8 Months ...

Christmas is over and instead of taking down decorations ... lets try our first attempts at making home made baby food for you sweet girl! Not to worry .. we are fully stocked with every flavor and combination Gerber can create and get into a jar ... but just for fun .. lets see what we can create!! 

Bananas seem like a good place to start ...



 ... But you may need some warm up time! Ha!!

 6 months had a lot of big milestones for this family...
  You were not sleeping through the night and mommy and daddy were very tired and ready to try just about anything.  Mommy got brave one night and took the gigantic leap of faith to move you from the comfort of being 2 feet away from me in the pack and play at my bedside to laying you down for the first time in your big girl crib, in your big girl room.  Mommy didn't sleep at all that night (daddy did just fine) ... and you had your very first ALL night sleep!! You were SO ready for that big girl bed ... and you did great! 

You also started eating all kinds of new and different fruits and vegetables ... some we made at home and some we let Gerber surprise us with their random combinations! You are a great eater!! You love just about everything ... with the exception of avocados. That is still a work in progress!!

Your development is right on track. You are long and lean with height in 75th percentile and weight in the 25th.  You drink your milk from your bottle like a champ; however, you refuse to hold your own bottle. I guess that is also a work in progress! Ha!














  7 months .. you LOVE bath time!! It may be our favorite time of day... you laugh from your belly when you splash and make a big mess!!


  Happy Valentines Day!! So excited to deliver presents to my Valentines at school!!



We made daddy a cheesecake .. 


... and our first home made crafts!

And you sent these flowers to mommy at work ...


 8 months ...
Daddy just accepted his new position and its time for a last minute road trip to Texas to celebrate with friends and family ... 

You met a cat for the first time .. we love sweet Noel!!


 And we finally got to meet and play with sweet miss Berkeley Faith!!
 First slumber party!!!!


Spa time with your Aunties!!!

My first softball game!! Rooting for my Krysten!!

You started crawling the day you turned 8 months old ... so let the chase begin!!
