Shh...baby sleeping

Wow...baby sleeping for almost 2 hours. She doesn't usually take more than a 15/20 minute nap. I guess it's all that speed crawling she's been doing lately. She must have crawled and I mean crawled..really really fast..into the kitchen about 10 times or more. It was a fun game of see how long it takes mommy to tire out. Well mommy has been tired out a long time ago, long before the game of fetch the baby. I think I could use a 2 hour power nap myself. :)

Wordless Wednesday

Mommy is a Slacker

I titled this post appropriately. :) I started this blog telling myself that I would keep it updated. If not everyday than at least every week. Well what do you know that didn't quite go as planned. It's been a while.

Little L is quickly approaching 9 months. She's standing on her own but has yet to take those first steps and when she does, watch out! She's already a handful, haha. She speeds crawls from one end of the room to the other when she wants to get something. The IPhone has become increasingly appealing to her and she loves to try and scroll things across the screen. I'm not sure if an 8 month old should be figuring out how to use the phone. :)

We went to the zoo the other weekend and she seemed to enjoy herself. Although she was watching the people a little more than the actual animals. She even got a little penguin shirt that she has worn already and of course looks adorable on her. She's fitting into 12 month shirts already. They are a tad bit big on her but you can tell that she's growing. Her next dr.'s appointment is in a couple weeks. This time no shots! YAY! That will make baby AND Mommy very happy!

I'm starting to think about Little L's first birthday. I want it to be special and fun but how much is a one year old really going to remember? hah I got a magazine in the mail yesterday for first birthday decorations. There are so many cute ones but it can get to be expensive so we'll see what we decide to go with. I also have seen some extremely cute Halloween costumes. I have to get her one. I'm thinking ladybug. My husband thinks flower. Little L is probably thinking 'what is wrong with these people..and they're my parents, for real?' LOL

8 months!

Wow! That's about all I can say. I can't believe my little baby (who isn't so little anymore) is 8 months old. I think I say that every month as she continues to quickly approach that one year milestone. Little L is crawling up a storm and has now figured out how to pull herself up to standing. The only problem is getting back down which she hasn't figured out yet. The fireplace is now slightly cushioned and we've been working on picking up stuff around here that she could possibly get into. When did my baby get so mobile? It seems like it happened over night.

She's also been practicing picking up food with her fingers and eating it. She only has her two bottom teeth so far so she's only been munching on some Gerber puffs. She loves them and they keep her entertained when we go out to eat. It's funny when you put some down for her and she grabs them in one fail swoop and tries to put all of them in her mouth.

I made Little L some butternut squash the other day. She loved it. She has been expanding her culinary tastes with new foods all the time. I think she eats better than we do. :)
