We went to FLASH Portraits at Ridgdale Mall again. The same place we had her NEWBORN pictures taken. She had just turned 5 months old a week before and was still working on keeping her head up. I love her smiles though!
We also took a few of the 3 of us for our Christmas card:
Our laptop finally died. We knew it was on it's way out, but it had kept going. I guess it's time for a new one...yippee!
I have my everyday make-up that I wear and then I have this "back-up stash" that I keep extras, etc of things. I cleaned it out one evening. It so needed to be done.
I am obsessed with this certain brand of Kettle Corn. So good.
This was the SOLD sign that was on my new car! That was a great day.
She is sitting up all by herself so good and is so proud of herself!
Lately, when we cook meats, we have been cooking a whole box or bag at a time. With Wayne's diet it's just easier that way. THIS lovely cooking machine is very handy and helpful. Love it. And the clean-up is so quick and easy. This is how we grill in MN in the winters...sadly though we haven't had much of a winter.
My new eyeliner..that I love.
I titled this picture "Bebe do werk."
My cousin Beth's new lab puppy, Hunter. He is so adorable!
Me and my Dad took a trip up to Buffalo to check out Gramma's abandoned house. She moved to Arizona in October and it's a rather long story. Maybe one of these days I will actually write out the whole thing. It just makes me angry mostly though to even think about it.
She knows...2 hands on the wheel!
The Horton's new puppy, Mufasa! He is Hailey's size. Note that she just opens her mouth ready for him to kiss her. That's puppy kisses for you right there.
We had a playdate this week. JJ meat Hailey. He wanted to grab at her. She just stared at him. It was love at first sight. Daddy said NO BOYS!
My Husband made me breakfast one morning this week. Eggs, walffles, fruit and milk. It was heavenly.
Follow me on Instagram if you are on there: ladanielson.
I wasn't going to participate, but so many of the blogs I follow and people I follow on Twitter and Instagram are doing this, so I have decided to jump on the bandwagon for February. I will be participating in this. I don't know how often I will be posting, but I will be posting for those of you not on Twitter or don't have Instagram. If you do have Instagram...follow me (ladanielson) and I will follow you back.
I'm Loving my new car that you can read about HERE. Love it, love it, love it!
I'm Loving all the new Norwex product I received from my party in January. Stay tuned for a more detailed post soon.
I'm Loving this guy...and am so proud of him on this journey of weight loss that he has been on for the last 6 weeks. Stay tuned for a more detailed post about that soon, too.
I'm Loving this adorable little munchkin and all the happiness she brings me everyday!
I'm Loving that the sweet face above won the "Minnesota Baby Cutest Kid Contest"
through Minnesota Baby. Out of 15 other children she got the most 'likes' and 'comments' on her photo and won me $350 in housecleaning services from Merry Maids. Yay!!
Go link up with Jamie for WILW! What are you loving this week?
On January 12th you went to the Dr for your 6 month check-up and...
You weighed 18 lbs 6 oz. (86%).
You were 27 3/4 inches long (95%).
Your head was 17 3/4 inches round (96%).
You have tried all the beginner fruits and veggies and are now onto more diverse food combos, such as Banana Mango or Pear & Wild Blueberry for breakfast and Beef and Vegetable or Apples and Chicken for dinner.
You have pretty much liked everything you have tried so far.
You eat a fruit combo in the morning (with Oatmeal) and a vegetable/protein combo at night (with Rice cereal).
You eat about 4 oz of milk for daytime feedings and about 6 oz of milk at bedtime.
You are usually in bed by about 9pm and sleep until about 8am...on average. You are still sleeping great and Mommy really appreciates that.
You love to pull on the dogs hair. They have started to get a little nervous around you because you like to scream at them. It makes us laugh.
You still put everything in your mouth.
You are such a drool machine! You go through about 3-4 bibs a day.
(Do you see that string of drool? Can't get away from it.)
You love your jumperoo and your walker.
You are really grabbing onto things on your jumperoo and activity gym and pulling on them.
You now sit up by yourself for long periods of time.
You still have deep, gray eyes.
Your hair is still growing and Mommy actually had to cut your bangs. This is a before and after shot.
You are growing right on rack, but are still our peanut.
You are wearing a few 3-6 month clothing, but are mostly in all 6 month clothing and pajamas.
Your giggle is the best thing in this entire world.
You are officially in size three diapers.
You open your mouth when we kiss you like you are trying to kiss back.
You have two teeth now. Mommy and Daddy were so surprised, because you were not even fussy at all.
You have definitely found your teeth and make funny faces.
You are always talking and making noise.
You still don't care for your nuk at all. I can't even remember the last time you had it.
You still don't like tummy time, but pull your knees underneath you almost like you are ready to crawl. You don't last very long on your tummy at all, though and we find you rolling over to your back.
You love when we hold your hands and you stand up. You are so proud.
You LOVE your jumper you got for Christmas.
One morning Mommy put you in there for just a little bit and you fell asleep still holding your teether.
You LOVE bath time. We still do bath's in the infant tub, because you are just really starting to sit up on your own and Mommy is a nervous nelly.
You have so much hair, so one night I tried this just to see what your reaction would be. You didn't try and fight me or anything. You just laid there and loved it.
You rocked your first pony tail one night after bathtime.
You are the most adorable little human being on this planet and your smile is infectious.
We love you so much and cherish each and every single day with you!
