washington adventures with eric, rachel, addelyn and payne

 Can't believe sweet girl will be a year so soon! These monthly pictures are getting harder to take-she'd rather be playing and getting around than sitting and smiling for me :)

Yet again it's been a big month for Miss Baysie. 

-crawling EVERYWHERE! and fast too-it's been a learning process for the big kiddos to learn to pick up their things or little sister will be into it!

-JUST GOT her first teeth-both bottom ones game in this week

(THE BEST TEETHER OF ALL OF MY KIDDOS-yah!!!!)

-She loves attention and has started waving bye to people-and just started saying "bye" - it's hilarious when we are in stores and she's just waving and saying bye constantly

-loves to dance (bounce up and down)

-has so much hair and it's craziness!

-still loves that paci

-sleeping in her bed and is no longer swaddled!!!! that's huge!

-loves attention from anyone and gives the hugest silliest grin ever-especially when you tell her to say "cheese"

-SWEET SWEET SWEET!

 

 

 

 they are buddies

 sweeties

 A few new things:

-eating more food

-just started to crawl (in her own cute way) - she never rolled to get around but was determined to keep up with big sister and brother

-started clapping and saying "yah" while clapping

-signs all done (well kind of)

-still LOVES her paci

-she is finally in her crib and next up-she will not be swaddled :)

 

she's still the sweetest and easiest thing ever - we love you baby Bays

had a few snacks for the Jedis

he wanted pin the light saber on Yoda...that's about the best Yoda I could draw! :) ha!

let the party begin

the kiddos went through an jedi training course

and at the end they battled Darth Vader..little did we know that Payne would be very afraid of Darth Vader (Eric)...so he sat at the table by himself while his friends fought 

and Darth Vader is defeated!

and the birthday boy is crying :( Eric took off his mask and things were all better! Sweet Payner

pretty sure he had a great time

Happy 4th Birthday crazy Payner

 Man, this girl is a cutie! Time is flying with her and we are loving every second.  She is such a good baby-smiles constantly-giggles all of the time-RARELY cries...WE ARE SPOILED! She has just started eating some food this past month...it's taken her a while to start liking anything but she's getting there!

new things with Miss Baysie

-food...favorite is baby MumMums and veggie straws

-has rolled a couple more times 

-LOVES her big sister and brother and giggles at them constantly

-ALWAYS is stretching her head looking for what's going on around her

-will just sit and play for quite a while-and stick anything in her mouth she can find

-still waking up once a night-we should let her cry but this mama loves that extra snuggle time :)

-still loves her paci and loves taking her brother's blankie away from him :) it's a game they play

This sweetness is 7 months old! Crazy how time is flying.  I hear almost daily by one of the older kiddos how much they love having a baby sister.  It's precious! Bays smiles constantly.  And it never gets old.  She still gets up once a night and smiles and giggles at me...probably why I still get up with her. She never "cries it out" like we made the big kids.  She is so spoiled with kisses, attention, hugs, being held, and pretty much whatever she wants.  But who can resist this sweet face :) 

-She still loves her paci

-sticks EVERYTHING in her mouth

-has just started sitting up like a champ

-can roll a little but usually has no interest in it

-is so nosey and always wants to know what her brother and sister are up to :)

-she is still swaddled and in her cradle...one day soon we will transition her out of this but it's hard when she sleeps so good!

-she's started eating a little baby food but not too interested in it yet

-giggles, giggles and more giggles :)
