7 months


Our baby is 7 months old today!
She is:
busy
busy
busy
in constant motion


rolling around still, no desire to crawl yet
grabbing everything
putting everything into her mouth

not really into food, likes Mum Mums ok if desperate
very intense
babbling all the time, mostly still says "hiiiiiii" or "hey" but some bababa too
very cute and squishy

not sure about Lewis' facial hair (but let's be honest, who is?)
growing some cute blonde hair, but her cowlick is stressing me out because the one in the front goes in one direction and the one in the back goes the other direction
enjoys rough play-- when Cate was dragging her down the hall she loved it, she loves "wrestling" with the kids
hard to get a picture of in bad lighting because she won't sit still
tolerant-- great at putting up with going everywhere with us all day long and patient with the kids wanting to hold her all the time
good sleeper
naps getting more regular
goes with the flow
loves her siblings, fears Cate though
licked by the dog (who can blame her)
tasty
squishy
adored.
We love you baby Teluga!

A was in the spelling bee


She totally blew my mind and took 2nd place in her class bee which made her eligible for the school bee.  It was for all of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who took 1st or 2nd in their class bees.  She did a great job and made it to the 3rd round, going out on the word "faithful" which she actually knew how to spell, but nerves got to her and she missed the "i".  It was so fun to see her do it and overcome her fears.  She is a great kid! Way to go A!

Tonight when Cate was supposed to be in bed

We put our shoes out for St. Nicholas tonight.  I guess Cate decided to show the baby her shoes while I was busy with other things.  Am I the worst mom ever for whipping out the ipod to record it instead of stopping it?  Maybe but it's just so funny.  Enjoy and Frohe Weihnachten! (is that right Jenn?)

 
Was it swimsuit weather today where you are?  Because obviously it was here.  Darn tootin'.

Brooks man was so proud of his disguised Santa.  I'm so glad my kids haven't had teachers that expect them to do homework or projects that really mean the parent does the project.  This is the first time I've ever had to help him and it was actually all his idea, I just wielded the glue gun because I worry about him burning himself.  Isn't he cute?  Can you see Santa's eyes hiding in there?
