This cute girl turned 8 months old while we were on vacation in St. George and Lake Powell. For such a little girl she has done some pretty fun stuff in her short life so far! July was a big month for our family...here is what we have been up to....
We celebrated Adalynn's first 4th of July. We all dressed up in our red, white, and blue for church and Adalynn had the cutest outfits for the 4th,
We stayed up late and watched fireworks all over the city from Aunt Lee's deck. It was perfect because there was no noise to scare the baby. Although she probably would have been just as happy playing with her glow stick wand in our dark living room.
Baby A hit two big milestones this last month!! The day after she turned 7 months old she learned to crawl!! It did not take long before she was crawling all over the place and then trying to pull herself up onto anything she can reach. It only took her two weeks to figure out how to get up the stairs from our living room to our kitchen. Except she hasn't figured out how to go down them yet, so once she is up there she just waits and the top and hollers at me for help. She is into everything and lots of trouble! Good thing it's cute trouble!
.
A week after she started crawling she cut her first tooth! And then her second tooth just over a week later. It is nearly impossible to get a picture of baby teeth but trust me, they are there and they are sharp.
She also started babbling "ma" and "ba" this month. She happily babbles "da da da da" all day long but it seems she only does "ma ma ma" when she is whining or crying. Little stinker...
Sunday best!
Adalynn and I flew to Denver again, this time to welcome Uncle Brad home from his mission to Ohio! She was great on the plane again and we had a really great trip.
It was their first time meeting each other, this picture warms my heart.
We missed you Uncle Brad, welcome home!!
My smiley girl really only gets cranky when she isn't fed. This little tantrum was thrown when she ate the last bite of her baby cookie. It's though to be a spoiled baby girl!
This girl loves the baby in the mirror so much! She will sit and stare and giggle at herself and give kisses to the mirror baby while I get ready in the mornings. It's pretty dang cute.
Adalynn also started sitting in high chairs at restaurants and in the cart at stores. It's like a whole new world for her and she loves it!
We went swimming at Aunt Lee's house to give the life jacket a test run before going to Lake Powell. She was not a fan. Hopefully it grows on her before our big vacation!
And to top it all off, Adalynn's very first cousin, Taten, arrived at the end of the month! She gets to meet Baby Tate soon and we can't wait!!
