7 months!

Today we had Virginia kate's 7 month check up!! -- shots.... No fun!!!! But she is weighing in at 17lbs 15oz and 27 inches... 45th percentile for weight, 65th for length! And I think like 75th for head circumference! :) big head=big brain!!!

So far, so good! We thank the Lord for our healthy, baby girl!!

6 months...

I know I have said this a million times.... but seriously... WHERE DOES THE TIME GO??? I feel like I was just pregnant last week!!! I love every minute with this sweet baby, but I wish time would just STOP!!! I'm so thankful for technology that helps make the memories last!! Because it feels like Virginia Kate is growing and changing so much every day!!

6 month milestones for Virginia Kate.... obviously she is now sitting up on her own! Which I love!!!! 1st- it makes taking pictures of her so much easier! 2nd- she can sit and play with her toys which she loves to do!! You can tell she feels like such a big girl!! She is also in the grabby/put everything in her mouth stage! Still no teeth yet, but I feel they will be here soon!!

She currently weighs about 18lbs!! CHUNKER!!!! She is eating baby food once a day--- SUCH A MESS!! And she gets so easily distracted when I try to feed her-- I'll post some of those pics later...

puppies....puppies EVERYWHERE!!!

Yesterday some of our best regulars from the Grille invited us --- well mainly Virginia Kate over to play with their precious lab puppies!! They were the PERFECT size for Virginia Kate.... and she was the perfect size for them!! She just LOVED them! She is obsessed with our dogs Lucy and Black right now, so I knew she would love some little puppies all her size! It was so fun getting to see them play!!

This little one kept nibbling on her toes... she thought it was so funny!

Then they cuddled up next to her for a little rest!!

So precious!!

Wait... come back.. I still want to play!!

This was the sweet mama dog, Roux... she was so sweet with Virginia Kate and laid right beside her while VK just rubbed her head and grabbed her ears... such a sweet, mild mannered dog!!

If you want a sweet black lab puppy... these are PERFECT!!!!

You are my sunshine!

I always sing to vk... You are my sunshine my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray...I am sure you have heard the song! But she is my sunshine- she brightens my day every time I look at her! I worked the past two days in a row- so I was eager for some much needed vk-mommy time today! We have had a blast! First we started the day with baba in bed! She always drinks her first baba in bed with me! Then she went down for her morning nap while I went outside to sunbathe with my mom- who has been staying with us for the past few days while my dad is out of town for work and little Robert is backpacking for spring break! It's so great having her here to help with vk! Once vk woke up I put her bathing suit on her to come join the girls!

Gotta love that little pot belly!!!! Here are a few more!

Little model! ;)

Look at those chunky legs!!

Then we headed on a walk to the park!

Super baby!!

She loves her daddy!

And her Gigi!

Little ducky!

Then back in the stroller- ready for the ride back home!!

Such a fun day!!!
