Settle Down Mom...

Miss Olivia Mae had her 6 month doctor's appointment the other day and she is doing awesome! She is in the 68-80% for height, weight and head size!

The doctor confirmed that she was doing what she was supposed to and then she asked if she had been 'talking' at all.  She hadn't made a noise the entire time we were there (except when she got that second shot - then she screamed!).  When her Dad and I thought back she really hadn't been talking as much as she did a while ago. 

So of course as soon as the doctor leaves, we discuss.  "Do you think something is wrong with her?" "Why hasn't she been talking?" "Do you think it has something to do with her hearing?" (she didn't pass her newborn screening - but did pass with the specialist appointment).

Worry ensues.

Olivia to the rescue!

Seriously, the next day and every day since then she is talking and making cute little noises.  It's like she knew we were worried and decided "Don't worry I've got this!".

Love that little girl!

Learning...

I got all the tools to learn how to crochet! I even tried last night - I think I did a double row (not the right language at all, I know!) After that I got super confused because it was hard to see my stitches.  Maybe a different color yarn is in order? Any suggestions?

I will have to watch some YouTube videos to figure this out!

Dear Grandpa...

I am sorry I never got to come visit you before you went to heaven.  I am so glad you are no longer in pain.  They say in heaven the blind can now see.  I hope you are taking in everything you haven't been able to see for so long.  Be sure to watch over Grandma, she needs to feel your presence.  Please know that we all miss you very much.  We will think of you often and tell your stories to our little ones.  Rest in Peace Grandpa.  We love you.

sweet mohawk!

30 Day Challenge

I was perusing Pinterest a week or so ago and found a link to this 30 day challenge. 

I thought to myself...maybe this would get me out of my workout rut.

I have been doing this for a week and Holy Crap! I am so sore, my legs and arms feel like they are going to fall off!

They are quick, high intense workouts.  So far - I am loving it AND actually sticking to it!

Hopefully I can make it the full 30 days!

Where did my tiny baby go?

She was so little!

I miss that tiny baby but how could I not love this! I love watching her grow and develop!

How did I get so lucky?

Spent the weekend with my loves! All I could think about after we put the baby to sleep and I got to relax and have a beer with my husband was.... How did I get so lucky? Makes my heart tingle just thinking about it!

We have been feeding the little girl baby food for a while now.
Loves: Sweet Potatoes, Squash, Carrots, Apples
Likes: Peaches
Hates: Bananas

More to come! We are going to keep working on the bananas (because we have like 8 containers of them that were given to us).  And we have new flavors to try. It is so funny watching her try new foods.  She doesn't really make weird faces at all.  It is more like she is thinking - Oh that is different! Except the bananas.  That is the only one she will shut her mouth for!

Love weekends at home with my little family!
