7 months!

happy 7 months to sweet baby hayes!  time is flying!!

during your 7th month you have:

*mastered sitting up all alone

*eaten lots of new food.  your favorite is apple butternut squash.  today you had corn & butternut squash which you gobbled up.  think squash is your fav veggie.  you eat any fruit pretty well.  bananas are not your favorite but you will eat them.

*moved to mostly formula with a few breast milk bottles few & far between.  

*moved from sensitive formula to earth's best organic formula.  we never were able to move your sis off of the ever so expensive allementum so this is really something!

*stained more clothes with your messy eating, messy diapers, messy drool and messy spit up.  you are a complete mess!

*laughed and laughed and laughed.

*been rocked to sleep in the church nursery.

*mastered taking your paci in and out of your mouth.

*become completely fascinated with both our animals.  you've pulled beau's fur and he took it well.  you tried to do the same to bella but luckily i caught your hand just in time.  your hand would be a perfect snack for bella so watch out sister!

*spent a whole weekend without mommy!!  i went on our women's retreat with our church this past weekend in pawley's island and you stayed home with your daddy & sis.  you did great!  you love him so much!  sk is pure entertainment for you.  y'all played at home, napped well, went to lowe's twice, went out for lunch, went to publix, watched some movies and other than that....y'all missed me of course!! ;) 

*you like me to hold you so much, but you do play well in your "stations" for short periods of time.

*you do well in your carseat now.

*took your first trip to blowing rock.  did great!

*mixed in with your baby jibber jabber you are starting to make sounds like "da da da." your dad thinks you are talking to him.  maybe you are - sk says you are.  i have my doubts.

we LOVE mary hazel lucy!!!!  you are really special, beautiful and wonderful, haysie may.  we are all very happy that you are ours (sk loves you so!)

hayes likes to eat her toes....

i caught sk holding hayes' hand.  probably made hayes' day!

swinging together today in this beautiful weather!!

snuggling in blowing rock

happy 7 months, sweet girl.

*update - also, happy birthday to jon-jons!!  glad we got to eat dinner with you last night.  sk's favorite part about mondays is seeing jon-jons car in our drive way as we get home from dance.  "is he here??  is jon-jons here??  will we have pizza???? is he here, is that his car????"
i couldn't remember how old i was the other day when one of my friends (aka - publix cashier) asked so who knows about his age.  ha!  no, i'll be 34 in august which makes him...yikes....36 today...yikes, seriously how did this all happen!!??
