.....and it continues

My little angel is growing way to fast! Since she has "mastered" crawling (in her opinion) she was ready to "master" something else. The past few days, Jade has been pulling herself up to standing on a diaper box. Well, yesterday while I was making dinner, I peeked into the family room and saw Jade on her knees with her hands up on the couch. She looked at me and smiled and then pulled herself right up! She proceeded to do this another 3 or 4 times afterward, so I know it wasn't a fluke! Here is a brief video, the quality is poor, but I think you can get the gist!

7 Months

If I were to describe Jade in one word at 7 months it would be active. This girl is go go go all the time. Perhaps this is why she is still giving us such great naps each day - an hour to an hour and a half in the morning and 2-3 hours in the afternoon! I know this won't last forever so we're definitely enjoying it before it's gone! :)

 

I was lucky to catch Jade still enough to not blur a picture. Three out of like 20 isn't too bad, right?

 

Love that smile!

Supermodel pose!

Of course, being silly!

 

Jade's unofficial weight at 7 months is 18 pounds 13 ounces. She loves eating yogurt, carrots and any kind of fruit. She goes after everything that is Charcoal's, she enjoys "watching" the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and she still loves reading books and when you sing The Wheels on the Bus. I'm so thankful for Jade and her ability to always make me smile. I'm hopeful she will babble Mama very soon! :)



Crawling

These last few days Jade's crawling (scooting/army crawl) has really taken off. She is constantly on the move, especially when she spots one of Charcoal's tennis balls. Today she literally crawled around the whole downstairs chasing the ball (more than once). Here is a little video of her on the move! Let baby proofing of the house begin!

 

 

Happy Halloween

I went back and forth as to whether or not I should take Jade trick or treating this year since she is only 6.5 months old and can't eat candy!! Well, I am so glad I decided to take her because she made the cutest little princess kitty!

 

My little kitty! Trying to draw whiskers on a baby isn't easy. I was happy to get what I did!

 

Nate had to work until 6 so he had to miss trick or treating. Luckily Grammy got out of work early and was able to come trick or treating with us!

 

Black cat and princess kitty ready to go! :)

 

Checking out her candy!

Jade kept grabbing for the Snickers bar!

Daddy got home in time to see Jade (and me) in our costumes! :)

Ready for bed in her skeleton jammies!
