Jemma - 7 months

Seven things I want to remember about you at 7 months!

1. You are the happiest and most easy going baby

2. You poop almost every time you are in your bumbo seat ;)

3. You have a ridiculously strong grip and you grab everything

4. You still sleep in your swaddle

5. You still prefer mommy & daddy and have been known to tear up when strangers talk to you

6. You giggle every time Charcoal plays frisbee, and it's adorable

7. Those eyes and that smile

About 3 weeks ago we said goodbye to my beloved 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee and purchased our first car together as a family! The 4 of us spent all morning (and a good portion of the afternoon) at the dealership. Jade enjoyed sitting in ALL the cars in the showroom! What she didn't enjoy was saying goodbye to the Jeep. In fact, she made quite the scene (yes kicking and screaming on the floor) that she didn't want the new car and that she liked my old car! Poor kid hates change. I was pretty sad to let me Jeep go too, but I'm pretty excited about the new ride! ;)

Goodbye 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee...

Hello 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara!! :)

While this will be my primary vehicle, it will very much be a car that everyone in the family will enjoy!

Nate was a master negotiator, and went back and forth several times with the salesman until we got the perfect deal! Part of the deal was new black rims & a soft top for the summer that had to be ordered! Well, we finally got them last Wednesday! Just a quick picture Nate snapped when picking it up!! LOVE!

Six Month Photos

Because February doesn't ever have 30 days, Jemma will never have an official half birthday!! Also, she doesn't go to the doctor for a while (I dropped the ball on scheduling the appointment) so I will leave you with some of her ridiculously adorable 6 month pictures and will provide her stats and updates at a later date!

J&J Update

- Jade -

- She is officially done with pull-ups at nap and overnight!

- She got her first haircut and styling. (The haircut was mostly just a trim, doesn't look a whole lot different)

Excited to go to her haircut!

She loved riding in the blue Mustang while watching Mickey!

Modeling her new style!

- Jemma -

- Started solids! First was oatmeal (that was a no go) and second was carrots (that was so-so). She didn't seem quite ready, so we waited another week and tried again. First up was sweet potatoes (those were well received) then squash (favorite so far) and most recently was peas (not at the top of her list)!
