8 Months!

Wow, our little Moey is 8 months old. She is doing so much and is growing way too fast!

At 8 Months...

She is almost a crawler! She works so hard to move, however, her leg always gets stuck! Maybe by Christmas she will be crawling. I am perfectly fine with her staying where I put her!
Moey LOVES to eat puffs. While we get her dinner ready, she sits in her chair and devourers her puffs. She is starting to eat more mixed fruits and veggies. We still stay far away from peaches and sweet potatoes! Her current favorite is the apple /strawberry/banana from gerber. Recently she has been very interested in feeding her bottle to herself, she always holds it in her right hand.


Snuggle Papa.
 Moey is still an awesome sleeper. Moey is def. our child, she just loves to sleep! She does sleep in her crib occasionally, she just loves to co-sleep and we love co-sleeping too. We are just fine with having her in bed with us! She sleeps so soundly = happy baby = happy well-rested family!

Moey is also starting to dance. When she hears music or we sing to her she dances!

She loves to climb up people. Whenever she gets close to us by scooting over to us, she starts to climb. She also does this all over the bed too. It is so funny. 

Moey loves books, she has started turning pages!!

 8 Month Photo Shoot!




 (Moey did not do this on her own! hehe)


We just love you Moey moo. Cant wait for your first Christmas.

Family Pics!


A couple of weeks ago we met with our good friend from college, Roni. She is an excellent photographer. She actually took pictures of Moey in the hospital after she was born. We met at Beckwiths Orchards in Kent. It was a lot of fun. Moey dressed up in her duckie costume for some really great shots!

Enjoy!

7 Months!

Time sure does fly when you are having fun!

Moey turned 7 months this past Wednesday. The time is flying by and each and every day is more fun.

The month of October was very busy and a lot of fun. We visited our family for Moey's cousin's baptism, Papa was one of JD's Godfathers.
 All dressed up! Even purple shoes!
 Brothers and their babies, and Auntie Jenn!
 Uncle Mike meets Moey for the 1st time!
 Handsome Evan.
 Sweet JD. 
 Gamma and Addy.


Also, this past month has been a bunch of firsts for our little Moey Moo.....
 We now sit up in shopping carts! She LOVES it. Its a whole new world up there in that seat! We surround her with toys, mum mums a blankie and a sippy and she is one happy girl!

 Moey loved Halloween! She was a duckling.
We celebrated a little early with Lucy and got to wear our costume a couple of times!
 Playing with big pink ball! About a week after this big pink ball got very sticky and no matter what we did....big pink ball had to be thrown away. It was a very sad day!
 Snuggle duckie!

 A new trick that Papa likes to do to make Momma nervous. Moey likes to eat Papa's hair.

 Papa and his duckling.

Moey got her first big illness this past month: croup. It was very scary. As soon as we went to the doctor and got some steroids she was a lot better. However, we also found out she had an ear infection. 10 days of antibiotics that didn't taste so yummy made for a cranky Moey. 
 Popsicles always make us feel better. 
 Tutus are much better when worn on the head....btw.

This sight made us realize....okay already its time to break out the big kid seat!
 Poor squished baby. 
 Testing out the new seat!
 First car ride in our new car seat...hey this thing is really comfy!

7 Month Old Moey

Moey as a 7 month old...

We didn't have an official doctors appointment for this month, but when we went for the croup, she was 19 pounds 2 oz. Almost one whole pound more than last month!!!!!

-Moey really wants to be on the move!
She finally rolled over from her back to belly on October 24th. She hasn't done it much since but at least we know now that she can! Her new trick is when she is sitting up is to get on her belly. She is quite good at it now! She does that move especially when there is a toy out of reach. She can also pivot herself around quite nicely when on her belly and when sitting.

-Even though we don't let her watch a lot of TV, she LOVES the TV show Fresh Beat Band on Nick Jr. She sits right up and moves her arms up and down when the show starts with a HUGE smile on her face. Papa likes to call it "FBBs".  On Tuesdays when Momma is at class they get to enjoy that show together.

-Moey is still a good eater. I can see her becoming a little bit disinterested in her bottle. She really likes when I feed her and is okay with Papa feeding her if I am not around. She loves her sippy and is still practing how to drink out of it. She is better at tilting her head back to get the milk! Now Moey eats solids three times a day at school. She has a mid-day snack which is usually a bottle, some fruit and a mum mum. She needs to eat to keep up with all that growing she is doing!

-Moey still sleeps through the night! She takes three naps a day about an hour long each. On weekends she usually only takes two naps because we all like to sleep in. :)

- I can tell that she is starting to understand more. Moey has been lifting up blankets to see what is underneath and is starting to anticipate tickles or peek a boos. Smart Girl!!! She responds well to her name and she loves to listen to books. Moey says DaDa whenever he comes into the room. She LOVES her Papa.

- She is starting to object when you take a toy or other object away. It isn't too bad though, as long as we distract her with something else!

I can't wait to see what the next few months are going to bring. We are super excited for the holidays!!!


There is nothing better than being a Momma!
