Let's Catch Up!!

So it's been a while since I've posted anything with the exception of AR's 6 month update.  Lots has happened over the past two weeks!  Let's catch up!

1)  AR has started turning over really well from back to belly!  This means that naps are a bit more difficult as she turns herself over and gets upset.  I normally have to go put her paci in her mouth a time or two now while she's trying to fall asleep for a nap.  She does sleep on her belly for a lot of naps though.  Below is a time when she wasn't too happy about being on her belly.

 2)  She is sleeping a lot on her side now and I think it's so cute!  We have also removed the bumpers since she's moving and turning now.  I have found that each mom has certain things they are particular about and this is one of mine.  I know many people don't but it was one of those things that just really bothered me and they wouldn't suggest doing it if other babies haven't suffocated b/c of them.  So until she's a bit older, they are out for now.

 

3)  AR is enjoying reading books more and more.  She also enjoys chewing them just as much if not more.  Daddy is doing a great job reading and uses lots of voice when doing so!

(I don't know why William had out his High School Musical cd?!  ;) )

 4) Two weekends ago we went to celebrate Grandmama and Daddy Mac's birthdays, but I don't have a picture with them.  AR loves visiting with her cousins!

Checking out AR

Out for a walk

The Trammell family loves their shades!  Looking too cool!  She really doesn't mind them at all.

5)  We are loving bath time these days.  Because of how the tub is made, AR is able to sit up on her on in the tub.  So we let her play with her duck for a bit now b/c she loves chasing it around in the water.

6)  William and I did our 5K but we didn't run it all completely.  He beat me by a good 6 min though and I'm proud of us for doing it and coming so far.  We are going to be taking a break from running due to the cold weather and having a baby that we don't want out in it.  I need to find something else to do that doesn't cost anything... we'll see.  No pictures though :(

7)  I have my sewing stuff out right now and have been attempting a few new things.  I started out wanting to make a pillowcase dress, but couldn't stop there!  I decided to try pants too...with ruffles.  Below is one of the outfits I'm working on.  I have to go back and do a little work on it as it was rather tight in the waist.  It's been a learning process for sure, but I think I will be making more dresses and pants in the future!

She will be wearing a turtleneck under this once I get one!  Her daddy let me know it was "too revealing"!
