6 Months!

Annabelle turned 6 months on the 7th!  6 months already?  She is such a sweet cuddly girl who always has huge smiles for everyone.  She  can roll around the living room and is getting better and better at sitting up.  She will get it in no time!  She loves her jumper and her walker and to play with her toys.

She loves to giggle and laugh at Violet and still thinks Violet is the best thing to ever happen to this world.  I can't explain how awesome it is to see how much love these two have for each other.  It's like they already have a sisterly bond and connection that only they understand.

Annabelle is a huge chunk.  She hasn't had her 6 month appt yet so I'm not sure what she weighs but I would guess its up there.  She loves rice cereal, assorted baby foods and especially the rice rusks Mum Mums.  She loves to drink water out of a cup, like an adult cup (with help) and can use a straw too.

She is still a horrendous sleeper.  Boo.  Not loving that.  She sleeps in our bed the whole night and still wakes up alot.  She also will still only nap in her little bouncy chair with me rocking it with her foot.  I am really over it.  I have tried to get her to nap in her packnplay in our room by letting her cry it out and its not working.  I've probably done it 7 times or so and she will literally cry for 2 hours straight and still not fall asleep.  Oye.  This kid is not figuring it out.  I could get so much done if I could get her to nap.  Guess I'll keep at it.  We are about to let her cry it out at night as well.  Its time to learn to sleep my little boo boo.

Holding Vi Hostage

The other day Vi climbed into the bouncer and got stuck.  We held her hostage in there and made her sing and do some of the cute things she does before we would help her out.  A tad mean maybe but getting this girl to sit still is impossible.

PS- at the end we have her sing New Kids On The Block "The Right Stuff".  Yes, you heard me right... Justin taught it to her.  Too funny.

More Water Park Fun

We love going to the water park!  Vi finally played in the water the other day for the first time and of course loved it.  Its funny cuz I feel like I bring my whole living room when we go.  The stroller is overflowing.  I have to bring the sandtoys, sunscreen, towel, toys for Annabelle, the bumbo, snacks, drinks, the camera and more.  Ugg.  It takes so long to load and unload. 

Last Friday we went and Daddy showed up to surprise Vi (he gets off early on Fridays).  It's getting to be so hot I even ran through a couple times with A!

Ouch Mommy

A couple weeks ago I stepped wrong and sprained my foot.  It was terrible.  I heard a bunch of cracking and it hurt like crap.  It was swollen and purple so I went to Urgent Care and the Doc was pretty sure I broke it.  I about crapped my pants.  We did a Xray to be sure and found no breaks.  Hallelujah.  So now I'm still suffering from a purplish green foot that still hurts.  Dang thing is taking forever to heal.

Anywho, the point of this post was to show my lil' sweetpea copycatting me.  Since I had an ace bandage on she had to have one too.  And she had to say "Ouch" and make a sad face for about 20 minutes.  Too funny.

Love From Aunt Jess

looks like shes raising her hand "pick me!"

Vi helping out (no thats not fruit punch, its water with a little Mio)

New Camera Love

Wow, I am so in love with our new camera. It is A-MAZ-ING.  Here's some pics J took the other Sunday of Vi with it.

And how bout one of my honey and I before a wedding?

Baby Powder Party

I have a bottle of baby powder out back for after Vi goes in her sandbox (another Pinterest AMAZING find) and she got ahold of it.  She went a little crazy with it.  She pretty much poured it all over the place including herself..
