Swim

I texted my mom a picture of Eleanor's new swimming pool.
"She saved up all of her money and bought a new pool"
And she said: She must have done a lot of chores! :)

So, being the sucker I am,
I blew up the pool and got Ellie in her bathing suit.
Took it to the front yard and carried
FOUR baby bathtubs of warm water out so she could go swimming.

After she got out, we sat on a blanket in the yard and watched the cars go by.
I am so thankful that I had this week off with my sweet girl.











Crystal Bridges.

Day 1 of our official vacation.

We took our time getting around, had a little lunch & then made our way to the Crystal Bridges museum.

After walking around inside for a while, we got the most confusing directions ever from a security man with a ponytail, and found the art trail.

Strolling, picture taking & lots of laughs.
*Eric told Kap to hold her hands out by the butt of a bear statue to look like she was catching its poop. Real mature.*

7 Months.


 
 
 
-Size 2 Diapers
-Formula/ Some Solids
6-9 month clothing
Sleeps 7-8 hours at night
Milestones:
You are such a great eater! You especially love carrots and veggies right now. Not really digging the applesauce the last few times. You will sit in your high chair and grunt or make noise to let me know you are ready for another bite andwhatistakingsolong! We have tried some more textured stuff, and you will chew (& chew & chew) but get gagged trying to swallow. So, we are sticking with the more pureed foods.



You are getting so good at giving me "kisses". Not that you know what you are doing, but you will put both of your hands in my hair and lean your face up to mine with a huge open mouth. Sometimes when you get my cheek instead of my mouth, you will just put your tongue on my cheek and lick me.


Roly Poly. We lay you on a blanket and the next thing we know you are across the room. Quite the master roller.

Sitting- You are an excellent sitter. You can lean forward and grab things and pull yourself back up. Sometimes when you are laying, you look like you are trying to do crunches because you are trying to sit up on your own. Not quite there, little girl. ;) You also love to hold our hands and stand up. Bouncing up and down or dancing with dad.

Mother's Day.

I celebrated our very first Mother's Day this past weekend.
I have wanted to be a mom for my whole life.
 I'm so happy to be part of the club now. ;)


Eleanor was so thoughtful to make me a posterboard that said Happy Mother's Day.
There were 4 flaps and each one had a member of our family (Eric, Ellie, Sam, Chuy)
and under the flaps were gift cards.

Old Navy and Hobby Lobby.
They are speaking my love language.




We ended the day swapping kisses.


So thankful for this sweet baby and that I get the chance to be her mom.
