Creep, crawl, sit, bonk.

I sound like a broken record these days, in more ways than one! I always start out the blog posts with something along the lines of "Well, its been long enough since I wrote" and "she is changing so much!" Its so true though! I honestly thought it had been alot longer since I wrote last, because she has changed so much! Now she is all over the place. Just when I think she can't move any faster, she proves me wrong! She crawls sometimes and creeps others. She moves from crawling to sitting very smoothly now. It's crazy how fast she does it. She is teething now, but still no "teethies" in site. We use her play pen ALOT more now! Her exasaucer just doesn't do the trick like it used to. Neither does her swing. She likes them still, just not for the amount of time she used to. I could put her in either one while I ate a meal and she would be fine. Not so much anymore. She doesn't like to be stuck in one spot. The swing is useless unless I am going to be right there because she has found a way to turn right around in it, or lean so far forward she is almost hanging out.... haha.

Yesterday she found the door stop. WELL. You'd think she struck gold. She will pull it over and over and over again and be totally mesmerized by it! I LOVE IT. Cracks me up!

I was making up some baby food yesterday while she was drinking her bottle (or trying to!) I had a bunch of carrots in the magic bullet trying to blend them all up. When I opened the container up, the carrots on the top were all blended, but the carrots on the bottom were still whole. There was a bunch of air in btw the mushed carrots and the whole ones. I don't know what I was thinking, but I thought it would be a good idea to hit the container on the counter to get the mushy carrots to fall. Well, they flew instead....all over my face and housecoat LOL I turned around and looked at her and said "What did mommy do!!" And she started to laugh!

She is conking her head so much lately! She will be sitting up just fine, then all of the sudden she'll flip around or fall over, and conk. Or she'll be crawling along and crawl right into something! "Bonky Bonk" as we say, to her. Usually she doesn't cry, but every once in a while she will hit herself good and give a little cry.

Well, I guess I have to accept that I am going back to work. I really have been trying to figure out a way that I won't have to. I'm not really good with the idea of having her in daycare this young. But it looks like there is nothing I can do. I'd better call the daycare today. :'( NOT cool.

Recap of the last few weeks!

Well, little one is 7 months old now. On the day she turned 7 months, we were visiting family members that were camping. We put her in her bathing suit for the first time, and hubby dipped her feet in the water.... she didn't love that at all LOL I think it was because the water was so cold. I took her in again a few min later, and she still didn't love it... she cried a bit, but not too bad! That night the campground owners set off a ton of fireworks about 250meters away from the camper. Little one was sound asleep when the fireworks started, and she STAYED that way!!! I couldn't believe it! The noise startled me at first, but she didn't move at all! She was so tired, poor thing! And she slept through the whole fireworks show, which lasted probably about 30 min!

She had a rough night on friday/sat. She woke up around 4am and didn't go back to sleep until 8am! That is so very unlike her. And then all day sat she cried. I thought she was teething, but sunday she woke up and she was back to her old self.... Hubby and I went out for a few hours and left her with grammy. Grammy said that she had to work really hard on her BM, and was crying. So we think she may have a touch of the flu. She slept the night no problem last night and she is napping right now.... and has been for 2 and a half hours.....

Last night when we got to grammy's to pick her up, grammy was feeding her. She sneezed and spit formula all over grammy's face, glasses, and in her mouth!!!! OMG we laughed so hard!!! LO just kept looking at us like WTH is so funny??

She is crawling around like crazy now. She can make it from one side of the room to the other in no time, which means no more turning my back to do something while she is loose!!! HAHA. She is trying to pull herself up on things now. The other day I was unloading the dishwasher and she grabbed onto the door, and tried to pull herself up. She also can go from her belly to sitting up now. She did it a few times the other day, but I thought it was a fluke, until she did it today when I went to get her out of her crib! Go Little miss!!

This A.M at 5:30am, I heard this weird noise over the baby monitor... It sounded like she had her blocks and was hitting the crib with them! I knew she wouldn't have any of her blocks in her crib, so I went in to see what was going on. She was sound asleep, and the noise was her sucking really loud LOL

We finally got her Winnie the Pooh decals up in her room. We are way behind on that. We had them before she was born, and it took like 7 months to get them up! Terrible! But they are up and her room is looking pretty fun!

Things she loves right now: The Cat, mom's dog, exasaucer, Sophie, her wipes tub (??!), the tub (and soaking everything around her!), my purse, shoes, and frozen cloths, the little green frog song, etc haha.

Speaking of the bath, the other night she splashed so much of her bath out of the tub that I was soaked, and so was the floor. When hubby came by to get her bottle ready, he slipped on the soaked floor and almost fell!!!

I want to get her up from her nap right now, because she has been sleeping for over 2 and a half hours, but if she hasn't been feeling well, its probably best to let her sleep. Poor thing. She already had 2 BM this am, and she usually doesn't have any till lunch.... I'll wake her up for lunch. Till then, I get to play on the computer! Although I should be cleaning.... ugh.

SO I've been slacking on the blogging front these days!

Its been a very busy few weeks in our household. Most of the things I dare not talk about on here! But little one is doing great. She is crawling on her hands and knees now, as well as getting up on all fours and rocking LOL. She has eaten rice cereal, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans (FAIL!), peas (BIG success!), and apples. She had her first trip to the zoo on Aug 1st with her grandma and grandpa, daddy and I. I thought she would make more of a reaction at the animals because she loves animals so much, but I didn't think of all the fencing that would be in the way.... She had a good time anyways. Her favorites were anything that didn't have a fence LOL. She also had her first trip to McDonald's that day, although all she got to eat was rice cereal and formula LOL. Her first trip to the park was this past sunday aug 8th. We didn't stay long. Just long enough to put her in the swing and take a few pics and have her teethe on the swing. GROSS! haha. She is getting into a lot more, and she is being more vocal. Babbling a lot today, and coming up with different sounds everyday. No real words yet, although we thought we heard mum the other day. Wishful thinking I guess!

We took her on a little trip on sat. We were going to take her to the beach, but we couldn't find any that were free, and on the private side of things.... Little one was grouchy (She had been in her car seat for HOURS), so we stopped at a church (didn't realize it was a church till after) and decided to take our blanket out and lay on the grass with her. She loved it. And I thought it was the best part of the day!

I know there is probably more to write about, but its time for little one's lunch!
