Half Birthday

Already 6 Months!

(sorry so late posting this one...Selah is already going to be 7 months tomorrow, time flies).

These were some pictures taken the day you turned 6 months old.

In the morning, watching our colorful little Christmas tree. You almost roll over...but not quite.

Happy after your first feeding of baby food.

I love your old man hat :)

Oh Selah, you are growing so fast right in front of my eyes. I love spending my days with you. At 6 months you can do so many more things. You have gotten much stronger and can pretty much sit all by yourself. Today you ate some food for the first time and did a great job. You go crazy jumping on your jumperoo and johny jumpup. I would say you are obsessed with peek a boo. Anytime there is a blanket near you you must put it over your face. I want you to stay just like you are sweet baby girl.

She's got Skills

Happy Birthday Becky!

She is taking after her Grandma already :)

Playing a little piano.

Daddy's Girl

This is their new thing. Keith has been practicing with Selah her balancing skills. She loves it!

5 Months and Counting

Our Little Doll

All Hands and Feet

Note to Selah

Sweet baby girl, you are so fun to be around. I almost have to pinch myself to remind me this is real sometimes. That I get to be your Momma and get to experience life for the first time with you. You have become so aware of our world now, it is just the most percious thing to get to see. I find you staring at your hand often, just opening and closing it. I can just see your wheels turning as you figure out that your hands can now work with you. You also love to grab you feet. You are so flexible pulling your feet all the way to your mouth and then leaning over to the side. I though that was you "rolling over" but was told it has to be all the way to your tummy to be considered official. You love when I sing to you, and when you get to stand. You are a pro at your jumperoo. I love to see you really studing each toy and playing with it. You have such good eye contact and really study your surroundings...you are such a smart girl.

Before 5 months

Lots of Selah

Just a little bit of what our baby girl has been up to latley.

She has this frustrated or worried look like she has to make a deadline or something :)

Just a fun expression.

Bath time, a definite favorite.

Another favorite, playing with Daddy at night.

Being with Mommy on her 30th birthday.

Halloween

I thought she was a baby chick at first, but everyone else says she is a duck. She was the cutest little ducken around. She went trick or treating for the first time with her cousins in San Antonio.

Weekend Fun

So this weekend we had a visit from Keith's parents. However, his Mom got super sick and was in bed for most of it. I pray you get better soon Becky! Since you missed out on hanging with Selah, the main reason you came to visit, here are some pictures we took right before and after you got here.

Looking cute in the bumbo again. She is thinking, "wow my cheeks are pretty big and squishy".

She loves to put everything in her mouth.

I love this pose!

Always wanting to stand.

Selah and Mommy :)

Airplane... a favorite of hers and my main workout.

Our Little Baby is a Big Baby Now

So I know it has been over a year since I have been on my blog. But I am back and I'm going to try to be better at updating it because so much has happened. However, I am going to start with the present and I'm sure I will try and throw in some catch up blogs when I get the chance.

4 Months Now

Selah is growing fast and getting more and more skills! We love her so much and she such a joy to be around.

She got board of laying down on her back and just wants to stand and stand so here she is in her new jumperoo. She is figuring it out a little more everyday.

It cracks us up when we put her in the bumbo. She just looks so funny sitting in it with her little arms resting on the sides. I took this picture on Sunday morning, October 11, a year ago we found out we were pregnant!

My sister took this picture last week when Selah and I went up for a surprise visit for my nephew Noah's 8th birthday. It was so good to get to live life with my sister Kim and her kiddos for a couple of days.

New Stuff

Sweet Selah you are doing a lot of new stuff just in the last week or so. You have gotten your head control and I can carry you now on my hip like a big baby while your arm holds onto mine. You love to stand and you are really good at it. One of my favorite things to do with you each day is to play airplane. You love it and I love to make you smile! You are in the best mood when you wake up from your naps. You look up at me and stretch and smile. When we put you down to sleep or when you are getting tired you like to talk and talk. You will normally talk yourself to sleep. Your talking right now sounds like a sick dolphin, but we love it. You are quite the drooler, and you love to chew on anything, especially your middle and pointer fingers. You keep your Daddy and me smiling all day. We love you so much and are so proud of you!
