Our little lady danced the night away and lasted all night long.  Little brother was back in Texas with Mimi and Papa and feeling under the weather.  We enjoyed a weekend with our little lady.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. McPherson!  That was a night to remember!

Luke: 7 Months

You are our chunky monkey and we just love you to pieces.  You are 7 months old and doing something new everyday.

{hey good lookin'...}

At 7 months you ...

• are eating 8 oz at every feeding, 6 feedings a day, every 3 hours (still, like clockwork)
• are also eating food!  We started introducing rice cereal to you at 4 months and you have never wanted anything to do with it.  At 6 months we got the okay to start fruits and veggies and they are going much better than cereal.  You are now consistently eating a good meal at dinner time before your last bottle of the day...
• Like prunes, sweet potatoes, pears, apples, and bananas
• breast milk only, always from a bottle

{I love this picture because you were laughing at Sissy}

• You are a great sleeper at night.  In bed by 8:30 and up around 7.  Day time naps are a completely different story. Maybe 3 or so actual naps a week.  Yes! A WEEK.  Usually it is cat naps around a feeding throughout the day... it's painful, honestly.  BUT you are happy.
• LOVE to suck on frozen fruit in your frozen fruit mesh holder... great invention!

• STILL have that silly umbilical hernia.  Seriously, go away!
• are starting to try and figure out that crawling thing.  You will try to get up on those toes when you are on your tummy.  You want to move SO bad.  I think we are still at least a month or so away from crawling. You are not up on all 4s yet. (thank you!)

• would stay in a bath for hours.  You love it!  You are splashing and reaching for all of your toys.  It is often my favorite part of the day.

• are OUT of your infant carrier.  Yep, you reached the weight limit, big boy!  We now have you in the regular car seat still rear facing.
• are so, so talkative.  Your teachers always brag at how much you talk.  And you are LOUD.  Warning to any guests at our house, his loudest time of the day is first thing in the morning.  Get ready.

• look like such a little man with your haircut.  

• still have those blue eyes.  Yay!

{Fresh out of your bath... naked baby!!}

• go everywhere in your walker!  You have that thing figured out and amaze us daily with where you will take that thing.
• still LOVE your jumper.
• have 2 TEETH!  Your two bottom teeth came in at the exact same time about 2 weeks ago.  You did pretty good with it and you look pretty precious with them peaking out of your smile!

{Trying to get a picture of those teeth... look hard enough, you can see them!}

• are wearing a few 9 month clothes but mostly 12 months.  I can't even begin to buy ahead because I have no idea what size you will be.  I swear we go on a shopping spree and the next week you can't wear any of it anymore!  Daddy actually thought I put you in shorts today... it was 40 degrees.  I didn't put you in shorts... they were pants... too small pants.
• are in size 4 diapers. Size 4!  Your big sister was in a size 5 when she stopped wearing diapers at 2.5!

We are so, so thankful that you are strong and healthy.  You are our little chunky monkey and we love every one of those precious rolls to the moon and back little man.

7 months... I cannot believe it.  I am going to be planning your first birthday party before we know it  but for now, I am going to cherish these moments.  They are priceless.

Wedding Bells and our Flower Girl

Back in October (yes, I am that behind), my cousin got married in Tulsa.  Princess Alden as Addison called her asked Addison and two of my other cousins to be her flower girls.  To say this Momma was excited is an understatement.  I bought Addison a book about being a flower girls and we read it everyday, multiple times. As the wedding day approached, she could not wait!  She was going to be a "fowerr girl".  At 2.5, I was a little nervous - okay, a LOT nervous but she did very well for being 2.5.  Here are some pictures from our fun weekend in Tulsa!

First up... BRIDAL LUNCHEON.

It was a fun night!  That little girl danced her little heart out and slept great!

Next up.... THE BIG DAY!

Luke: 6 Months

Sorry buddy, this is just pictures.  I took pictures on your actual half-birthday and never blogged your post.  Forgive me!  You are now 7 months so we will move on.  Just know you were as happy and sweet as ever and we love you so!  A half year went by WAY.TOO.FAST.

 Always SMILING (most of the time).

Always TALKING...

Always CHUNKY!

Y'all... LOOK AT THOSE THIGHS!  They make me giggle.  Love him!

Even mid-yawn...always ADORABLE!
