7 Months

We have arrived at 7 months old! Little miss is becoming such a big girl, we are of course so incredibly proud of her.

I'm not sure where to begin it has been so long since I have written anything. Life is a little hectic, so sitting down to type a blog is harder then I imagined. We are all doing great here though. Little miss (more commonly known as Andi Pants and Midget) is growing like a weed. She is quite possibly the tallest baby around at her age. She has been wearing 12 month clothes (she's been in them since she was 6 months) and towers over other little ones her age. Maybe we have a little basketball star on our hands :D, she is definetly tall and skinny like her daddy. She got her first tooth in a few weeks ago and has conquered sitting up and clapping. She is VERY proud of the fact that she can clap. I love the look of pride on her face when she does it and the adorable smile that comes with it. She is quite a little character. Full of funny noises, and facial expressions and a tongue that will never stay in her mouth. Her newest thing is to yell but it's a whispered yell, so she's yelling but hardly any noise is coming out. Todd thinks it is her way of talking, we will never know. She is definetly going through the "I can't be more then 2 feet away from mommy" stage. A little taxing on me, but it is neat to see her recognizing so many new people and objects around her. She discovered the light on the ceiling above the kitchen table. So now when we eat we spend most of our time looking at the light rather than eating, but at least we're learning. :)

This week hasn't been the greatest week for her, she's definetly ready for it to be over. She got sick on Friday and we are still battling to overcome it. Poor little lady, she is so miserable but tries to be in good spirits. Todd is doing great, he is busy building another spec home. I believe last time I typed he was working on the home at Applewood. They have since finished and sold it, built a garage for the neighbors to the Applewood house and are now working on a new one a few blocks away. He's a busy, busy fella. I'm still at home with Andi Pants, but I've started looking for a job. I've been (kind of) doing real estate still, but it's time for me to get out of the house. I tried being a stay at home mommy so I could enjoy my little angel, but it's just not in my genetic make up. So we'll see what we can find, it nothing great comes along I'll just keep hanging out and growing with the little one, no rush.

We're looking forward to more warm weather, she is definetly going to be an outdoor, barefoot little girl. We've been putting her toys on the back deck and playing in the back yard with the dogs, but it's still a little chilly to be outside to long. The dogs have come to accept little miss. Hemi and her have become pretty good pals, she often lays and kicks the tar out of the poor little guy, pulls his ears and lips etc, but he doesn't care. Her face comes to life when she sees him, it is very adorable. Who would have guessed the world's worst dog would be the baby's favorite thing. Hopefully it's not a sign of what she'll be like, if he is her partner in crime we are in a boat load of trouble. His most recent fiasco he nearly didn't live through. I had put the hamburger on the counter to thaw and ran to the store, he has never bothered anything I had thawing on the counter. So I came home from the store, opened the door and there he was enjoying 2lbs of raw hamburger on our white/cream carpet...not a good day for Hemi. Oakly could really careless about her, he tolerates her to put it best. He doesn't care to have her touching or being near him, I think he's still bitter she took his mommy away. He'll get over it...

That is all I have for today, we hope everyone is doing great and we will keep you posted!

Take care!!
