Smunchie is Eleven Months

Smunchie is eleven months old.  Wow. That means that in one month, she will a whole year old!  How did that happen?

She is growing and learning every day. She is able to pull herself up, clap her hands, and crawl like a feind.  She also loves to "sing" and has about 8-10 words and phrases.  She is a wonderful  addition to our family.

Lil G decided to help with pictures.  He's so sweet. 

Smunchie is Ten Months old

I keep forgetting to post pictures of my little Smunchie!  She is ten months old now and getting ready to start pulling up on furniture.  She loves singing, playing with her big brother and eating whatever she can find on the ground :-)

Nine Months Old

 Yup.  It happened.  She kept growing.  Smunchie is now NINE months old! So crazy!  She is such a light in our lives, laughing and babbling all the time.  Her favorite thing in the world?  Her big brother, of course!

Smunchie is Eight Months Old

 On December 5, Smunchie turned eight months old!  How in the world did this happen?  Didn't I just give birth??

Anyway, she's as happy and bubbly as ever. She finally got a tooth and is able to do some crawling moves (though she isn't truly crawling yet).

Lil G is still absolutely in love with his little sister.  I cannot believe how much he loves her.  We are so blessed.

 Smunchie took some fun pics in front of the Christmas tree, in a chair that her daddy had when he was little.  She really enjoyed playing with her "Baby's First Christmas" ornament/rattle :-)

7 months old

It's hard to believe but last week, our little Smunchie turned SEVEN months old!  How can she be growing up so fast?

We went out to the local nature center to get some pictures of the whole family, since it was unseasonably warm out.

 and his "angry" face.

Six months old!

Smunchie is six months old!  She is doing great at eating solid foods, is close to crawling and can (almost) sit up all on her own.  She is such a sweet person and we are so blessed to have her in our lives.

Five Months Old

 It is so hard to believe that on September 5th, our little Smunchie turned five months old!  She is still a happy little girl (except in the middle of the night) and is growing every day.  She is close to getting her first tooth and seems to be heading toward sitting unassisted and even crawling!  She still nurses like a champ and can roll around the room like nobody's business.  She's growing like a weed and has already moved to her big girl carseat.

Five month stats:
Weight- 15lbs, 10 ounces
Length- 28.5 inches

Four Months Old

 Smunchie is four months old! How in the world can time fly by so quickly?  She is changing so much every day.  She rolls all over the place, holds up her head like a champ and is getting pretty close to sitting independently!  She is a happy girl, and is a shining light in our lives.  We're so blessed to get to raise such wonderful children. 

 Baby Feet :-)

Here she is in her daddy's saxaphone case, wearing the dress that mama made for her.

Stats:

Height- 26 inches (95th percentile)

Weight- 15 lbs, 10oz (80th percentile)

Smunchie is three months!

 I can hardly believe it!  Smunchie is three months old already!  She couldn't be an easier baby.  She has such a great personality, only fussing when she needs something (diaper, feeding, snuggles) and she puts up with a tremendous amount of shananagans from her big brother.  She is such a wonderful addition to our family.  It's so odd to have someone who feels brand-new, and yet also feels like she's been a member of our family forever.

 This is her "what are you doing?" face

Smiley girl!

 Here is her comparison shot, to her giraffe.  She's grown so much in six weeks (since her last picture).
