We have not fallen off the face of the earth. I don't have a good excuse for why we have been so quiet. We have been hanging out and somehow the days just escape us before we can get around to blogging. I am not sure our daily activities are that exciting to report on a regular basis and the camera has been in the shop (we will not talk about this b/c the camera shop people make me so mad).
So....
Miss M is sleeping in her crib for every nap and bedtime. It was a pretty easy transition. She doesn't sleep through the night but I don't care most of the time. She had a couple nights last week where she slept from the time we put her down until 6 a.m. when I fed her and she went back to sleep until almost 8 a.m. Then she reverted back to waking up a couple times a night. She'll figure it out. We have tried letting her cry but it isn't fun for anyone so for now I just get up and take care of her. Sometimes I like the quiet time we get to spend together. She will lay her head on my shoulder after she goes back to sleep and she doesn't lay her head down when she's awake. When she finds her head nodding off on my shoulder (or any one's shoulder for that matter) she quickly whips it back up for whatever reason. One day maybe she'll like to snuggle with all the people who love her.
This is my new favorite picture of Miss M. I absolutely love the nose scrunch. It just makes me smile.
Miss M may have gotten her hands (and mouth) on an ice cream cone recently...and loved it. She probably shouldn't have licks (bites) of ice cream at six months but it's bound to happen eventually right?!?
We had some guests this weekend. Grammy came to visit (and to be a babysitter while we went to a wedding - perfect for all parties). Uncle Chuckles and Aunt Turbo also came to visit this weekend to see Grammy and Miss M. Miss M loves guests. She was playful and happy for all her guests. She was really nice to Grammy while we were at the wedding and went down for a nap and bedtime without too much fussing. I think Grammy was relieved and worn out by the end of the day!
We do have some pictures of Grammy and Miss M, but unfortunately they are on another camera and I have yet to figure out how to get them from the camera to my computer.
We did a little bit of shopping on Thursday after Grammy got into town. We needed a new stocking hat for Miss M with the upcoming winters looming in the near future. Last week it was only about 50 degrees. How cute is Miss M in her new hat?
Speaking of stockings...the holiday season is quickly approaching and Miss M needs a stocking for Christmas. I have diligently made a stocking for each of my six nieces and nephews and one for a pseudo nephew. Seven stockings in twelve years. I am not making a stocking for Miss M. I have mixed emotions about it. It's kind of sad but I don't think I have the time (yes, I recognize I stay home all day with her but I don't think little sequence and beads all over the living room when she becomes mobile is a good idea - and I think she will be mobile sooner than later!). Also, I did do some internet researches on stockings this year and I don't like any of the patterns very much. And really the thought of making one more striped and stuffed candy cane makes me want to lose my mind. Maybe one day she'll get a homemade stocking from her momma but for now Pottery Barn was kind enough to send us one in the mail. It makes me happy that there's a new stocking to add to the mantel this year.
These two pictures are pictures I just think are cute.
We put Miss M in her little seat to get ready and she enjoys laughing at herself and playing with toys which makes getting ready much easier now.
Isn't she cute? Of course she's cute!
