Addie got up on her hands & knees today! I'm somewhat shocked! She was just playing in the floor, I look over and she is on her hands & knees! She went back to her belly then back up....this went on 2-3 more times. The whole time I'm going "Omg, Omg, Omg"
Crawling is just around the corner! I know it is! Braxton started crawling at 7 months. I'm sooooo not ready for the crawling stage. I've got so much baby proofing to do...right now the house is SO not child friendly. (Braxton KNOWS not to get into or touch certain things that are "mommys" or things that will hurt him.) Right now the dining room table is taken over by a huge pile of fabric, my sewing machine, cups full of needles/straight pins/scissors/etc. I've got a table in the living room that has a bin full of yarn, scissors, tapestry needlesm etc underneath it...Braxton has legos all over the floor of his bedroom. Sigh. I can fix the craft problems and start putting dangerous things out of reach but I'm really going to have to work with Braxton to make sure he keeps small toys away from Addie.
So my goal for this week: BABYPROOF!
For your viewing pleasure I've added a photo from Addies "6 month shoot" straight out of camera-no editing. ;)
Now off to Shawnee to see 'mamaw' for the day!
We started BLW tonight. Addie is just a week shy of 6 months and has shown an interest in our food and meets all the milestones, so why not? ;)
We had porkchops, potatoes, cauliflower & broccoli. She LOVED the broccoli. At first she pushed all the meats & potatoes away & focused on the steamed veggies. After 15 mins or so she tried some potato and put it down, then moved on to meat. She had a hard time figuring out how to get the meat in her mouth, she would bring it up to her mouth & then lean backwards. She finally figured out she shouldn't lean backwards & got in her mouth & continued to suck on the meat for a while. At one point while eating broccoli she bit of a piece, tried to swallow and gagged (totally normal!) so she gagged it up, sucked on it a bit more and then spit it out!
We had so much fun watching her & she was so excited to be eating with us. So much better than doing purees in my opinion (we did purees with DS & it was just blech...he hated it & we hated it. No fun)
She didn't actually swallow anything which is normal, babies normally start actually eating around 8 months, right now its all about learning to eat, exploration & fun! :)
Enjoy the pics!
Nope, not talking about the fact that it's DH & I's anniversary again. No, it's something better! (Sorry honey!)
I've recently started using Big Sexy Hair products. This is the stuff my hair dresser uses on me everytime I go in for a cut/color/shampoo & style...speaking of-I need to get my hair done soon!
Anyways, these 2 products below are FAB! Big Sexy Spray & Play volumizing hairspray and Big Sexy Root Pump. Ahhhh!
I have thin, flat hair...always have and I always hated it. No amount of teasing/tousling/hairspray would get my hair nice & fluffy. This stuff changes ALL that! It's like magic. Seriously. I spray a little root lifter on my roots, blowdry, style, top it off with hairspray and voila' Big Sexy Hair. ;) (Or as my hairdresser says- "I'm gonna give you Big Sexy Texas Hair!" Haha-she likes to style it a little bigger than I like though.) ;)
Braxton is too funny.
We were all 4 laying in bed last night (Me, DH, Brax & Addie), ready to go to sleep. I had just finished feeding Addie and Braxton said he wanted to "snuggle" with me. So I passed Addie to DH & Braxton layed next to me and put his head on my arm. Then he said:
"Me not eat your boobs, mommy!"
LOL. DH & I had been pretty cranky all night and were in horrible moods but we couldn't help but laugh at this. He's so silly & says the funniest things! :D
even glimpse at the HUUUUUGE sale www.thechildrensplace.com is having. No-I said don't. You'll be tempted. Very tempted.
I got on "just to look" to "see if they added anything new" and was blown away by their clearance prices...so much in fact that I managed to spend nearly $100 more. I think they should thank me. Yes. I just placed my SIXTH order in like 2 weeks. I think I'm responsible for at least half their profits. Yes, they should thank me.
Oh, and if you happen to be tempted and go over there to "take a peek" use the code FAMILYA9 for 15% off your order. I saved $15 this time. ;)
