New Glasses!

After a little over 3 years with the same pair of glasses, it was time for an upgrade. She had a scratch on one of the lenses, and they were looking a little small on her face. She had a lot of options to choose from, but actually chose the brown pair because she would "look just like KK and Tia!" I thought that was so sweet! She looks like such a big girl now! 

7 months old!

Henley, you are 7 months old. But let's be honest, you aren't really doing a whole lot more than when you were 6 months. You're a little lazy and just not interested in progressing developmentally! Thankfully your doctor isn't one bit worried... otherwise, I'd be a nervous wreck!

-At an ear infection appointment a couple weeks ago, you weighed 16 lbs 2 oz.
-You're still wearing size 2 diapers, but we're able to move on up... sort of tired of the blowouts that require a new wardrobe, multiple times a day!
-You are in 6-9 and 6-12m clothes. But most of your clothes are from Smocked Auctions (thank you discount!), and you're currently wearing 9m in those outfits.
-You still don't roll from your tummy to back. You are enjoying tummy time a little more... like maybe you scream and lose your mind after 5 minutes instead of 5 seconds.
-You are sitting up mostly on your own. I still can't leave you because you do eventually topple over
-If you aren't teething, we are in for a world of hurt once you are. Please say you are and that a tooth is coming soon!
-You sleep well, and only occasionally wake up in the night. You probably do it because you know I'll feed you. (Don't judge...it puts her right back to sleep!)
-You are enjoying the pool but are probably ready for it to warm up a little
-You love everyone in your world! You are very quick to give out smiles but VERY conservative with your laughter. You've only laughed a handful of times.
-You still love your bath and cover most of the kitchen with water from your intense splashes
-Nicknames include but are not limited to (thanks to an imaginative big sister): Hen, Henny Penny, the Henster, little lovebug

We love you so much, sweet girl!

Harper's End-of-the-year program

Harper had her end-of-the-year program a few weeks ago, and it's should come as no surprise, but she performed extremely well! We were so proud of her! She knew every single dance move, and some were hysterical! Our favorites were when they did the "walk like an Egyptian" and the disco dance moves. Mrs. Tracie did such a great job with 4 and 5 year olds! She's clearly the most patient person on the planet to be a preschool music teacher! We are so thankful for Jubilee Junction and can't wait for Harper's last year there! (HOW IN THE WORLD IS THAT POSSIBLE????) 

 Rocking the disco move

 Preparing for her xylephone trio with Wyatt and Raylee

 So serious about the bear hunt song

 They did such a great job!!!

Mrs. Barb and Mrs. Christy were such fabulous teachers!!! 

Dancing Queen

Harper had her dance recital a few weeks ago. She did such a great job and loved every second of it! She had 2 dances- tap and ballet. She has decided to not do dance in the Fall, which I'm great with...but I will miss this sweet recital. They dance to worship songs, and it is just too much watching them in their precious outfits, dancing for Jesus. Both sets of our parents came in for the big event! It was such a fun weekend!

Half a year old!

Henley, you are 6 months old (almost 7...oops!)! You are just the sweetest baby on the planet. Here are some things you're up to:

Weight: 15lb 2oz (40th percentile)
Height: 24in (3rd percentile)
Head: 42.5cm (50th percentile)

I sort of feel like that height measurement is wrong. If you saw how she did it, you'd agree!

-Henley is eating every 4 hours during the day. Pretty much still hating solids. Yesterday, she did swallow several spoonfuls of sweet potatoes. I guess fifth time is the charm!
-She sleeps from about 8pm-7am. Sometimes that varies and there's usually one night during a week that she decides she'd like to see me at 3am. But she's just so sweet the whole time, that I really don't mind!
-She can roll from back to tummy, but that's about it. She's getting closer to sitting up, but she still has a while before she's doing that on her own. She still hates being on her tummy, and there's just not a lot I can do about that one!
-She will laugh when you tickle her. She'll smile at anyone that will give her an ounce of attention. She's obsessed with Harper!
-I'm not sure if she's teething but she does love to chew on anything and everything she can get her hands on!

I'm sure I missed some things but she'll be 7 months next week, so I can add it then!

Not a fan...

Even though we don't plan on going full force with food until 6 months, I decided to try rice cereal with Henley last week. It's safe to say, she is NOT a fan of it! She actually started crying towards the end of the feeding...which shows how much she actually hated it! She shoves it all towards the front of her mouth with her tongue and then pushes it out. She did the same thing with her tamiflu, which tasted terrible according to her doctor. We'll keep trying randomly with the cereal until her 6 month check-up, and hopefully by then, she'll enjoy it a little more.
