A Certain Little Lady Turned 7 Months...

6months and 3 weeks old!
Yesterday! Pip turned 7months old! She has been crawling on all fours for about a month now. The week of her 6month birthday she started pulling up on furniture...towards the end of the month she became a pro at cruising. She also learned to go from crawling position to a sitting position. She says "hi" and waves hi and bye and can sign "milk" when she is hungry. When she is tired or some one else (besides Mommy) is holding her she yells "MMMMMMA!!! MMMMMAA!" and reaches for Mama.
LOVES the bathtub...The minute the shower turns on she makes a beeline for the bathroom and starts yelling to get in the tub!

Still the same ol chilled out baby <3
WORN OUT after an afternoon meeting she went to with Mommy ON her 7 month Birthday!
She is the most curious baby I have ever met! I have a feeling her toddler years are going to be a lot of fun!
SHE LOVES her sisters!!
Roo at 7months

Friendly around 7 months


Grinny GIRL!! Happy Birthday BABY!

They are Growing Up too fast! July Update and Stats

Friendly is outgrowing a swim suit. It's a swim suit that Roo wore a lot. Maybe her 3rd Birthday has me in a pensive mood. But it struck me this morning, that I really never believed that she could out grow that stuff. Ryan and I were commenting last night on how slowly her first 3 years have gone by compared to Riley's. I mean in the end, it's been fast...But it has felt slower in some ways. She is such a spirited person that some weeks have felt very long.:0. But really, they are growing up soo fast!

Pip on her 5mos Birthday (a trip to the zoo)- yes she waves...And at 6mos she has started to say "AIyiiii" (hiiii) and wave.

Pip's First Swim- SHE LOVES the water!!!!

The Three GIrls enjoying the water!)
One of those weeks where Grocery shopping in dress up clothes was the only way it was going to happen!

And topped it off with GF cookies and juice in the "upstairs" "resteraunt"

At a local Family Event/Block Party

FInished my 5k 11,13, and 13:30- beat my PR

The oldre girls ran in the Kids Fun Dash
Pip Started Army crawling arund 3.5-4 mos and getting up on hands and knees and rocking at 5mos...Taking little shuffling steps at 5.5 mos and Crawling fully at 6mos! Busy baby!

So proud of her new skills!

August 4th, mastered pulling up on stuff...The "getting down" part is a bit sticky still!
5.5 mos after a swim at the pool- this girl is happiest in water, she would live in it!

At the pool yesterday (8/7)

Pulling up on the trampoline to play with big sissy!
Some one gifted us an amazing carrier: an ERGO and it has been an incredible blessing!! Ryan can now wear Pip, and most importantly she LOVES It!

The monkey!

Ryan's idea of a joke, "flattering angle" ha.

She loves to sit in the swing but just sway VERY gently...She is the first baby who doesn't love fast and crazy movements...She likes stillness, VERY MUCH!
LOVES swinging!
All 3 girls!
Update on the girls.

Roo 4.5years: 45inches and 38lbs

Friendly 36months: 39inches and 27.5 lbs
Can skip with one foot (gallop), talks a blue streak (unless you are listening too hard and she gets self conscious), is learning to draw shapes.

Pip 6 months: 27inches and 18.5lbs
crawling, pulling up and cruising.

I might be back to update...Busy day!

SHE IS THREE!


Oh blogging... It is official 3 kids is what has upset the apple cart for me: there are not enough hours in the day. I have missed the entire month of July! It was a hot month... Not too much of note. We have a helper coming 2 days a week for the "summer" - it has been so nice to have an extra set of hands, and the ability to take the kids out to do fun stuff. But it also makes the weeks fly by! We took a few trips to the zoo...to the local creek...some fun afternoons at the pool.

I will catch up pictures very soon!

But today is a special day! It is the day, three years ago, that our Friendly girl joined our family.

It has been an amazing 3 years, and the last year the most precious so far! To watch her change and grow into the strong, creative, zaney, amazing person she is becoming: what a gift! This year has brought some huge changes for her- most of all: becoming a big sister! What a precious year!


A little walk down memory lane... Sorry some of the pics are out of order. Trying to hurry while the big kids nap, and Pip crawls around needing me. 
Birthday!
