Sweet Peanut...

Our time with you continues to FLY. It's so hard to remember what life was like before you were here. You continue to bring us more joy than we ever imagined. Here's what you've been up to this month.

• You are still a very petite Peanut and only weigh 16 lbs. You are still in mostly 6 month clothes and you are wearing lots of Babylegs and a jacket with your summer dresses as most of the fall clothes we have for you are still too big.
• You are still eating like a champ but have become a little more picky about food. You still love all fruit except apples and will eat most veggies. You have made us VERY aware that you don't like spinach. :)
  
• You got really sick this month and it was not fun for any of us! You got to visit Dr. Corcoran several times and your sickness lingered for about a week. We hated seeing you not feel well but we took full advantage of your need to be snuggled.
  
• Lulu and Pops came for a visit. You were spoiled like crazy and got to enjoy lots of walks and countless hours of play time. Your wardrobe and toy selection were expanded as well.
• You still are not sure about crawling. You get up and rock consistently and will take about 3 "crawls" as we've started calling them but then you plop down on your belly and army crawl to where ever you want to go.
• You LOVE to talk. All the time. You sometimes seem annoyed when mommy or daddy "interrupt" you when you are "talking" to Moose or Gracie or just to the air. We can't wait until you have a vocabulary. We think that you will have LOTS to say!
  
• You are starting to notice older children and are fascinated by them. I love to watch you interact with other kids.
• You continue to have the sweetest disposition! You love people and smile at anyone and everyone that gives you any attention. You have started giggling a lot and love to be tickled under your chin.
• We are convinced that you will have teeth soon, although we've been saying that for months! EVERYTHING goes in your mouth. You chew on whatever you can get your hands on so we think any day now we will see a tooth.

Blythe,
Each day brings us more joy than the last! You continue to be a greater blessing than we could have ever imagined. You bring joy to the world around you and you continually brighten peoples day with your sweet smile. It's a blast to watch you grow and we love continuing to watch you explore your world! You are absolutely our Precious Peanut!
We love you like crazy!

Blythe's 6th month birthday was extra special as she will always celebrate her half birthday on my mom's birthday. It's hard to believe that in just 6 more months Peanut will be 1 year old. I can't even wrap my mind around that! Here's what we've been up to this month:

• My dearest college friend, Celeste came to visit. The fact that Blythe got to spend time with my dear friend is so special to me. Great memories!
  
• Blythe also got to meet Auntie J. We loved spending time with J in Dallas. It was a week of being spoiled and loved on. Blythe loved meeting J and I think she really enjoyed her first trip to Texas!
  
• Getting to Texas was an event! Blythe took her first flight. She did outstanding. I think I was much more stressed than she was. The other passengers were very gracious and we all survived.
  
• The flight was interesting because Blythe began teething this month. All I can say is WOW!!! Our sweet, calm baby has been really fussy. It's the worst feeling in the world to not be able to comfort her when she's in pain. Thankfully for now she is back to her usual happy self.
  
• We all got to experience our first flood at our house! Blythe slept through a lot of it but it was an adventure for sure! Hopefully it will soon get it's own post.
  
• We went to the doctor on her half birthday and Blythe weighs 15 lbs 2 oz and she is 25 inches long. We also got the go ahead to start rice cereal.
  
• Roger and Terri also came for a visit. Blythe enjoyed the extra love and attention! We enjoyed some great food and just quality hang out time together. Blythe got to go shopping for new fall clothes which she always enjoys. She is one blessed baby!

Peanut,
