7 Months Old

That's right, my baby girl is over half way to a year! Mary Lee is just the best little girl...goodness we love her so very much! It seems that Mary Lee has grown and changed so much from 6 months to 7 months. We have had some ups and downs during this month of her life. The biggest UP is that Daddy finished his surgery rotation!!!!!! This means that we actually get to see him now, and we are LOVING that! A major DOWN is that Mary Lee has had a very bad ear infection in both ears...YUCK! She is presently on an antibiotic, so hopefully her ears will be cleared up soon. We will go get them checked again in about a week. Here are a few pictures and then below of course will be a list of things we want to remember about Mary Lee at 7 months old!

Beautiful Eyes
Hanging out in my PJs
Attacking my turtle
Strolling with Daddy
Beautiful
Eating at Konomi for Daddy's Birthday
I now want to hold my bottle by myself ALL of the time
Not feeling so great with an ear infection but
hanging out with Squirt from Nemo...Look at those pitiful eyes!

Things we want to remember about Mary Lee at 7 months old:
  • The way you immediately grab your bottle and put it in your mouth when you see it. You still have not quite figured out that you must tilt it once it gets low, but we are ok with that because it means you still need Mommy and Daddy to give you a bottle.
  • The way you talk all of the time saying "Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba" and "Da-da-da-da-da"
  • The way when we try to get you to crawl, you seem dis-interested and get very frustrated that you can't quite do it yet
  • How many different positions you are in when we get you out of your crib in the morning
  • The way you pant when we are feeding you and don't put it in your mouth fast enough (Your teachers at daycare even asked us if we had a dog you were imitating, and we said "Nope, the girl just LOVES to eat!")
  • The way you are becoming so fascinated and curious about the world
  • The way you immediately stand up when we hold your hands
  • They way you violently shake your toys and bang on your books when we are reading them to you
Mary Lee, you continue to amaze us! You truly are a beautiful, sweet, smart, talkative, funny, loving little girl, and Mommy and Daddy are blessed to call you our daughter! WE LOVE YOU!

Happy Easter!

Today we celebrated Easter! In all of the busyness of the day, I did take time to think, pray, and talk to Mary Lee about the true reason we celebrate Easter! Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for a sinner like me...The ultimate love story! The good news is that it did not end with His death! He indeed is ALIVE, and as I told Mary Lee this morning...He lives inside of you and me!
