homegrowing

Homegrowing seems to be a scrapbook of late.  Lot’s of photos and silly happenings.  I have serious posts and lessons being learned, rambling about my brain, but need time to work them out and on onto the screen.  Therefore, in the mean time I must keep Grandma (still residing in Florida for her rehabilitation), and the rest of you supplied with smiles and silly homegrowing stuff!

January third, she turned seven months.  We’re closer to her first birthday than the date she was born.  Sigh.

This past month we celebrated her first Christmas.  Fun and special.

She is up on all fours to crawl, but she only works in reverse.

She can work and maneuver an entire room with her rolling, squirming, sitting up and back down again, and crawling backwards.

She can feed herself puffs off her highchair, but she spits out anything of texture.  She loves her baby food menu at lunch and dinner.   She like to scrunch up her face and breath in and out of her nose fast when she’s eating.  We don’t know why she does this, but we all applaud with laughter!  She hums along and kicks her feet in excitement when she likes the food as she’s eating, too sweet.

Still only two bottom teeth, but her excessive drooling must be making way for her top teeth.

She examines everything!  She wants to hold tiny little things and manipulate them all about her fingers.  She doesn’t miss a beat or a sound.  Little Miss Busy Body, wanting in on everything around here.   This does affect her nursing…

She always wants to be holding onto someone or something.  She grips your shirt, the changing table, a blanket, or her doll Kisses while she sleeps.   Lately, she likes to pinch me (it hurts!) and hold onto my hair….

Her hair is filling in and is dark like Hunter’s was.  The rest of the babies have been blond.  I debate whether or not to cut the front mowhak wisps, but it’s starting to look very cute in a little barrett!  More fun…

I will remember her sixth month of life filled with….  dresses, dresses, dresses!  That’s the blessing of hand-alongs… I pray for them and am so grateful for God’s provision.  She has about six holiday dresses in size 9mo-2T, and I just made them all work.  It was fun and pretty.

Smiles and laughter….  I’m a blessed woman.
