Blessings on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great! I have so much to be thankful for this year. First off I have a home to keep me warm and food to keep me plump:). I could not complain about my family (including n-laws), I'm pretty blessed there. I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband of 3.5 years. My latest blessing has been my sweet Londyn.
Last year I was 20 weeks pregnant with that little peanut:


This year we were celebrating 7.5 months of sweet bliss of being parents. I am one blessed momma!
Being silly:


Thanksgiving day Londyn enjoyed some of her mamaw Deckard dumplings and mashed potatoes, along with baby peaches. That night at Aunt Julie's she had pumpkin pie with daddy. Needless to say she loved them:



Friday before we left we were able to get a family picture:




It was a wonderful thanksgiving full of reminders of how blessed I am. I am a blessed daughter, sister, sister-n-law, wife, daughter-n-law, and momma.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Growing, Changing, and Learning at 7 months

I haven't written in a while. Life has somewhat been crazy, just come to my house you will see. Londyn has been growing, changing, and learning so much in the past month. Today she is 7 months old! I can't believe it. It is seriously almost time to start planning the party:). Keith and I have been talking lately about how much she has changed and how much she is doing now. In the past month we have added baby food to her diet (peas, green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots).When you put her on her belly she makes circles to get around to you (hasn't figured the crawling out yet). She loves to sit up and play with many toys. She likes to play "cause and Effect" by dropping and seeing if we pick up. She also likes to be passed around. She loves to squeal. Something that she has done for a while now is hum herself to sleep in the car.
I am looking for one of two things this month her to either start crawling or start pulling herself up. She is more interested in learning how to walk then she is crawling. Never has been one to lay on her belly.
In the past week I believe that she has been working on teeth. It's interesting how you go to a check up and your child is fine and then a few days later they come down with something. That is my sweet Londyn. I have nailed it down to an ear infection or teething. If she doesn't cut teeth this week I will probably get her in to the doctors next week.
She hasn't really been in her bed for almost a week now. Every time we put her to bed she will sleep and hour and then she is up and won't go back to sleep in there. Needless to say, we have had many nights of cuddling together.
I can't leave her sight for a second. She thinks she has to go to the bathroom, cook, and clean with me. Doesn't she know her day will come soon enough? Crazy girl.
Yes this past week has been a little stressful at bedtime but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Happy 7 months my sweet Londyn!
