Monster Baby starring Leia

 Look at Monster Baby...Up on all fours, doing her "Crawl". It's crazy and amazing all at the same time.

Do you see the princesses all lined up in front of Leia? the kids were playing Attack of Monster Baby. :)

 The kids think it's hilarious that "Monster Baby" sat on the princesses.  But Leia didn't care what she was doing, she was in her own little world.

As happy as can be...for these few minutes.

Teething has hit it's peak with us. She is working on her top teeth or more. So, we haven't seen the smiley Leia for awhile :(  So happy for a happy baby :)

a few hours after this scene, Leia took off crawling/one-leg-dragging across the floor for my flip flop and of course, a power cord. She's mobile now.

6 month appt for Leia

Here's Leia 6 month check up stats--> 16 lbs 15.6 oz (so, 17 lbs with clothes, lol) and 26.5 inches tall. She is in the 70th for weight, and 75th for height.
Dr said she is doing good. I can feed her more baby food. And that her only having 4 oz of bottle at each feeding is okay..and wanting to eat every 2 hours is normal (UGH!)
But she says the up every few hours at night is not common. It could be from her teeth or maybe a cold. But her ears, nose, throat, chest, all sound and look fine. If the runny nose doesn't go away, it could be allergies (shoot me NOW!). And another reason why she might be not sleeping as well...she could have hit the separation anxiety phase and just really want her mommy.
Dr says she is progressing great...super active for her age. Great sitting up and attempting to crawl. She thinks she'll be pulling up by her next appt (9 month checkup in July).
Oh! and she did a recheck of Lily for me since we finally finished all the antibiotics...Lily has a bit of fluid in one of her ears, but everything else is good.

And here's a picture of all 3 kids. This was us camping out in the hallway during our Tornado Warning on Tuesday night. This was hours after the tornadoes hit the Dallas area. So glad nothing touched down near us...but thankful for all the rain.

Easter pictures debut

It's that time again...Spring time and let me tell you, it's hitting us hard. Wonderful spring time allergies *achoo*
I'm thinking as long as we get regular rains to wash the pollen away, it might be okay...but I continuously have the itchy throat, drainage, runny nose, oh! you get the picture.
We took this past Saturday to take our Easter pictures. And here's a few for your enjoyment.

The big kids

Leia, Dakota, and Lily....forgive the pacifier, Leia's a bit cranky. She's teething again or has a cold or it's allergies...who knows...but I do know that she is super cranky for now.

Look at super baby! I put her in the basket to hopefully get a cute shot and she decided NOW was the time to try to stand up on her own. She nearly flipped the basket over. We ended up moving the basket to the ground. Leia is growing so fast! 6 months old tomorrow. :)
