Almost 8 Months Old!



Contessa turns 8 months old on the 4th.  She is getting better about sitting on her own, but is still very prone to tipping over.  She has started sitting in highchairs at restaurants and thinks she's a really big girl when she's in one.  Her first tooth broke through last week and she had her first taste of food.  I mashed up some avocado, but she didn't really like it.  That's ok though, because Gunnar polished it off.  She has begun to make bubbles with her spit.  She bounces like a crazy woman in her door bouncer and she thinks all her siblings are a hoot.  Contessa is a true mama's girl.  She fills my arms for a good chunk of the day and she wakes me up a million times a night to nurse.  I can't believe she is growing up so fast!

Contessa at 6 Months











Contessa turned 6 months old last week. She is our lovely chubby bunny.  Here she is wearing one of my favorite outfits from when Layla was a baby.  The knees of the pants are stained because Layla wore this outfit when she crawled at 9 to 12 months old.  Contessa is a bit bigger than Layla at this age.  She is very smiley and giggly.  She started playing peek-a-boo the other day with her burp cloth.  She has even started to cry "ma-ma-ma-ma-ma" when she is upset.  She loves bouncing in her bouncy swing, being held by mama, playing with her toys and being entertained by her siblings.  Happy 6 months Contessa!

Are You Awake?

One of our biggest challenges these days is keeping this little guy awake until bedtime around 7:30 pm.  If he even gets 15 minutes of sleep during the day he is awake until 10 pm or later.  As you can see we didn't succeed the day this picture was taken!
