6 Months!!!

Anyone know how to stop time??? I can not believe our little girl is 6 months already and I know everything that is going to happen next is going to be fun and exciting but can't we just live in this moment for awhile longer?

We have had such an amazing journey with this little angel. We could not have imagined life to be this amazing and for her to bring so much joy to our life on a daily basis.

I am so excited for the holiday's this year, we have breakfast with Santa, a Christmas light train ride and lots of time with friends and family.

Lainey also has a 6 month birthday party this weekend. I will be sure to take lots of photo's to share.

This is LAiney on her 6 month birthday! Do you remember when we brought her home and she was 1/3 this size and barely fit in the carseat? Look back at this post.

Originally this was Lainey Christmas outfit, well there is ruffle bums to go with it. Now she has a pretty dress to wear so I brought these Christmas babylegs out the other day when we had out first snow fall.

I might be bias but I just LOVE her eyes!

This picture really shows how tall she is.

Lately when I feed her and hold her like this she loves to touch and discover my face. It is such a great feeling to have her look up at me with so much love in her eyes.

Christmas came a little bit early. We got her a jumperoo, well actually grandma and grandpa got it for her. We picked it up on saturday and washed it and got it all ready. Well when she woke up sunday morning she was so excited.

Bahaha this picture kills me. So we introduced avocado's the other day. At first she loved them, honestly the first half of the bowl. Then it was like she realized what she was eating. So funny.

I don't know if you feel what I feel when I look at this picture but I will tell you it is a lot of love.

I thought this one was funny, it is like she is about to run.

Happy 6 months Lainey, we love you and are so thankful to have you in our life everyday!

Almost 6 months

Here are a few cute pictures of Lainey from this weekend! Oh and she had her first baby mama.....and loved it!

Christmas is on its way!

It has been a very exciting week. Lainey started on cereal on the weekend and has loved it. She helps me feed her and when I give her the spoon she opens her mouth and puts it in. I think she has been ready for awhile but we were waiting until she was 6 months and that only a week away we thought why not try it now, I'm glad we did. This weekend we are going to do avocados!!

She also loves eating the cloth after clean up.

Snuggles!

Funny faces!

Starting to stand when she holds on to objects! I am now convinced she is just not going to roll. She can sit on her own for a long period of time and likes to stand but lay her down and she will wine your ear off.

So much to make before Christmas. My sister asked me to put together a baby shower gift for her. Her friend is having a little boy!!! I love making baby presents, and I hope my sister and the receiver of the gift loves it too:)

One Christmas present off my check list. This adorable reversible apron is for my little niece who is 2. I hope she loves it!

My next Christmas project! Love this material. Can't give anymore detail because it is a present.

Progress on Lainey sleeping. Well it is night two of trying to be tuff. Last night we tried but she just won't sleep in her crib. But I did get her to feed 2 times at night instead of 5, so I'm happy:) She just loves sleeping in our bed, sometimes I imagine Trevor and myself and our 4 kids all sleeping cozy in one bed, I am sure this is not what Trevor pictures. lol. We will continue to work on it and hopefully before she is 1 she will sleep on her own, if not oh well we tried. They are only little for such a short time. But we will have to buy a larger bed.

Friday Nights!

Once upon a time I thought Friday nights were for go out with friends to a club or bar, sometimes I miss those days, but friday nights like these are defiantly my favourite now:)

Just hanging out! My new favourite family photo.

Wall Art

I finally changed Lainey's wall art by her crib to material I really like. The material before was nice but for some reason I didn't like it. While staying at Melissa's Lainey loved the art she had up for Morgan, she loved it so much she moved in the crib for the FIRST time to get a better view! Anyways I really too liked Melissa and kind of copied her whole idea. Thanks Melis:)

I carry your heart in my heart

Those of you that know me know I accept gifts any time of year. Well my birthday gift from Trevor is a little late this year but exactly what I wanted. And yes I sent an email to him telling him what I wanted, lol. But it is something very special and I will have it forever and maybe one day it will grow.

I love this necklace!

Ottawa

Our visit to Ottawa so was great and of course went by way to fast. we had so much to celebrate, Lainey's 5 month birthday, Colin's 2nd birthday, Halloween, and the arrival of baby Morgan! Here are a ton of pictures taken while we were on our vacation! Oh and Lainey flew for the first time and she was a super little traveller!

I have never been mistaken for Melissa so much in my life and her being 9 months pregnant did not hurt my confidence at all ;)

Good byes are always hard. Colin giving Lainey a hug:)

Colin touching Lainey's nose, he just loves her face.

Lainey meeting some very special people!
