Family Photos

My beautiful and talented sister-in-law Hannah took some family pictures of us in the beginning of december. Scarlett is 7 months in these pictures. She took so many good ones that it was impossible to choose which ones to add to the blog, so I apologize for picture overload. Side note - Scarlett's eyes are really this blue, and she is really just this happy :) we are very lucky!

8-9 months

I have so many posts I need to catch up on...Christmas, Family Pictures, and her 8 and 9 month landmark posts. So I'm starting here and hope that the others won't take long to follow.  A lot as changed in the last 2 months. It is crazy how much she can grow and develop in just 2 shorts months.

At 8/9 months Scarlett:

  • is 23.1 lbs, 29 1/2 " long and is in the 97 percentile
  • Stands on her own very well...She gets up by pushing off on something but a handful of times she's stood up all on her own, and tries to stand up all the time.
  • Is the fastest crawler I know :)
  • Babbles all day long...her favorite thing to say is "Dada"
  • Has just enough hair to clip a bow in :)
  • Has had her first Christmas and we loved every minute of it!
  • Is starting to take her first few steps already and loves to try over and over again
  • Plays and plays and plays all day
  • Loves swinging on the swings
  • Is starting to play peek-a-boo by trying to hide her face then pop up again
  • Loves Jamba Juice
  • Waves Hello all day long
  • Loves to clap her hands
  • Is the most fun happiest baby ever
  • Gets so much joy out of just about anything

7 months

Oooops this is a little..well a lot late. Scarlett turned 7 months on Thanksgiving, November 22nd.  Since her 6 month birthday Scarlett seems to be a whole new baby. I know I say this every post but Scarlett just keeps getting cuter and more fun as the days go by.  So lucky to be her mama!

At 7 months Scarlett:

  • Weighs 20.10 lbs
  • Got her worst cold yet to date. So sad :(
  • Took a trip to Hawaii and had a fabulous time in the ocean and the sand
  • Stopped sleeping through the night due to trip to Hawaii and being sick
  • Started to crawl the day after her 7 month birthday
  • Went from army crawl to actually on her hands and knees (still a little wobbly at it)
  • Thinks dogs are the funniest things around
  • Eats finger foods and loves them! She'll eat about anything except babyfood (unless we trick her into it, but putting a puff in first)
  • Loves the little snack puffs
  • Can stand on her own (for a few seconds then tips back and doesn't bend her knees so its hilarious-she looks like she's playing the trust game where someone catches you when you fall back...Don't worry I always (well almost always) am there to catch her
  • Went from saying one word (sounds) at a time first it was "ma-ma-ma-ma" then she would stop saying that and only say "ba-ba-ba-ba," and then she stopped saying that and only would say "da-da-da."
  • Still always says "maaaaa-maaaaa" when she's crying really hard (i.e. in the car seat and i can't help her)...Breaks my heart.
  • Loves it when Dada throws her in the air
  • Loves to stick her tongue out and move it from side to side
  • Yells, squeels, and recently roars to her hearts content

She's been in Christmas jammies since October...Love it!


This is how I always find Scarlett when she wakes up...pulling the bumper down to look towards the door where I walk in...bless her heart!
