Photo session: Essie at 6 months

 

 

 

 

We had Pam Saxon come to our home and spend some time with us. She was wonderful as you can tell and these are only the sneak preview pics. She did Adeline's flower photos this past spring and we are in love with the talent God has given her and the effort she has put into perfecting it. Glory to God. Her daughter Brooke came over (just turned 3) and I had the heart melting opportunity to hear squealing for the first time in my home. And it was my daughter having a blast. It was a memory for a lifetime. If you are interested in Pam's work check out her photo blog at www.hekeepsmesinging.blogspot.com. I would love to share more details as well if you are interested!
Essie at 6 months is now sitting very well. Rocking on all 4s and even moving forward amry crawl comando style when she has the right motivation. She has been going backwards at Sonshine Day for weeks. She loves loves loves to rock the exercauser until it about flips. I hear too that she likes the jumperoo at Sonshine as well (I can tell b/c she loves to bounce up and down in my lap). She talks too. She is refusing to eat rice cereal so much so she uses rasberries to spit it out. So we tried sweet potatoes and so far only one episode of a little rasberry. She is now spitting them out in effort to swallow. This I know how to work with.
Adeline is full of sentences and asking questions and wanting to know the different tree names. She knows her shapes, colors, counts to 12 then 20, sings her ABCs, knows the name of the first letter of her friends at school and B is for Daddy's name. She calls us Bryan and Suzanne at times. She is such a sponge. She loves her sister with kisses, hugs, dances on the bed, helping her sit back up when she falls, holds her, etc. She got to feed Essie some of her first cereal. She is trying to ride her tricycle and can really but lacks interest. She loves her sand box on the porch. She loves people, the mall, and Moes. She will eat broccoli over just about any other food (I ate a ton when prego with her). I actually eat a ton unless nursing babies so maybe that is why! She loves her Daddy and helps him carry the morning items out to the car. She walks calhoun and reprimands him. We watched Lady and the Tramp today for the first time and she wanted to put the bad doggies in time out for bad choices - all on her own initiative. She loves to watch Hi-5. She use to love Miss. Pattycake, but she has fallen out of favor to hi-5. She loves "my music" when in the car.
God is so good to us.
Esther has just started sleeping through the night (again, even though the last last time was months ago). Tonight is their first night in the same bedroom. Adeline was thrilled to have her in there tonight! We shall see how this goes.
