Seven Months!

Month 6 was a little rough for us. Poor Everly had an ear infection the entire month. After two rounds of antibiotics one ear infection turned into a double ear infection. We just recently finished our 3rd round of antibiotics and are watching her closely to see if she still has one. We cant figure out if the sleeplessness is from bad habits from the past month or if she has another one. We will give it another day before taking her back to the doctor. Speaking of sleep... what is that? These ear infections have ruined her! Although she would wake up in the middle of the night, she would at least go back to sleep. Not anymore. Its nearly impossible to get her back to sleep without putting up a huge fight, which doctor said not to let her cry much until we could get ear infections and allergies under control. Help! We did get put on better allergy meds and she seems SO much better, so hopefully that will mean the end of ear infections.

Everly is now crawling as best as I think she is going to. She kind of just lunges herself with her feet because she would rather be standing. And does a lot of downward dog poses. Now that she can get around that way, she would rather climb all over us and stand up! She is even getting brave and has let go a few times after getting herself stood up. It will be interesting to see if she is walking soon. Emma didn't walk until well after a year old! She also says "DaDa" a lot. Especially when shes upset.

We drove to Midland for the day one Saturday and Everly screamed half way there, then on the way home screamed the entire way home minus the first 30 minutes. Should make our 5 hour trip to Colorado this month interesting.

Even with this rough month we still adore this little girl and her sister more than anything and cant wait to see what month 7 brings us!

Emma update

Emma started Pre-K this month! Our Daycare is a certified Texas school ready school. So we kept her there for Pre-K and will be moving to public school next year. Scary! So far she loves it and is doing great! She still entertains us daily with her sass and still helps us entertain Everly and adores her!

Six Months!

How in the world has 6 months already surpassed?! Time flies when you are getting no sleep and have two crazy kids! ;) Everly weighed 16.5 lbs which shot her into the 57th percentile for weight from the 26th 2 months prior! She is 26 inches tall which put her into the 64th percentile.

A lot happened in month 5. Everly went on her first plane ride to South Padre. Both girls got to experience the beach for the first time. Emma LOVED it. Everly slept a lot on the beach and even enjoyed playing in the sand and eating it! Everly did pretty good on the flight as long as she had a bottle in her mouth or was sleeping! (that might explain the weight jump! ha!) We all had a great time with family and cant wait to go back one day.

We are rocking back and forth on all fours and I think she will be crawling very soon! We also have a tooth coming through on the top. On top of all these changes the poor thing also had an ear infection when we went to her 6 month appointment. So yay for the beginning of those! We have also been experimenting with baby food. Emma loves to help feed her, and Everly adores Emma, so it all works out. Everly has been quite the grabber, so shes likes to grab the spoon and try to feed herself and then either gag herself or throw it down for the dogs to lick. She is also sitting up on her own and has found her toes. She LOVES her toes and to blow spit bubbles at us!

We celebrated the fourth of July this month and had visits from baby Kate and cousins from Daytons side of the family. Bare with me, there are a lot of pictures in this one! These kids are just too darn cute so its hard to pick only a few. :)
