June and more!

Wow, how time is flying by! Our little girl is 8 months old now and growing up too quickly for me! No, she doesn't crawl yet...not even army crawl. In fact, usually on her tummy there is quite a protest!! I am not sure what to do about it except make her do it and then she still understands how to flip over to her back when she's 'had enough'. On the positive note she sits up really well, and can stand up when standing with her back against something. So maybe she will be one of the ones who just skips the crawling phase?? Or she is just a late bloomer...we still love our little chunky monkey :)

This was no 'professional photo shoot' but it was fun to get another picture of her in her tutu. She loves it more and more as time goes on and looks cuter and cuter in it.

In the 'almost crawling position'

Her 4th of the July 'kini

We took her swimming for the first time and she loved it! It was no surprise since I've been bathing with her since she was a month old and filling the water high enough to where she can (with assistance) 'swim' around. So the pool was just a big bath tub to her. The only problem was that she likes to dip her head down and try and lap up the water like a puppy. She does this in the bath too, I'm not sure why. It might be because I started 'cup training' her in the bath because there was no mess involved :) So now she realizes the water in the cup is like the water surrounding her and she wants a drink!

The cousins came in to town and her and Greyson look much closer to the same age now!! They were both so distracted this was the only pic we got of them looking in the same direction :)

In front of the penguins at her first trip to the zoo!! It was so fun and she did so well!

It's Father's Day so I thought I would include some recent pictures of Melody with her daddy, who she loves and frequently calls out for. When he's not in the room she'll look around and yell "DAAADDAAA!!"

Kisses!!

At the zoo! I love this picture :)

I had to show off her finally growing hair. I love her little 'faux hawk'. It's proof she has hair!!!

We have a busy month ahead...literally every weekend we are busy doing something. We have nana's camp, 4th of july, family reunions, and more :-S Craziness!!

And I am turning 24 next weekend...weird :)
