Hope 6 Month Pictures

So as I get older, I get smarter...in theory:).  With Hope I bought a baby package through my favorite photographer.  She did Hope's newborns, 6 months or when she is sitting (which in this case was a few days from 7 months) and she will do her one year pictures.  I LOVE it!  I don't have to think twice, it's already set up:).

So here are some 6, almost 7 month pictures of our Hopey Lou!

What's that you say?

I don't really stand but I could for a quick snap of the camera!

And of course a few Seahawks pics with my girls!  

Hudson was at school or he would have been in them as well:).

Go Hawks!

Happy 6 months Hopey Lou!

My Valentines

Hannah wanted to write the names on her valentines this year:).  She did a nice job!

I asked Hudson what kind of valentines he wanted this year and no surprise he said "Bird ones!"  I found some bird valentines online that made by actual ornithologist.  Some of my favorites were: "I'd be RAVEN mad if I didn't ask you to be my valentine" "Owl be yours" "I made this valentine for you and I hope you're PLEASANTLY surprised" and "I dove you".  Another one I thought was funny but we didn't pass out said "Nice BOOBIES".  He he.  He also gave some bird gliders as gifts.  They were a big hit I guess, flying threw the air at the party.  YIKES!  I was just trying to not do candy!

This kid has pencils, tape and some sort of paper item at all times!

My three valentines:).  

Happy Valentine's from the Haaks!

Hope 6 Months

This month Hope has been growing, growing and growing!  

Her new developments are:

1. She cut her two bottom teeth
2. Still a constant pool of drool.  We change her bib multiple times a day.
3. We had our first constipation issue...a suppository was used.  Wow, what an experience!  Hope was a champ and super happy!  There wasn't any diet, food changes she just couldn't go and was getting gassy and uncomfortable.  Poor thing!
4. Since her constipation issue we have started prints, apples, pears, squash and carrots.  Hope LOVES them all! 
5. Hope loves to copy brother's sounds and mimics him.  It's so cute!

1. She have fully regressed in sleep and we are now up two times a night.  Around 11pm and 4am.  Yikes!  Mommy and daddy are tired!
2. You are sitting now.  So fun!
3. Smiles, giggles, and coos are some of our favorite things about you.  
4. Hope is starting to scootch across the floor in a very slow army crawl to get her toys.  It will be interesting to see if she is crawling next month:).

A few favorite moments this month:

Hope started the month with sitting support using the bobby and ended sitting up by herself!  Amazing how much they grow and develop in a month!

Sibling snuggles in the morning

Hope, how did you get off your blanket?!

Seahawk fun with our friends!

There there Hopey, time to wake up-Hannah.

Mom, take a picture of Hope and I-Hudson

Hope is usually a ray of sunshine in the mornings! Her little head pops up and smiles beam from cheek to cheek, even when she's hungry.  What a delight you are Hopey!

Sometimes its just too much to get out of bed...

6 months means doctor appointments and shots. 

Hope was a bit fussy but some good sleep wore off her pain:).

She keeps scootching all over:).

Can you see my two bottom teeth?

Look mom, no hands!

2nd Gear:). 

Harley onesies all the kids wore:).

My girls:).

Can't wait to see what you do next month Hope!
