Anna-7months

Anna is just reaching these month birthdays so quickly....7 months already.  Some memories from the 7th month:

This month was a crazy month for Anna as Uncle Dan and Auntie Karis and family were in Kansas for about 3 weeks.  Prior to this time, she was on a great schedule sleeping 10-11 hours a night and taking good naps.  But during the time they were here, we spent as much time with them as we could.  A couple of nights, the girls went shopping and I took her with us.  We had other late nights.  I stayed the night at my mom's quite a bit with Tim working 3rd shift (and I had seen a mouse at our house which I hate!) and sleeping in another bed was hard to get used to.  Anyhow, it was worth her to get off schedule so we could be with my sister and her family!  I do not regret it one bit.  We had so much fun making memories and spending time with them. Her Uncle Dan, Auntie, Karis, and her cousins gave her lots of love! 
Such a cute picture of Elliot and Anna!


Krista and Anna. 

Love the smiles here of Kayla and Anna. Both Krista and Kayla loved holding Anna and were so good with her!


Auntie Karis LOVED Anna so much and loved getting her cuddles!



Kayla is playing with Anna here! Love it!

Anna celebrated her first Christmas.  She got some fun presents from grandparents and aunts and uncles.

Opening presents...well, I should say Tim opening her presents!

Auntie Karis got a cute picture of Anna under the Christmas tree.

She now has 2 teeth.  They came within 2 days of each other. 

She weighed in at 16 lbs. 8 ounces and was 27 1/2 inches tall.

She got her 1st pictures done at JC Penneys.  She did SO well.  I think they took pictures of her like 5 minutes and were done.  She smiled so big for all of her pictures.  

She smiles so easy!
She had the privilege of seeing both sets of my grandparents this month.  The grandparents enjoyed holding her!

Anna was able to go to Florida for the 1st time to see her grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.  She stayed in her first hotel on the trip and took her first flight on a plane.  She did very well with traveling overall.  (The trip home was a little hard as she had to be in her car-seat
 for so long.)

Aunt Talitha getting ready to feed Anna her first bite of ice cream cake!
Anna was all about the cake!

"It was so yummy, Grandma!"

Uncle Dave just loved Anna.  He played with her a lot!
She is starting to get up on all fours.  Not crawling yet, but she does manage to move all around the room!  I am going to have to vacuum more now that she is all over! 
She is such a fun sweet little girl!

Very good blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.

Would you recommend starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I'm completely confused .. Any tips? Thank you!

A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment.

I believe that you ought to write more on this topic, it may not be a taboo matter
but generally people don't speak about these subjects. To the next! Many thanks!!
