7 Months Old baby

How on earth is my baby 7 months old?! It went way too fast! She is so cute! Still a pretty perfect baby. She started sitting around 5 months and is a pro. She is now moving, not crawling, but she can get around through rolling and half crawling- she reaches as far as she can and then goes to crawling position and belly flops and sits back up. It's fun to watch her. She has also started to figure out how to go from tummy to sitting up, which means I had to lower the crib.
Sweet angel still sleeps amazing most nights. Naps are hit and miss, but sleeping through the night since a few weeks old is the greatest gift a child can give their parent. Eleanor weighs the same as 1 yr old libby did, lol. She is surprisingly only 65% though for weight at 17 lbs but 96% for height at 28 inches!! Shr reminds me a lot of liberty at that age. Cheerful and determined.
Eleanor is also eating baby food at dinner time and basically anytime I need to get something done in the kitchen I give her a handful of puffs or cheerios which she loves! She definitely prefers finger food to baby food. Liberty weirdly still likes baby food and offers to finish whatever Eleanor doesn't eat, it's really weird and kinda gross.
Picture time!
So proud of sitting herself up!
This was like 5 minutes before the other one, she was sound asleep 


I lover her new dress/outfit b/c it's orange and she looks super cute in it

practicing crawling

Funny face when she had a cold. She kept sticking her tongue out like a puppy

It's warm enough for swings!

First pedicure. it was much harder than I thought it would be. Wiggly toes

Fell asleep playing, it was so cute and sad and so uncomfortable looking. 

I can't set her down without her finding something she shouldn't have. She's going for some cheetos Elliot made the mistake of putting down within her reach

5 year old Liberty

I can't believe we have a 5 year old. It went by so fast. Although Liberty acts way older than 5 (her best friends are 7 & 8 yrs old), it's still hard to believe.

In January I took the girls to a ballet performance. It was fun and so cute! I can't wait till Libby's in a big performance! She loved it. We ended the night with some Baskin Robbins ice cream cones. 
Liberty still loves school and friends and being outside with her friends. This year we did a big party, a My Little Pony party to be exact.  It was pretty crazy and she got spoiled and she loved it. I was pretty proud of my drawing skills making a "pin the tail on the pony" game. Other activities were Rarity's jewel hunt and temporary tattoos.

We love our helpful 5 year old. She loves her little sister so much and is always trying to pick her up and make her laugh. Liberty is the smartest in her class and is starting to read. She loves to write sentences which is so cute. I love finding her funny notes and trying to decode the phonetic words. Her teacher says she can count to 89. Apparently she can't remember the 90s. I think her teacher really enjoys her, she always has good things to say about her. Libby also knows mommy's phone number and loves writing it all over the sidewalk in chalk...and on lots of her papers. I'm a little afraid to teach her our address because with how friendly she is, she'd probably tell everyone she meets.
At school they do "Friday Fun Day" where they paint their faces. Liberty of course loves it
Liberty still loves art. It is always trying to take over our house. I have to sneak throw away drawings all the time, because she "needs" all of them. I really should do better at mailing them to grandparents. Liberty is also still doing ballet. She is pretty good and knows what all the french names to the moves are. It's fun to watch the little girls practice. I think she will enjoy a faster pace type of dance though if we do it next year. She is frequently pulling her tutu up to her armpits and doing something silly.

Looking too old!

We set up the picnic table from grandma and grandpa and the kids had to have a picnic as soon as the last screw was tightened, lol. 

Libby loves field trips because she gets to ride the bus!

I love that Libby can pump her legs on the swings
