7 Months

Our little girl has hit the 7 month mark. She is now over half a year old. It seems like she is growing and changing every day and I love it. This post is just now getting posted because I haven't had much free time over the last few weeks. I was working extra because we were so busy at the clinic. Then Jesse left for Vegas for 5 days, so I have been on my own this week. It wouldn't have been too bad, but Addy decided to cut 4 teeth this week while Jesse was gone!! I am finding that she doesn't handle her teething very well. She is VERY clingy and doesn't sleep well, so by now I am a little delirious :)

This little girl is the light of my life! She is absolutely the most precious and sweet little thing. Her giggles and smiles just make my day (even when I am exhausted). Overall she is such a happy girl and always gets comments from strangers on her smile and adorable chubby cheeks!

I love her profile shot! This little girl is so precious to me!

So serious...

Posing for mama!

She is always trying to grab her toes!

Odds n' Ends

So, I have had to do some soul searching lately. I absolutely LOVE my job. I love what I do. But I cannot do it forever, my body won't let me. My body is healthy now, but I am not sure how long that will last for. This all started out when I was at a little boutique baby shop here in Spokane. I was looking at all the cute little baby items thinking, "I can make this". So I came home and started thinking... Then I went to the fabric store, again and again and again :) I couldn't help myself! I kept coming up with ideas. It was so much fun!

I made a few things for Addy in the process. She absolutely loves her pink "tag" blanket. She loves to play with all the different textures of the ribbons and snuggle with the softness of the material. Then of course I like putting all the hats and flowers on her. I am just starting to figure out how to do the onesies, so this is pretty basic so far. I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new sewing machine to start off this adventure. I get it next week, so then the playing really begins. I am thinking about selling my stuff on Etsy, but haven't totally decided yet.

So, to anyone who follows this blog, I would love your opinions. I am not looking for anything sugarcoated. Tell me what you think!! Please!
