This is a bit late, but I just got around to taking her picture. We do what we can :)
Raelan at 7 months
Raelan at 7 months
Raelan started to crawl the day after she turned 6 months and she hasn't slowed down since. She's speedy and loves to explore the house. She stands up and walks along furniture and the walls. She loves being able to move and is soooo much happier than she used to be. It's so much fun to watch her play and explore the world around her. She LOVES bath time, unless she gets her face in the water. She loves food and can down a whole banana in one sitting...seems like a lot for such a tiny girl. She's still wearing some 3-6 month clothes. She has one tooth so far. She talks and squeals and smiles so much. I honestly used to worry she'd be an unhappy person forever, but now she's just so wonderfully happy and fills our days with sunshine. (Yet as I'm writing this she's trying to prove me wrong...haha.) We're starting to see a social butterfly side in her and I can't wait to see if she stays that way or ends up being super shy like her momma.
I'm having so much fun being Raelan's mom. It was rough in the beginning and I definitely wasn't expecting it to be so difficult. But every day I fall more and more in love with this sweet girl and I'd never go back to life before her. Raelan is perfect for me and she is helping me to grow in more ways than I thought possible. She also has her daddy wrapped around her finger and she loves him to pieces. They're an adorable match. Heavenly Father knew what he was doing when he blessed us with Raelan.
Life is goooooood.
She loves to play in the nude.
Elmo's mommy is yellow. It makes us giggle.
Am I a bad mom?
I sometimes feel silly when I take pictures of myself with her but if I don't I won't have any pictures of the two of us together...and I reeeeeaaaallllly like her.
Swimming. She wasn't too amused. Maybe the hat embarrasses her. I think it's adorable.
That hair!
Sneaky little thing.
I tried to trap her in the living room. But when that cute face peeks over and begs for escape, I can't say no.
Sometimes I'm amazed at her beauty. She loves swinging (even if she doesn't look amused here).
Toes in the sand.
Just enjoying a morning by the river.
She's just telling me about her day.
She's so hip.
Mornings with daddy.
She hasn't figured out how to remove the books from the bookshelf yet. Not looking forward to that day.
We live right by this gorgeous pond. Some mornings we walk there and enjoy nature together. She kicks back and relaxes.
She still sometimes falls asleep while I'm nursing her. I can't help but snuggle her. She's sooo angelic. ;)
We laughed for days over this. She's obsessed with that blanket.
Crazy hair and happy bath time.
The neighbors cat always hangs around. Raelan loooooves animals and gets so excited when she sees dogs or cats.
