Bowling Green bound!

So I was supposed to work mon, tue and wed nights, then leave for Bowling Green, KY thur at noon. But a wonderful friend - Jessica Schmitt - worked for me wed night. So I had all day wed to wash clothes, clean the house and pack - but not without loving on JE and Emma first! Emma, Elsie, Shannon and my mom stopped by to play in the water for a little while.

Ok, back to Jane Ellis' first road trip. So thursday at noon, I packed my car full of luggage, shoe cakes (more on that in a bit) baby diapers, and the baby- along with my MIL and her mom. And off we started for Bowling Green for Robert's cousin, Sarah Schmitt's (no relation to Jessica) wedding. JE was awesome! She slept most of the way and only required us to stop twice :)

Meeting her cousin Erin for the first time

The high heel shoe cakes by Cakes by Mom and Me were a HUGE hit!

Sarah's wedding shoe; can you say precious!

I absolutely adore this little girl!

The next day, Jane Ellis decided to take a nap right before we had to leave for the rehearsal. So I just said I'd stay with her until she woke up. Then I realized Robert had my car keys, So I decided to take advantage of the lighting and play around with my camera :)

The wedding was beautiful and the reception was sooo much fun! JE was awesome the whole weekend and I think she really loved all the attention :)

A quick diaper change and a nice stretch before getting back on the road. I guess something was funny :)

Such a good girl!

6 months, really!

June 25 - Is my sweet little wonderful Jane Ellis really 6 months already! You have accomplished so much!




* You are already 18 lbs!



* You have started trying to crawl - you can scoot on you belly great and you love to get up on your tippy toes with you butt up in the air.



* You eat twice a day most days. You like oatmeal mixed with things like applesauce, yogurt, sweet potatoes. Anything that gives it flavor. For dinner, I either make you something pureed, or give you something like steamed veggies, avacado, or bananas that you can play with and feed yourself. We've also discovered Sprouts meals - they are organic and healthy and you love them. So when we go out to eat this is your meal of choice :)



* You are still nursing! That was a big goal of mine - to get you to 6 months. You nurse before every meal, before and after naps and really just anytime you start to fuss and seem hungry. Now let's see if we can go a whole year!



* You need some big girl toys. You are quickly becoming bored with your baby toys. I see a trip to target or toys-r-us in your near future!



* You are still an awesome sleeper! You still sleep in your co-sleeper by my bed, you have started to pull up some, but not in your bed yet. I can see you starting that very soon though, so I'm cautiously waiting for it.



* You LOVE your daddy! Everytime you see him you grin and giggle so big! I know it just melts his heart.



* You are really starting to notice Daisy and orange kitty and you LOVE them too! Though they are just starting to pay any attention to you!



* You are saying ba ba and sometimes ma ma. But you love saying ba ba ba ba and just babble and giggle. I have heard you say da da once our twice. We're still working on it ;)



* You are still the light of our lives and we love you more and more each and everyday!
