Big Undertaking!!!

So, while I was blog stalking today- I saw that several of my fellow casual bloggers were doing this 'challenge.' I need something to keep me motivated and to give me ideas on what to blog about since I am not a creative thinker at all!
This little 'challenge' asks you to post every single day for 30 days- well, I am going to tweak that a little and do it WEEKLY!!! That doesn't sound as overwhelming to me as DAILY- and that way I can still post little updates and tidbits throughout the other days! So here is my little schedule that I copyed from a fellow blogger- however, turn mine into Week 1, Week 2, ect......

I'll start today- maybe tomorrow- depending on how much energy I have later today!

Here are some random pics I've sNaPPeD over the last little while! I finally uploaded them off my camera!

First attempt at carrots were a HIT!! Although- guess what- she loves the green beans more! Ha!! she can't be my daughter!

Loving her Charlie!

I'm a THUG!! haha- (sorry about the cell pics- my camera on my phone sucks!)

Cuddle time with Dad and Charlie!

She loves to pet Charlie!

I'll post more of these ones soon- we did a little photo shoot in this adorable outfit!!! But- I have to get ready for work now- as much as I would love to stay at home with her!

Where did half a year go???

My baby girl is getting to be not so much a baby anymore!!! She is 6 months old today- CRAZY!!! I don't have any pics yet but we are getting some done on Wednesday so when I get those back I'll post them! I'm so excited to get them- Therfore, this post will be a boring, picture-less one! I'll get them up soon though- with Halloween and everything coming up I'll have to dust off the ole camera again!

Little Tidbits About Hayden at 6 Months

• She is finally eating solids!
• She LOVES her green veggies! (She can't be related to her mom)
• She can roll over- she just chooses not too~ the lil turd~
• She can sit up on her own for a little bit but then she 'topples.' It doesn't seem to bother her much though!
• We have a three nap schedule going- her morning one is 2-2 1/2 hours- her aftern noon one is 1 1/3-2 hours- and her early evening one is 45-60 min.
• She sleeps from about 8:30 pm-8 am with a feeding at 5am-ish and we are weaning her "dreamfeed" at 10:30.
• She still will only drink about 4-5oz at a time- sometimes less-
• She LOVES her "movies" Your Baby Can Read- we'll see if they actually work!
• We are going through another cranky stage- I've been researching on the internet at it appears she is suffering from a "wonder week" she is about 26 weeks old and that is one of them! So maybe.........
• We are SSOOO looking forward to a bunch of firsts- Halloween- Thanksgiving- Christmas!!!

FREE STUFF!!!!

So I absolutely LOVE free stuff!!! I have a few tips for you few that actually look at this lil blog!!

Go to uddercovers.com and with the promo code: Family2010 you can get a free one of these (you have to pay shipping).

.

Then

.

.

They will automatically direct you to a page that will have a promo code for one of these (mine was my email address).

Tip: You can order as many of the uddercovers as you want to using that promo code- you just can't do them in the same transaction. AND....if you use a different email address each time- you can get multiple sling promo codes (I have three different emails so I did it three different times)!!!

These are fabulous baby gifts for friends or just to keep for yourself! I love my uddercover! Use it all the time!!! And I am so excited to try the sling out when it gets here (although I am VERY VERY fond of my homemade Moby wrap!

Where did another month go???? It's so sad~crazy~exciting~and nerve racking all at the same time!!!! Hayden is getting to be so much fun and I love this stage (but I'm sure I'll say that with every stage)!!
Things she is doing now:
~She can FINALLY roll over (only from her belly-to-back)!
*She tries really hard to sit up by herself.
-She sleeps through the night every so often.
~She hates solid food! It's so funny to watch her face!
*She has quite the vocal cords (maybe we have a singer on our hands?)
-Still loving the cute giggles-

~She is still loving her puppy!

Having some tummy time under her play gym!

Well, she pooped in the bath for the first time the other night! It was so gross and hilarious!! She thought it was so funny!

Since Cedar is windy 95% of the time! We resort to an indoor pool! She loves it! We put her in her lil floaty and she puts her arms up and relaxes back! She loves the water!

Bestest Friends!!!

~It all started when Charlie met Hayden~

Now, Charlie has officially claimed her as her own!

Lo and behold- the feelings are reciprocated!

I had just put her in her 'straight-jacket' AKA swaddler- and LOOK- no screaming!

My Baby Is ~4~ Months Old!!!

Yesterday my little Millie turned 4 months old. I cannot believe how fast the last four months have flown by!! Hayden is getting to be so much fun- We absolutely love being her parents.

Things she is doing now:

-She found her HANDS- she sat there looking at them and turning them over and over~

~Charlie is her FAVORITE- the only time she doesn't get MAD while I'm swaddling her is when Charlie is in the room distracting her!

-She has slept through the night twice- I woke up panicked and thought I was going to run in her room and find a blue baby:-(

~She is doing SOOOOOO much better at napping- She takes two two hour naps and a one hour nap in the evening.

-We think the colic is FINALLY gone!!!! WAHOO!

~She gets so smiley and flirty when her daddy is talking to her! She almost acts a little embarrassed! Ha Ha!!

-She isn't rolling over yet :-( maybe soon.

I swear every time I turn around- either her bow or flower is in her eyes!
