Nine Months!

Hello all from the Bulls! I never did update on my new due date for the newest womb tenant. We will be 18 weeks along tomorrow, and we are due January 5th. Because we had a c-section, I will have to have another, so we are really looking at a late December birthday, just like Jonathan... And maybe ven on Jonathan's birthday! 

 As for Hadassah, she is doing really well! growing normally, starting to stand on her own, loves rolling things like cars and balls. Here are her 9 month pictures. She wasn't very cooperative, so there aren't many of them. 

 

This was the best picture I got. She was not cooperating. 

Just being distracted.

Trying to take off the headband...

Practicing her standing... :)

 We went to the Dallas Zoo, and this was my favorite picture! 

An adorable smile!

Looking out at daddy...

And just about the cutest sleeping picture ever. :D 

8 months!!

This beautiful girl is now 8 months old!! 

As it turns out, this stage is INCREDIBLY difficult to make sit still... Which is why I got some background tacks in these shots... Ha! But the poses are great!

And her little sibling is 11 weeks in-womb! 

6 Month Pictures--so late.

Here are Hadassah's pictures for 6 months. Of course, she is already almost 8, so I will post 8 month ones soon after!! I didn't take 7month pictures. I forgot, and by the time I remembered, it was already almost 8 months!!

 

 

 

 

Someone is going to be a big sister!

I totally missed posting at Hadassah's 6 month mark! I have pictures on the iPad, and I intend on posting them when I can get near some internet. For now, though, I will just share our newest big news!

My beautiful baby girl is going to be a big sister! I am pregnant again!

This pregnancy has been SO different than the last one. I haven't had any symptoms other than a lack of energy, but my thought was that Hadassah was just wearing me out!

My estimated due date is late November, but it was wrong with Hadassah so I will wait to see what the ultrasound says. If that is true, I'm already 10 weeks along! I can't believe that I've almost breezed through three months without even knowing! Anyway, we are super excited that Hadassah is going to have a little brother or sister. It is such a huge blessing! :D

Five Months!!

Our beautiful baby girl is now five months old! She is adorable and as fun as ever!

She is pretty proficient at assisted sitting, though she has a little way to go to be able to do it herself. She wobbles a lot! She definitely has the leg strength to stand, but she needs my balance to do it. She is getting there, and way too fast for my liking.

We were planning to go to the zoo yesterday, but it was way too crowded, so we ended up going to the park. She seemed interested until she got hungry. She is very observant, which is so amazing to see in someone so small!

I must say, though it is difficult, being a mom is a blast!! She is so fun to watch and play with. I had no idea how amazing it would be. She is such a gift!

Here are a few more from her 5 month photos. ADORABLE. I just can't stand it. She was smiling mostly because Jonathan came in and was making noises for her. She is so fun! Haha. 

Here she was watching herself... Excited, yet a little freaked out. Haha. She loves looking at her reflection, and she loves watching herself on the ipad. She also loves watching Sesame Street on the ipad. (They have a podcast! Best discovery ever!!)

One of the first times she ate. This is a cookie. I love the tired look on her face. Haha. 

Something new...

We knew that 6 months was the official suggestion for when to start feeding, but we tried a little early. We don't give it to her often--once a day or once every two days-- but she seems to really like it. And she likes chewing on the spoons. Haha. She also always wants to help us feed her. She grabs the spoon and puts the food in her mouth, which is incredibly messy, and so very adorable. So far all she has had is rice cereal and mashed sweet potato, both of which she seemed to like.
