Determined

This is what Lorelai does when she is determined to get something or somewhere.

The Grandmas Come To Visit!

This last week Grandma Dixon and Grandma Miller came to visit and we had a great time with them. Lorelai loved the attention and Gizmo spent the whole trip fighting for the attention.

Lorelai got pretty good at crawling by the time they left and also learned how to

crawl through her bouncer.

While they were here we drove down to Twin Falls and saw Shoshone Falls and Twin Falls.

First we enjoyed lunch in the park and Lorelai sprawled out!

Here we are at Shoshone Falls, so pretty!

Also while they were here I decided to start a project that ended up spread across the kitchen table the whole time. I saw the idea for this shadow box on a cooking blog linked to Jeremy and Ashley's blog so I stole it and made Lorelai a shadow box for her blessing, here's the final product!
Thanks to our mom's for coming to see us and putting up with us , we had a great time! Lorelai loved seeing her Grandmas come back soon! We love visitors and we have a spare room so if anyone needs to get away we'll take you :) !

Lorelai Crawling?

She can definitely get where she wants to go, especially if one of our phones or one of gizmo's toys is within sight on the ground. Notice the tongue at the beginning, she must have got that from Aunt Tara!

Lorelai's new favorite thing is her tongue, she just can't seem to keep it in her mouth!

This is my first attempt at putting pigtails in Lorelai's hair. As you can probably tell one is basically in the middle and the other one is on the side, but it is really hard to get her to sit still and not lunge for anything and everything in sight.

Her hair is still pretty short so they stuck straight up!

How cute are these little sandals!

and these!

We are so excited the weather has finally warmed up and we don't have to bundle up Lorelai before we go anywhere, now it's all sandals and shorts!

On Sunday I was feeding Lorelai and she was making it way harder than usual! Every time I put the spoon in her mouth she would grab onto it and then when I would try to take it to get another bite she would throw a fit. So I decided to give her her own spoon, this worked for maybe two bites when she decided she wanted both spoons and started throwing a fit to get the other one. Plus she wanted to have both spoons in her mouth at the same time along with one of her hands. Food was everywhere but in her mouth and finally I pretty much lost it and just put the bowl of food up to her mouth and let her eat straight from it as if she were drinking from a cup, of course that made an even bigger mess for me to clean up, but she really enjoyed that method of eating!

6 Months!

Lorelai is already 6 months old, we can't believe it! Today we went in for her 6 month checkup and Dr. Ally says she is the perfect baby. She weighed in at 15lb- 7ou. (45%), 26in. long (60%) and 43cm head circumference (75%). She had to get a couple shots, but she only cried for a few min.

Whenever we put her in her seat on the counter to eat the first thing she reaches for are the fake apples, yum!

She really loves hangin' out with her daddy!

We sure love this little girl!

Just Out of Reach!

The other day I put Lorelai down on her tummy and set her little stuffed duck just out of her reach to see if she would try to get it. She quickly figured out she couldn't reach it, but that didn't stop her...

Yay for Lorelai's first attempt at crawling (or scooting)!
