7 months?!

Yesterday Tegan reached seven months of age! It is a confusing feeling; it feels like I just had her yesterday, yet it feels like she has been here forever. Maybe that is because I can barely remember her being that little tiny newborn I first held. It is odd to me that in only 5 months time we will be celebrating Tegan's first year of life and she will no longer be a baby! She will be walking and saying her first words! Our baby is growing up so fast!!! Tegan broke through her first tooth last week!!!! Don't let those little baby teeth fool you, they are sharp! The scab on my finger is proof :)(click on the picture below for a closer look at that new pearly white)
Tegan was still having trouble with her reflux, even with being on her prevacid we had projectile issues. I called her pedi and they advised us to switch Tegan to enfamil AR which is a very very thick formula for babies who spit up a lot. The AR is a miracle worker!!! Since the switch she has been a new baby!!!
Tegan and I anxiously awaiting fathers day! We have made it so close which makes it even harder to hold off on gift giving!!! Tegan and I worked hard on Zach's gifts, we wanted to give him something special and memorable. Ever since Tegan was born we would wake daddy up with "naked tegan butt stamps" before her bath. So as one of Zachary's gifts I painted her butt and stamped it on paper, scanned it and added a poem to it in photoshop so we could make a coffee cup out of it. Zach is a major coffee lover so I knew this gift would be something he would love and cherish forever.
Tegan painted daddy a pretty picture using her little feet :) which I framed. This was her very first painting :) maybe one day she will grow to be an artist just like her daddy. His last gift is a big slide show of Zach and Tegan, I added a menu to it and put it on a dvd :) I worked very hard on it and I can't wait to give him all his gifts and cards tomorrow morning with breakfast in bed! Happy Fathers Day to all you daddy's!!!!!!

6 1/2 months!



ALREADY!!!!!! It feels like Tegan just hit 6 months yesterday yet I am 11 days away from her turning 7 months old! Before I know it Tegan will be blowing out that candle at her first birthday! Tegan is a little girl that knows what she wants! She LOVES to be outside, whether it is just a nice stroll with mommy, sitting in the grass, or swinging on the swings at the park. When she is crying all you have to do is walk towards the door she is all smiles and giggles!! She is such a sweet little girl!

Zachary and I took Tegan on a nice wagon ride down to the ice cream shop for some ice cream! After a taste she decided she wanted mommy's cone! After our ice cream we went to the other park in town for a change of scenery. Tegan had a blast and passed out in her wagon on the walk home. We were able to carry the wagon inside and there she continued to sleep for over an hour!



Tegan should have a tooth breaking through any day now!! (fingers crossed) She has been eating less, sleeping more and today I noticed that the skin is now broken! Now we wait for that little tooth to make its grand entrance!!!
