Iggy turns 7 months old!

Seriously- this is redic! 7 months! Happy Birthday little igghead! I put your sticker on today so you could celebrate all day and take your 7 month photo, but it seems you had a different plan. You are so aware and curious now that as soon as I stuck the sticker on your belly you became fascinated and determined to pull it off and figure out what it was. I tried to hide it under a hoody for the afternoon but you are too smart for that. Needless to say we only have 1/2 of your sticker left and the top that it was stuck to is now in the garbage because the sticker was so wet and mangled it wouldn’t come off- lol. You are such a little busy body! I managed to sneak in a pic before the sad sticker tragedy so we’re all set.

On another note little nugget, you had your daddy on the edge of a meltdown today and it was one of the saddest things I’ve seen yet (though while it was happening I knew it was a bit humorous too).  Your daddy had let his beard and hair get…hmm…what’s the best way to describe it…oh I know…untamed. Anyway, he went in the bathroom while you and I played, and shaved off his hair and beard. When he came out looking for you and calling out your name, you took one look at him and screamed bloody murder. You were so upset and scared that you started kicking your legs whenever he came close to you. This lasted on and off for 2 hours!! 2 hours you had him trying everything and anything just to get you to not cry when he looked your way. He put a hat on, took out your daddy book to show you pictures of him, ate dinner looking down so he didnt scare you, tried to play in your nursery with you, sang songs, put you on his shoulders, you name it – he did it. Finally around bath time you realized that no one stole your daddy and he just looked a little different- THANK THE LORD! It was a sad, sad sight. You may be the only one to get him to shave on a regular basis so i guess a  thank you is in order. Well played my little daughter.

Other than the “not my daddy” meltdown- we had a fantastic day! You are talking all the time, eating like a champ, rolling like crazy, sitting up on your own, and guess what- you slept 6 hours straight on your 7 month bday! I dont know if you’re turning over a new leaf or if having a leg shaking, not my daddy, meltdown fit is exhausting…my guess is the latter, but either way, I’ll take it! Happy 7 month to the most amazing daughter on the planet! Mommy and your new clean shaven daddy loooove you!

So-So turns 6 months old!

I can’t believe our little nugget is 6 months old already?!! That was the quickest 1/2 year of my entire life! Papa and Nana were here to celebrate and we had a great time (pics to come). We cooked, decorated the xmas tree and just spent some quality family time at home. We had our first real snow this past weekend and the Chicago winter officially set in. Little iggy is teething and her two bottom teeth have just started to poke through. She is growing up so fast- ugh! She just started to sit up a bit and we’ll be practicing that some more this week. Igg’s we love you so so so much. You are the most amazing little baby on earth. You are happy, smart, fun, beautiful, hilarious and just 100% munchable! Every little bit of you is munch worthy! nom nom nom…we looooooove you!

Igg’s is 5 months old!

When people say it flies by…they’re not kidding! I cant believe our little iggy igola is now 5 months old and at the same time I still can’t believe that 5 months ago she wasn’t in the world. What did we do before she was born?

Iggs, we are so very proud of you and love you beyond words. You are the coolest cat around. Mommy and Daddy got you a Jumparoo for your 5 month bday and it couldn’t arrive soon enough! You are a little busy body. You want to see and do everything we’re doing.  Lately you just love being in the carrier and walking around checking everything out. You have a new game that you think is hilarious- and in turn we think is hilarious. We put you in the carrier and run around the couch and then one of us hide behind the counter and yell peek-a-boo and you just bust out laughing. You even start smiling when you turn the couch because you know it is coming. Ugh you are the coolest! You also started hanging with me while I cook lunch and dinner. You sit in your little bumbo and I tell you everything I’m preparing. Keep this up and mommy will be all set for her own cooking show!

We loooove you. Happy 5 month birthday So-So! You tried to eat your 5 months sticker all day (along with anything else that went in your hand and then straight to the mouth) but we got some pics of course. XOXOXOXO  Mommy and Daddy.

So-So’s 1 Month Old!
