6 months old

i'm late on this, so let's pretend it's last friday (the 10th)

let's also pretend that i'm a bikini model even after pushing out 2 children...yes. that's nice.

anyway. friday the 10th = brynn is 6 months old. that's 1/2 a year. that's closer to being 1 than being a newborn. that's nuts.











bless you.












i love her. she's perfect. much like alex was at this age. 6 months = fun.

she can sit up- she can roll- he can launch herself off of anything- she's trying to crawl- she babbles- blows raspberries- eats food- grabs things- screams loudly- etc etc. all of those things that pedis say babies are supposed to do, and more.

::sigh::

i'm already missing the snuffly bebe stage. THIS is why Michelle Duggar has 20 kids. i get it now.

6 month pics

oh my- the cuteness! "lookee here! i'm 6 months old folks!"

"zomg- weiner puppies!!!"

the many faces of alex.

and she had her 6 month appt today.

26 inches long & just under 15lbs. tall & skinny.

she got her shots (oy) and all is well.

and i'm slippin' peeps- it hurts. clicky? gracias!

6 months old today!

my kid is 6 months old today! i simply cannot wrap my head around it!
i pushed her out 6 months ago? she's been the best thing EVER for 6 months? 6 months?!

gah! i love her so much it hurts sometimes. and now she "talks" and rolls around and sits up and HUGS US! ::squee:: and grabs things, eats things, plays- loves- oy! she's freaking perfect.

since she's 6 months TODAY i don't have any 6 months pics yet- but these will suffice for the time being :)

cutest thing ever- right? she's got her 6 month appt tomorrow & the hubs is going to take the day off & "hang out" with her afterwards. heaven only knows what that will entail- but he did the same thing after her 4 month appt & had a blast.

now, speaking of "6 months..."- this is what i looked like on saturday night (boston night):


noone seemed to believe that i had a 6 month old sitting at home. "you?! a 6 month old?! psha!"
now i must say- hearing that is quite the ego boost.

when you spend your days covered in spitup & drool- sometimes wearing the same outfit 2 days in a row (yes, i'm guilty)- with split ends & bags under your eyes- you TOTALLY look & feel like you have a 6 month old at home.
so getting gussied up & hitting the town is just what is needed to make you feel human again.
at least in my humble opinion.

not all of us are lucky enough to look bangin' 99% of the time after having kids- so that 1% of the time is a must!
go out & try it- very refreshing!

so there you go. now it's 7am on Wed- i'm once again covered in spit up & wearing the same thing i wore yesterday. i've got frizzy hair (thank you rain) and i just realized i forgot to put deoderant on- but i feel like a million bucks because i've got the worlds most adorable 6 month old just waiting for me to pick her up after work.
