Look what I can do!

Haven has discovered a new trick. She can now stand (while holding something) when we put her up. Today she stood up in her crib on her own. It is amazing how quickly babies learn things.

Eating and Crawling

Haven had her first vegetables this week. Mommy started her with green beans. She loved them. She has also had squash and loves that too. She has one more day on them and then we get to try another one. It is so fun picking what to introduce to her next. She is such a great eater. I can't imagine what she will be like when we give her fruit.
She has been crawling around like crazy. She is so fast. Her favorite thing to crawl toward is Baker. Unfortunately, right when she is almost close enough to grab him... he moves. She loves finding new things around the house. She is getting better and faster everyday. We may be in trouble!!!

Fourth of July

Here are some pictures from the Fourth of July. Haven got to see so many people. She hung out will all of my family, Joy before she had Trey and the rest of the Hulls, Keith, Brian and Tirsa for dinner, Hailey, Mel, and Jason on the Fourth of July, and Trevor, Trista and Ali before we left. She went swimming in a big pool with Papa for the first time and had a blast. We love going up there to see everyone, it is just so hard to see everyone in one weekend. We were all pretty tired after that weekend.

Haven at 6 months

Terry and I took Haven to the park to try and get some good 6 month photos. She did so good. She was nothing but smiles. We took around 170 pictures. These five were my favorite. Having a digital camera is so great. You can take however many you want. My biggest problem is deleting the bad ones. I know I will never do anything with them, but I don't have the heart to get rid of them.
We go to the doctor on Friday, so I will post her "stats" once she gets weighed and measured. Right now she has her two bottom teeth and she still doesn't have much hair. She never stops moving. She is up on all fours and scoots herself around (usually backwards). She is still sleeping great and smiling all the time. She is so adventurous and has absolutely no fear. She reaches for everything no matter where it is. The other day she was strapped into her swing and when I turned around to look at her she was hanging upside down reaching for a toy that had fallen below her. It scared me to death but when I pulled her out she just smiled. We are now officially using the tray that goes over her lap when she is in the swing. We will be starting her on food soon, so you should expect to see some of those pictures soon. I can't believe six months has already gone by. She has changed so much. I have loved every minute of being a mom. Even getting pooped on in Target and having to walk through the entire store to get to the bathroom. Yes that happened TODAY! I love her with all of my heart!

Haven wants to crawl!

Haven has been getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth. She definitely knows how to move her legs, but she hasn't figured out the arm part yet. She could crawl any day now. I am so excited, but I am also not ready. We are no where near being baby-proofed and I know once she starts moving she will never stop! She loves to be on the floor and play with her toys. She also sits up great. When I felt in her mouth this morning I got another surprise. Yes, a second tooth has come through! It is amazing how things change in a matter of a day. She is so wonderful and my heart is filled with love for her.

Haven's New Chompper

The title of this blog says it all.. Just one on the bottom.... just sticking through... Terry did this blog if you could not tell. Laura wanted me to say that there is not enough showing for a picture but like all good moms she will have one up as soon as it is more visible.

Haven and Daddy Laughing

It is so fun trying to make Haven laugh. She smiles all the time, but to really make her laugh can take some work. When we get her laughing one of us always runs to grab the video camera. As soon as she sees it she stops. Here is a rare shot of her laughing that we were able to get. Daddy had her really going.
