Love the Fair!

I love going to the fair! Steven brought us to the Kannapolis fair last week and we had a blast! We'd never been there before, but it was the perfect size fair for us. They had lots of rides for Brennan and it wasn't too crowded. He could have stayed all night, but the rest of us had to work the next day! Mimi and Lindsey kept Haven company since she can't ride the rides quite yet. Maybe next year Haven!

My cutie pie!

Brennan's first ride on a horse!

Please excuse my open mouthed pic, but I couldn't resist showing you Brennan's awesome face. Click on the picture to make it larger. Brennan loved this slide! He said it was his favorite (but it was the last ride we went on, so he may have been swayed by the most recent in his memory).

On the Move!

Haven has officially started to crawl. It's so interesting, because Brennan had a funny crawl and she is doing the same thing. She isn't crawling on both knees, she keeps one leg bent in front and the other behind. I can't really describe it. I'll have to get some video uploaded to show you. We'll see if she ever straightens it out or if she'll be walking in a few weeks like Brenann did. Anyways, she is too cute. It's weird having her follow us around or just leave the room completely. I think it's weird for Brennan to have her mobile too. He keeps getting my attention and telling me to watch her. He is proud of his little sister!

8 months old!

Haven is now 8 months old...so I can remember...

She just got her first bottom tooth

She still takes three naps (unless we are out and about most of the day)

She wants to crawl and walk, but has not quite mastered either

She has started to have separation anxiety when I leave the room

She knows who people are...especially strangers

She has a beautiful belly laugh when you tickle her in the right spot

She still isn't a predictable eater...she doesn't seem to love baby food (does anyone have good suggestions for heathy table food for a baby with no teeth?)

She still loves her brother and watches his every move - she doesn't even mind when he grabs her arms and pinches her all of the time!

She gets bored of the same toys...she wants to explore new ones, especially the ones Brennan is playing with

She gets mad when you take something away from her

She can get her feelings hurt if you talk sternly to her and it will break your heart!

She is a sweet beautiful baby and I thank the Lord for her...she is growing way too fast!
