And we have teeth!!

Raelynn's first tooth cut through two days ago! Well at least that's when I first noticed it. She has been the happiest teething baby EVER. She's still only cranky when she's tired... which is a majority of the time, lately. Poor girl. These teeth are wearing her out! You can see both teeth on the bottom, but the one on her left is the one you can feel has cut through. My big girl!! I am so proud of her!

Big mover

WOW! It has been far too long since I have written. Raelynn is almost 7 months old! I can't believe it. She is crawling EVERYWHERE, pulling herself up on EVERYTHING, and wow-ing EVERYONE! She has no fears! Talks to everyone, mimics coughs, snaps her tongue, and smacks things after seeing someone else hit it. She's so SMART! I am amazed every day. We went to the park today and she swung on the swings! SHE LOVED IT!

5 months

I can't believe it's been five months already! She is getting so big! I know I say that a lot, but she's growing way too fast for my liking. She is doing the army crawl all over the place!! Definitely have to keep everything off the floor when she's playing. Took some 5 month old photos today, she's such a ham! I got a model on my hands!

What a cutie!!

flashback

Raelynn has been so active!! She wont stay still! Finally got all settled into the new apartment, and her grandpa and great grandma visited and helped us out! Grandpa and Uncle Rory set up her new crib and changing table, so she has her own room AND furniture now! Slept in her crib for the first time the other night, and she did GREAT! I think she likes it. My dad gave me the pictures we got done with his friend Amy Richmond, and I am soo excited to get prints and hang them up around the new house! 

Here's a preview:

Chit Chat

Raelynn is now a talking MACHINE!! She jibber jabbers all the time now. She is starting to get the hang of sitting up by herself, and is getting used to eating rice cereal from a spoon! She ste probably a whole tablespoon of it today! Getting so big! At her 4 month appointment, she weighed in at 13 lbs 6.5 ounces(48%), 26.5 inches long(98%), and her head is in the 50%. Those darn shots got her really sleepy all day that day. When she cries and gets really upset, she says "mamama", it's the cutest thing. She has been scootin' with all her leg kicking, and she is starting to put her knees under her like she's going to crawl soon! Where has my little helpless, immobile, sleeps all day baby gone? She has been hanging out where I work a lot, and is completely LOVED here(for those who don't know, I moved back to IL), there are even some people that come in looking for her! My cousins Garrett and Gavin absolutely love her, my aunt Kie wont put her down, and some of my coworkers just adore her. She got to see her aunt Ryan, aunt Jenn, and cousin Logan my birthday weekend! She loved that visit. Still one smiley little cutie!!

Lookin' pretty, like usual!

New sunglasses for when we go swimming at Uncle Jody's!

First time with rice cereal!

At Gavin's basketball game- her first basketball game ever!

4 months

Raelynn is growing TOO FAST!! Rolling around, starting to sit up, teething, and eating a LOT! She's got a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so I'll try to update after I get off work. Let's hope we get the okay to start her on rice cereal! She needs something that fills that tummy up better! Here are some recent pictures of our angel.

Pizza?

 I WANT SOME!

Tried getting a picture of her teeth... what a face.

"drool monster"

Hectic

It has been so hectic lately! For those who don't know, Raelynn and I moved back to Illinois, and MAN have we been busy! So, I apologize for the lack of updates lately. Well, Raelynn is definitely ready for some teeth. The other day, she was crying for 3 hours... talk about stressful!! I thought I tried everything! A nice warm bottle... nope. A pacifier.. nope. Clean diaper? Nope. Bath. Not helping. Took her outside, played Barney, everything that usually works! Still crying. I ended up taking her up to the ice cream shop I work at, and my friend Jennifer saw us pull up. After I told her what was going on, her first reaction was, "Is she teething?". I couldn't believe it. I did NOT think of that!! Jennifer took her off my hands and gave her some orajel... worked WONDERS. One minute later she's the smiling little girl that everyone enjoys seeing in the ice cream shop. PHEW! I can actually feel some teeth in there.. but my aunt says it'll probably take another month for them to break through... yikes!

How about some cute pictures of the little girl?
