{my favorite recent photo of us}
Life has been busy lately and I can't believe it has been so long since I have done a 'Life with Roswelle Gray' update. Before the passing of my uncle, I was actually in GA with my family for 10 days. Paul went on a guys trip and was in NYC for work so it was a great week for Roswelle and me to head South.
Roswelle will be 7 months on Monday, 10/21!!!!! I can't believe I have a 7 month old! Some highlights in Roswelle Gray's life: she is an AMAZING napper/sleeper - we just lay her down for her naps during the day (no rocking, shhh'ing, etc) and she sleeps 6:30pm-6:30am. She is eating solid foods - her favorite foods are broccoli, oranges, and eggs. She is still exclusively breast-feeding, we are doing the Baby Lead Weaning approach to introducing food, I'll plan to do a separate post on it - it has been a great experience for us. She can navigate all over the living room rug but no official crawling yet. She LOVES attention...she will sit in her activity seat completely still until we look over at her and then she will start to bounce and smile and talk!
*photo overload warning*
instead of writing out paragraphs of what we have been up to, I decided to show you through photos and captions!
We got her all dressed up for church in Georgia! My mom jokes "the bigger the bow the closer to God" ;)
{Mia, Momma, and Baby!}
When I hang around my 16yr old brother with my baby on my hip, I'm acutely aware of how officially uncool I am. That's ok with me ;) guess I'll be what the young kiddos call 'basic'
Roswelle loves animals now!!!! She giggles when they lick her toes. I think a trip to the zoo is in our future.
