Big girl so fast!

My smallest princess is getting so big so fast!!! I cant not believe in just 1 week and 1 day she will be 8  months old!!! It seems like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. She is doing so many wonderful things now! She says MOMMMMA and DADDDDA all the time, which of course melts my heart. She tries so so so hard to crawl, and can scoot backwards a little bit instead of forwards. Her favorite toy of all time is a little yellow rubber ducky, and of course she still loves her pink silky blankie. Her hair is finally laying down a little bit now...grin...{for those of you who don't know she was born with TONS of hair that stuck STRAIGHT UP}!

She has been sleeping all night for a while now, but every now and then she will wake up for a little 3am snack. I can't blame her though, I still wake up hungry every now and then too. We bought her very first sippie cup a couple of days ago {she has never taken a bottle} and its so adorable watching her try to figure out what to do with it. She got the hang of it I do believe, but she definitely likes to play with it more than she does drink her apple just from it.

I think there is something I should put on my blog that I haven't ever talked about to anyone except my closets friends and family. I know Bailee's adorable ears stick out more than other kids, and the reason for this is because she inherited it from me. When I was little, my ears stuck out just like hers. I had surgery when I was 4 to have them pinned back. I am very thankful my parents chose this for me, because kids are so incredibly mean, and I would hate to have "sticky-outty" ears now. Bailee's ears don't stick out quite as much as mine did, but it is still noticeable. When we were meeting with the orthopedic surgeon a few months ago he said a quick fix for this would be to put a little band over her ears during the day. Well me being the stubborn lovely mom I am, I didn't really want to do this for some reason. I figured her ears would go back on their own....and well they haven't.


I have finally decided to give the head band idea a try for a little while. I am perfectly happy with her adorable ears staying just the way they are, but as I said before KIDS ARE MEAN. I don't ever want anyone to make fun of her for being a little different, or her to feel self conscious about anything on her beautiful little body.

Hopefully the head band will work because I really do not like the idea of my baby being put to sleep {I was a nervous wreck when Carlee had tubes put in a year ago}!! I think she looks so dang cute it her head bands, and I have decided I must learn to make those cute flowers crafty moms are making now days to decorate them with. I feel a craft day with one of my best friends Justina coming up very soon!!! {by the way click here to visit Justina's super cute blog}

I could go on and on about my baby girl, but I must continue on my quest of designing Carlee's birthday invitations! Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!!!
