5, 6, 7 and 8

This sweet little babe is growing up way too fast! I am trying to enjoy every second knowing that she is for sure our last! It really is sad how in a blink of an eye our kids grow up right before eyes.

5 MONTHS
This month we decided to give Tanna her very first haircut. (At Grandma Jills). She started to play with toys. The obsession with Momma's water bottle also began this month. Tanna Jill is happy, happy, HAPPY! She hardly ever makes a fuss or a peep for that matter. She was sleeping through the night at 5 months ( and had been since like 5 days) and is an awesome little traveler. We got an Idaho Fuzzy puppy over Christmas. We named him Chewy! Tanna is scared to death of him! She is mesmerized by all of the kiddos, especially Clay. She knows her name and will laugh and smile at you if you say it. Tanna is very strong and at 5 months can roll back and forth, over and over and over again!

6 MONTHS

1/2 a year old!

This cutie patootie is growing like a weed, and with that brings an appetite! I finally decided to start feeding her instead of waiting until the end of the 6th month. It took a couple of days for the Plum to arrive, so we improvised with what we had on hand. Green peas and apple sauce!

She turned 6 months old on or around the Super Bowl, so we decided to identify the month with the helmets. 

7 MONTHS

Tanna is such dream baby! So sweet and so lovable! 

At 7 months she sits up really well. And can maneuver around the area she is in quite well. And you better watch out if anything is within reach because she can get it!

She loves to EAT! Everything! I have to be really careful, she is the only child out of 5 that likes to put things in her mouth.

And she thinks she is one of the big kids. She loves to be around all of her siblings.

Tanna has been getting up on her knees and rocking. I think it is only a matter of time before she figures out how to crawl.

This little love is very predictable. Loves her naps and is a great sleeper.

8 MONTHS

Tanna is changing so fast and is quickly moving more into that toddler stage. I don't think I am quite ready for that yet. She was suppose to be a baby for a LOOOOOOOONG time! I think with each child the faster they tend to mature. It might have something to do with all the other kids they have to look up to and want to keep up. 

Tanna is such a good eater. She loves the Plum and wants to eat what we are eating. She is still toothless at this point and I am kind of getting worried. I sure hope she has teeth under those gums!

This little love figured out how to crawl backwards right at 8 months. She would get stuck in the most random places. Under the piano, couch, beds, fireplace, kitchen table etc. You wouldn't even know where she was sometimes, until she started squawking for help. Finally on 4/23 she figured out how to go forward and there is no stopping her now. She is into everything! 

With Spring finally here, she has finally been able to spend some time outside and loves it! She loves the change of scenery and the pace. 

Tanna gives me, her momma, the absolute best kisses the entire world. She will also pat us on our back indicating that she is happy and content. It is the best feeling in the world. 

I am so glad that we have this sweet girl in our family. She completes us and brings so much joy and happiness into our home. She also has awesome siblings who love her and adore her. I am grateful for the sweet spirits have been given stewardship over. I pray I do them justice!

This parent thing is hard...but yet so rewarding!
