Reindeer Cheer + A Free File

Well early this morning I took out the last two Studio Calico kits plus the add-ons I bought.  Threw them all in a pile and started scrapping.

I am still loving the 8x12 size.  I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot of them ;)

Parker at 6 Months


_MG_7972


Well Parker has survived MOMMIES first 6 months LOL.  I know I say this every month, but she is SO BIG.  Our Pediatrician rocks and is always so happy to see how big she is.  Currently weighing in at 19lb 11oz and 28" long.  Super baby!



_MG_7910


She is rockin the solid foods.  So much so that we are tasting food off mommy and daddy's plate during meals.  She has such a good time playing with her food among other things.  



_MG_7872


She hates being on her tummy, so she does what I call half-ass crawl.  She sits up very well!  She is starting to pull herself up on things here and there.  Her favorite game is to throw things and watch mommy pick them up.  Over and over.... hilarious.



_MG_7932


She is always on the move when left to her own devices.  Curious little girl.  I can't wait for Christmas!  It's going to be so much fun.  And as always here is her 5 month baby book layout.  Made using American Crafts Dear Lizzy.

Parker at 5 Months

yes, 5 people.  We are like.........almost 6.  CRAZY TALK. 



Parker at 5 months 073


she is still growing at a rapid pace.  18lbs and we figure roughly 26" or so.  We didn't measure.  



Parker at 5 months 132


She has two teeth, started solids..pears are her fav!  She is also rolling around like crazy.  If she stayed on her belly long enough she would be crawling.  Maybe next month.
