6 Months

Hailey is now a half a year old! Wow, 6 months has flown by. We have so much to be thankful for in having a happy and healthy baby girl. She has been so much fun watching grow and all the things she is starting to do as well. She is now getting up on all fours and pushing off just a little. She hasn't figured out how to move those arms at the same time she is moving her legs. She starts to inch forward and just falls over because her arms go behind her. Sometimes it looks like she is trying to do a push up! She is doing really well at sitting up too. She still topples over sometimes, but for the most part, she is sitting up by herself. We are so excited for Christmas to come because we know that it is going to be such a joyous time. She already wants to open up the presents that I have wrapped!! Anytime we give her wrapping paper or tissue paper, she goes nuts over it and starts throwing her arms around. The Christmas is going to be the best yet :)

6 Months

My first sip

Well she hasn't mastered the art of it yet, but HB had her first sip our of sippy cup today. She has been so interested in our glasses, and we have let her have a few sips of water or juice out of it (they said babies can actually start this as early as 4 months!) and she wanted to keep going and going. She would actually get mad if you took it away, haha. So today, I decided to get out the sippy cup we got as a present and filled it up with a little of her juice. I handed it to her and she immediately started drinking it. She of course had to figure out that it was a little different than a bottle, but she loved it.. esp because of the handles. I got some cute and funny pics of it. She couldn't quite figure out the turning it up part, so she kept tilting her whole head back and it was making us laugh. I just can't believe all the things that she is getting into now!

Rockettes

It is a little delayed, but I am finally getting up pics from the Rockettes. It was AWESOME!!! We had no idea at how great of detail there was going to be. There outfits were so pretty and they stayed in a perfect line. It was an eye popping show from the start to finish... and speaking of a finish, IT WAS SURPRISING AND GREAT! We couldn't believe it when the lights dimmed and then they started sharing the story of Christ. They had a live nativity scene complete with Camels. I COULD NOT believe it. They actually had two of them, and other animals as well. It was one of the most beautiful things that I have seen at a show. The colors were brilliant and the story was told in a unique way. They pulled down a huge screen that looked like a scroll and had a description of Christ scroll up it as the announcer read it off. I would go back again and again!

Me and Santa

Well Santa decide to stop by the Floyd house early this year! We felt extra special because Santa made a house call for us... Dad's friend dresses up as Santa, and has the pretty suit that the ones at Macy's use. He came out for free to make pics with HB. She wasn't in her happiest mood, so she didnt smile a lot, but she did takes some really cute pics. I think if she would have gotten her full nap in she would have done better, but there are no complaints here! We also got some family pics and some individual ones of her. We had a great photographer (GG) and instead of paying a lot of money, we got some good laughs and great family time. Hope you enjoy!!

Christmas Pictures

This look right to you Mom?

It's finally my favorite time of year.. Christmas. You can't help but have a smile on your face when you walk into a decorated house, or turn on the radio and listen to the music, or see the presents under the tree that you know will be a big surprise! It is all just so exciting and fun. One of my favorite parts of Christmas is all the decor and lights. I must admit I go a little crazy with it, but it just makes the holidays that much better. I have realized just how hard it is to decorate when you have a 6 month old at home. So instead of trying to rush things, I sat her down and let her play as much as she wanted to with all the pretty lights. She loves to sit there and stare at them. I got some of my garland and wrapped it around her. She must be a mommys girl because she was all smiles. I got some great pics of her. I cant wait for Christmas this year because I know that it is going to be SO MUCH fun. One of dads friends is playing Santa this year and is so generously coming to our house for pics. I am so excited and think that it is going to be a fun experience. I cant wait to see how Hailey reacts.. I have a feeling it is going to be really funny :)

(i also added the pics of HB with the pickle on Thanksgiving!)
