Our Sweet Six Month Old

At six months old, baby is as sweet as ever and so much fun. She is rolling all over the place and sitting unassisted for seconds at a time. She is just lovely.

Here is baby with bitty at one month old on Christmas Day

Here we are at the beach with a dear friend. This was the baby's first time at the beach and mine since last summer. Along with little white dresses, I also love red, white, and blue outfits for the babe. Doesn't she look sweet in her stars and stripes? Daddy was unable to join us this first time at the beach so we captured a little video for him.

This was just a picture for fun. In reality she was in a baby tent under a cabana.

I love this one

Friends, Family, and Flowers

I love gardens and am greatly looking forward to having one of my own (larger than those potted plants on the balcony). We are blessed to have a beautiful large public garden close enough to our house for a sweet day trip.

This is a new friend from church who is also a fellow navy wife. Baby and I had a wonderful day celebrating her birthday with her.

Her husband proposed to her in a similar Japaneses garden.

Silly happy baby sticking out her tongue with dear friend. Baby is so happy but...

then smiles quickly turned to tears as she got pricked by a rose thorn. Poor sweet babe

She even drew blood! So sorry baby

Of all the pretty butterflies we saw, the ugliest one landed on me.

Strangely beautiful

What's more fashionable than wearing a baby?

Friends

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a flying baby

"I don't think I like this"

I thought these rose trees were beautiful and of course the little baby too.

I love this little girl.

Baby and the Bridge

Do you remember the impromptu Easter photo shoot? A few weeks ago, the beauty of spring was getting to me. So after church, I asked my friend to take a few pics of us on a nearby bridge. Thank you, AK!

Sweet baby girl

I love them

Here I think baby looks like a rabbit

A Day at the Gardens

This past week marked our official start of summer as we ventured to Busch Gardens for the first time this year. It was baby's first time to the park outside of the womb. I really love going there because it is both a beautiful and fun park. Thankfully for us, it is also very reasonably priced for residents of VA. (The VA fun pass, which includes unlimited admission through July, is less than 60 dollars per person. Baby is free until 3.)

Our family of three

Although apprehensive about how the day would go with baby, we all had a wonderful time together. The park boasts many children's rides, but we only found two rides that infants could enjoy. N and I were also able to enjoy the adult rides by doing a parent swap. One of us would wait in line and go on the ride while the other waited at the exit with the baby, and then we exchanged the baby for the other one of us to go on the ride without having to wait in line all over again. I love roller coasters with big drops but do poorly with roller coasters that do upside down loops or any rides in general that go around and around quickly. The Griffon is amazing! How silly that I love the 205ft 90 degree drop but got dizzy on the infant approved carousel.

I love the face the baby made while we were on the carousel.
