I have two teeth!!

Sevyn officially has two teeth!! We were a bit crabby today, after some tylenol, a nap and lots of drool, I found the culprit!

Two bottom teeth and a third on the way at the top.

Hanging out with Family!!

We had a great time visiting with Jim's brother and sister-in-law last weekend. They came up from Houston for a weekend getaway.

Micah is two weeks older than Sevyn, but they completely different in size. Here they are hanging out in Sevyn's crib. It was a long, late night (11pm at this point) and they were troopers!! Still in good moods after a long day at the water park.

At Steak and Shake, Sevyn enjoyed being held by her Uncle Jerry.

Sevyn loves to rub Jim's skin when it is a little scruffy . . . a much different texture than her own.

Hanging out at the water park. We had lots of people there including, Jim, Tiffany and Sevyn, Jerry, Melissa, Will and Micah, and my sister Shelly and her two kids Brady and Emily.

We got there first thing when the park opened so there were VERY few people at the kids play area. It was really nice because the park wasn't that busy, we had shade to sit under and it was fun to share time with family.

Sevyn's New Trick

Jim and I had a friendly bet. I predicted that by the time Sevyn turns 8 months she will be pulling up and standing in her bed. Jim thought that was lofty. Well, Sevyn is 7 months, 7 days old and well . . . .

Circus

Last night we went to the circus, and it was so much fun. I was really excited about taking Sevyn to her first circus, as it was a place that my family went to nearly every year growing up.

Sevyn didn't take an afternoon nap so she tried to catch some zzz's on our way to "overstimulation central!"

We spent a little bit of time on the floor before the show started. Sevyn was mesmerized by all the people on the floor including the performers!

Dad stopped to take a quick pic with her on the podium. Afterall, all kids want to grow to be on the podium as the ring master right?

Sevyn is pretty use to people dressing up in costume and looking weird, so this clown didn't phase her.

Watching the elephant paint on the sheet of paper.

Open of the show, if you look close you can see the elephants. Sevyn really liked those!

This is just a funny picture. No she doesn't think it is too loud, this is Sevyn's "tired" signal, and at this point it was about 8:15 and close to her bed time.

Intermission with mom.

About two acts left in the show, Sevyn finally succumbed to the "overstimulation" and late hour and passed out in her dad's arms! Whew, long day but lots of fun!

Playing Around!

Sevyn has a lot of fun in her Exersaucer, she just started doing this:

6 Month Check-Up

I am happy to say that Sevyn had her 6 month check up and she is perfect! Of course Jim and I already knew that but for a doctor to confirm it makes it so much more fun to hear.

She is 15.0 pounds and in the 25th percentile (hasn't changed from last time.)

She is 26.5 inches long and in the 75th percentile (hasn't changed from last time.)

Her head circumference is 16, and in the 25th percentile (which is up from 10th percentile last time.)

She is rolling over, sitting up, and starting to army crawl, which is a lot of fun to watch! She loves to eat prunes, bananas, carrots and sweet potatoes. Last night she tried a butter squash and corn combination and she really loved that too!

She loves to be outside, especially when we go on walks. She enjoys swimming too, whether it be in a big pool or in her little splish splash pool.

Overall, our little girl is healthy, active and has a really loud voice. (We know that to be true since they kick her out of nursery pretty often for being too loud when other babies are sleeping! Ha, who would have thought our little girl would be loud?)

Sevyn's 6 Month Photo Shoot!

We did our 6 Month Photo Shoot on Friday. Sevyn did GREAT!! She really has a ton of personality and it really came out in our photo shoot. She even smiles when encouraged too, which made this photo shoot really easy!

These pictures are of Sevyn in her princess dress, which was given to her by her Aunt Janice. It is definitely one of the pretties dresses we have ever seen, and certainly own. Sevyn looks like such a doll in it! We just had to do photos of her in this dress before she grows out of it.

We also decided to do new family photos and since the Mavericks will be in season soon then we felt like a family sports photo would be fun.

Sevyn posed with Champ, and I think she really enjoyed playing with his "hair." She has never really been aloud to play with Champ so this was a fun thing for her to do.
