8 months!

Maelie is 8 months old today! We had a pretty chill day, but I did put her in a cute hand-me-down outfit from my sister Melissa and then did a photo shoot of her. Here are the results...


 Oh, yeah. Hannah HAD to try on the outfit first.

Backwards. She cray cray. :) 

 Yes, the outfit turned into knickers on my big girl.

 



 Those cheeks are absolutely delicious. 



 Now some pics with the hat off.





 Gotta love my fuzzy-headed baby!

Beautiful eyelashes! 

Bedtime 







We absolutely love Maelie! She is getting so big and acting so old and staying so cute! She's still a mover and a shaker. Maelie rolls, pivots, reaches, scoots backward, occasionally scoots forward, tries to pull herself up on things, and is starting to get up on her hands and knees. I'm sure she will be crawling soon. Maelie continues to adore her sister and laughs at her throughout the day. She is usually quite happy these days, but she gets sad when we leave her sight. Maelie loves music and dancing and seems to stay on beat like Hannah did as a baby. She also loves books, rattles, stuffed animals, and balls, as well as grabbing tags, straps, and my hair. Ouch! Maelie is now eating solids 3 times a day and nursing 4 times a day. She will eat pretty much anything if she isn't too tired. We think Maelie might finally be teething because she hasn't been sleeping through the night as well. One of her clogged tear ducts finally cleared up, but we're still waiting on the other. Maelie already has quite the sense of humor and finds random things so funny. Today she started gut laughing when she got the hiccups. Silly cutie.

Happy 8 months to our sweet little Maelie poo! :)

Hannah's 1st curlers

Last night we bought Hannah the hair curlers she has been asking for ever since she saw her cousin Katelyn use them last month. And so of course we had to try them out last night as well. I'm sure I could improve my curler-placement skills, but I'm also sure that Hannah looked super cute...

Before...

Gorgeous girl with gorgeous lashes!



After...

 Those lashes with those curls are just too cute!



Eat your heart out, Shirley Temple! :)

Maelie's 1st haircut

I have a ton of catching up to do on this blog, so I guess I'll get started with a simple post. We gave Maelie her first haircut last week. Enjoy the pics!

 Love the scowl!

 What a silly, fuzzy-haired blondie!




Maelie sure is looking grown up! And adorable!!!
