Rhett is 7 months!

Rhett is 7 months old!  7 months is always a tough one for me because it means he's now closer to a 1 year old than a newborn.  I do love this age so much though so I'm just planning to enjoy this big, growing baby boy of ours!  


Rhett experienced some big milestones this month!  He now has 2 bottom teeth and they are cute as can be.  He also learned to sit on his own, which opens up a whole new world for him.  He still topples over sometimes, but he's getting better every day.  Rhett had his first couple of dips in the pool this month.  The first time was at Mumsie and Popsie's house and he wasn't a fan, but then I took the kids to our neighborhood pool this week (which by the way, taking 3 kids to the pool alone is no joke), and he liked it for the most part!  Rhett still enjoys going for rides, whether it be car rides, stroller rides, or rides in the Ergo Carrier.  He's happy when he's moving!  He's definitely experiencing some major separation anxiety.   As in, I usually can't walk across the room without him getting his feelings very hurt. :)   One of my favorite things is when he is happy in the jumper or on the floor and he sees me and smiles at me from across the room.  It melts my heart!  He is slowly getting more comfortable around people that are not in his immediate family, but it has been a slow process.  


Rhett is still napping three times a day and does pretty well going down for his naps.  I try to make sure we are home for his naps as much as possible, but it's not always easy.  He had a couple of better night sleeps this month, but most nights he wakes up 2-3 times.  He is eating baby food at dinner, but usually doesn't want to eat very much.  He hasn't been all that impressed with food, which is hard to believe by looking at him. ;)


We sure do love this brown eyed boy!!!  Happy seven months, Rhett Michael!

Georgia Kate's First Dance Recital

Georgia Kate had her very first dance recital yesterday and it was just as adorable as I had always imagined it would be!  They did a ballet dance to Good Ship Lollipop, which was perfect for our own little Shirley Temple! ;)

Friday night was dress rehearsal and group picture night.  Trying to get a group of 2 year olds to pose the same way at the same time is not an easy task!  

This is pretty much sums up how Georgia Kate felt about dress rehearsal.  

Saturday afternoon was the big day!  I made Chris take pictures of me helping Georgia get ready.  I told him it was a big deal, which it was!




I just love this picture of Daddy and his mini!


We had a little photo shoot before we left the house...






Our ballerina and her fan club...



I volunteered to stay in the holding room with our group.  It was completely chaotic, but we made the best of it!  My teaching skills were a little rusty. ;)

Almost time to dance!

Someone was getting impatient.

After our dance we changed clothes until we could go see everyone at intermission.  I thought she looked precious!  My mom bought this sweet little dress long before I was even pregnant with Reid.  It's so sweet! 

Daddy brought his girl flowers and lollipops (because she did a lollipop dance, of course)!

The girls did such a great job and stole the show!  Georgia Kate actually did most of the dance and I was so proud of her.  It was such a special and memorable day!

Rhett can sit up!

I think it's safe to say that Rhett can sit up now!  He's been sitting for a couple of seconds at a time for a few days, but tonight he was able to sit for about 30 seconds!  I love the stage of sitting, but not yet crawling. :)



These are just a few sweet pictures I took of him the other day...



If you look closely, you can see two bottom teeth! 


 We love this sweet boy so much!!!
