6m20d-More Firsts!

Snuggling with with Daddy!
After snuggle time with Daddy, he put Nevaeh in the playpen, standing up!  She's probably thinking..."Hmmmm what do I do now!"

Another first.....today Nevaeh started mimicking  her Great Grandma Richards.  Grandma coughed, and Nevaeh pretended to cough and then giggled.  This happened over and over....wish we would have caught it on tape!  Tooooo cute!

6m19d-LOVE THIS SMILE!

Dear Nevaeh,
As I am typing this, you are asleep in the crib at our house.  Mommy and Daddy are out on a date and this Grandma and Grandpa are finally enjoying alone time with you!  I love, love, love this time of my life with you and your Mommy!  Actually I am enjoying this time with both of my adult girls now.  One day your Mommy will understand when she watches you turn into a young lady!  It makes me smile to see both your Mommy and Aunt Caitlin fulfill their dreams with careers and family!  Life passes us by way tooooo quickly.....I plan on slowing down and soaking it all up this time around as a Grandma!
Love, Grandma Dason

6 1/2 MONTHS- GIGGLES!

The kids are home!  This grandma is in HEAVEN!  Below is a video of Nevaeh caught laughing at a dog.  Pretty sad that we can't make her laugh, but put a dog in the picture and she lights up!

6m13d-SICK BABY

Nevaeh is sick  :-(  Projectile vomited in Walmart!  Not a pretty site!  No fever,  but definitely sick to her stomach!  Poor thing has been more than cranky!   Hope it is not related to the Similac formula recall.  The numbers on the cans do not fit the recall list.......Poor baby!

6m12d-HOME!

GUESS WHO IS MOVING BACK HOME???? Yep, the kids are moving back this weekend.  I've known it for about a month or so, but have been cautious to say it out loud for fear it wouldn't come true.....but this Friday, we are driving down to help them drive back with a moving truck!!!! I am soooo excited.  Now we get to be hands-on grandparents.....something that my heart has yearned for!  I loved, loved, loved my little baby days 22 two years ago and now I get to relive them again through the eyes (and hands) of a grandma!  YAY!!!!!

6m10d-SOME MORE FIRSTS!

Nevaeh has had many firsts this weekend.  Mommy and Daddy took her to the fair and she fed her first animal (a deer).....wish I could have read her mind.....at least she didn't cry!  I tried to upload a video but was unsuccessful, AGAIN....shoot!

Another first.....Nevaeh was visiting with great grandma and grandpa in Kentucky.  She was playing on the floor, rolled over on her belly and started saying Dada.....she army crawled all the way around the coffee table....first running into great grandma, looked up at her and smiled....went on her merry way (army crawling) until she found her Daddy.....she said Dada over and over until he picked her up and she was content to sit on his lap for awhile!

At her 6 month check up, the doctor asked how she was doing.  When Mommy commented on her beginning stages of crawling he commented that she was advanced in her skills.....YAY Nevaeh!  He also looked in her mouth.  He saw white tooth sockets but nothing popping through yet.  So far, she is doing really well with the teething stages....still pretty content.....even after her 6 month shots!  She is such a happy baby!

6m9d-LAUGHING OUT LOUD!

In the past I've posted that Nevaeh laughs out loud in her sleep and how hard it is to get her to laugh.  When we tickle her she tends to hold her breath rather than giggle.  Well today was a different story....a furry puppy ran up to Nevaeh as she was sitting on the floor and Nevaeh laughed and giggled over and over while playing with the puppy!  Wish we would have caught this moment on tape, but we didn't....maybe next time!

6m1d-GRADUATION!

Before!

All dressed and ready to go to graduation!  Look Mommy I have shoes that fit!

After!

6 MONTHS OLD!

Dear Nevaeh,

You are now 6 months old!  Hard to believe!!!  You weigh 18.6 lbs. and measure 25 inches long.  You are getting longer but your weight is holding steady.  You are even losing your baby fat rolls.  Now you only have one fat roll on your legs vs. two fat rolls!  Your feet are a different story.....they are short and plump.  You wear a size 2 shoe....that is, if we can find shoes to fit (Hence the reason you are barefoot in most pictures!).  You are now officially in a size 3 diaper and 3-6 or 6 months clothes.  This past month, you started teething, but no teeth yet.  You will let me rub your gums....it is actually very cute....once my finger passes your lips, you open wide in a frozen state....if I could read your mind, I bet you are saying "Ahhhh that feels sooooo good! If I move, she might stop!"  You actually don't mind Mommy or me picking at your face.  You will sit still while Mommy cleans your ears with a q-tip.  You also will sit still while I pick at your crusty nose after the cold you just had.....but you did draw the line with the wet q-tip up your nose and the use of the snot sucker!  Two weeks ago your first words were Dada and recently you said Mama!  Just as you turned 6 months old, you decided it was time to learn to crawl.  You do a half crawl by pulling with one arm and pushing with all your might by your toes....once in a while you even get into the crawling position on your knees.  You are definitely on the move!

Here's a video of your first attempt at crawling, caught on tape!

5m28d-FIRST NO

Little Miss Nevaeh heard her first NO.....Mommy had her sitting on the coffee table in the bumbo seat, Mommy on the couch....feeding her lunch....the candles (not lit) on the coffee table caught Nevaeh's attention....she kept turning and grabbing and trying to pick up the candles....Mommy had her first "harsh" words with Nevaeh.......Nevaeh just gave Mommy "the look"....with squinty eyes!  ......Her personality is starting to show!


On a different note....notice the thumb in the mouth.  Nevaeh sucks (chews) on her thumb as much as she does the pacifier.

5m28d-HAIR HAPPENINGS

Hair, minus the ponytail wrap and bow.....such long hair for almost 6 mos. old.  Just like her Mommy.....Mommy had hair long enough to put in rollers by the time she was 9 months old.  I think Nevaeh is taking after her!

5m27d- MORE FIRSTS!

This little cutie has her first full blown cold.  Runny nose, coughing, sneezing and all! :-(  She HATES the snot sucker up her nose, but who wouldn't!!!  Another first.....she said Mama!  Not sure if she knows that the words Mama and Dada are her parents......but ohhhh soooo cute when she says them! She is also on her 3rd video (Your Baby Can Read)....she still watched intently, and "sings" along to the songs.  (Did you notice the cute ponytail that Mommy (yes you heard me right, Mommy) put in?  Her hair is sooooo long on top!)

5m24d-CRAZY HAIR!

"I just washed my hair and can't do a thing with it!"  :-)

Nevaeh grabbed the spoon twice while Mommy was feeding her today.  She grabbed it and helped guide it into her mouth!  Such a big girl!
