7 Months

I am so behind in blogging so starting with Maleaha turning 7 months old is absolutely crazy to me. She is getting so fun to just watch her learn new things some of the new stuff she has accomplished this month are, She can pick food up with her fingers and actually get the food in her mouth, she gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth, she can pull herself up on her knees in her crib and holding on to the couch. She still has only two teeth but I think just maybe more are on their way. She is so happy all the time and is starting to try and clap when she gets excited or when I start singing pat a cake to her! Obviously she loves eating, and she isn't picky at all about foods which I am so happy about I hope it stays that way because I am about as picky as they get! She loves anything with Mangos in it and Applesauche There is your update on Miss Maleaha, and here she is with her bear!

6 months

Maleaha is half of a year already! I always say it but time is flying. I get so sad when I have to start putting away clothes because she is growing out of them. I want her to be tiny forever! But she is doing so many fun things now. She loves to be on her tummy scooting in circles on the floor. She gets her bum up in the air and has scooted backwards but that's as close as she has gotten to crawling, but that is ok with me! She has gotten her first tooth as well on the bottom. It is getting pretty big and is super sharp! She is usually pretty happy and loves to jump in her jumper. She is starting to use sounds in her babbaling she is stuck on D which makes it seem like she is saying Da Da all the time which I like to pretend she knows what she is saying. She is getting so big and to prove it here are her results from her doctors visit.

Weight: 21lbs. 2oz. 99%
Length: 28in. 98%
Head: 42cm 33%
I LOVE this little girl!

5 Months

Maleaha at 5 months She is getting way too big way too fast!

She was sick when I took the picture and wasn't very happy, so this was the best one we got. I love this girl to pieces. She is so funny and is always amazing me! I can't wait to see who she becomes! She is such a special girl!

Maleaha's Special Day!

On July 24th Maleaha had her special day. Maleaha was blessed by my Dad on Sunday and it was such a great day. Also in the circle was her Grandpa Mora, Uncle Ryan and Bishop Anderson. I was so happy that we finally got her blessed and that my whole family could be here for her special day. Jared was a little bummed that he wasn't able to participate because he never went to church when he was younger and never got the priesthood. We have been talking about starting to go back to church more and have finally been to our ward that we were supposed to be in for 2 years!

Solids

Maleaha has had her first shot at solids this week! She seems to get better each day with eating it! I usually give her the rice cereal in the morning and at night? I am not sure how often I should or shouldn't be doing cereal, so moms out there with any advice let me know! I am so excited to start giving her vegies and fruits to see what she likes and doesn't like! I have tried some apple juice she is still getting used to that too! I keep telling myself that I want to make her baby food because everyone says it is so easy and so much cheaper so hopefully before next week I can figure out how to do it and try it out! Here are some pictures of her first shot at solid food! And of course her first time eating I forgot the bib. Oh well she was still in her jammies!

4th of July

So here in Logan they never do the actuall fireworks on the 4th of July, I think its always the Friday before the fourth anyways so on Friday the 1st we went to Logans Freedom of Fire Celebration at the Stadium. It was supposed to be alot better this year, then years past so we decided we would go inside and see. My Mom got us researved seating which was nice because we didn't show up until almost 8 and still had a seat and we weren't staring into the sun all night. I was nervous of how Maleaha would be because she had just got all her shots that morning and I was hoping she wouldn't be too onry. All in all she did pretty good she slept through alot of it probably due to the medicine but I couldn't have asked for a better baby. She slept through the band and entertainment and then woke up just in time for the fireworks. I thought she was going to scream and be scared but she didn't mind them one bit. She just sat on my lap and watched the whole time. The fireworks were awesome and of course when I got my camera out to take some pictures it was dead so I don't have anything from that night but it was fun to be with family and watch some fireworks!

So on the 4th Jared and my Dad had an early morning tee time so my Mom, Maleaha, Tasia, Daion and I went out to Leweston to watch the parade. It was fun to take Maleaha who knows if she even really paid attention but I love seeing the big horses and don't mind getting a few tootsie rolls either! After going to the parade I met Jared back at home and then met up with his family at the mall and did some shopping then went back to his sisters for some food! Then after we went up to my parents and had some more food and played games. We were party poopers and didn't go out to Leweston for the fireworks, Jared had to work in the morning and I was so tired that we just went home and listened to everyone else light fireworks until 1130 and then finally got some sleep! It was fun to celebrate the 4th with both families! Here are some pictures of us at the parade!
