ThAnKsGiViNg PoinT

 This year we are again going to the $2.00 Tuesdays at Thanksgiving Point. The first Tuesday we went to the Farm Country. The first time with the 2 kids :) Parker loves to go there, and he loves to feed the animals, see the animals and ride the horses. Joely, didn't seem to care on way or the other, but she wasn't fussy, just seemed to be taking it all in.

Waiting to ride the pony- What a goof!

Sweet baby girl!

 So excited to ride the horse! It was the biggest one there!

 Feeding the goats

 Just a funny/ cute picture

MoBiLe?

Joely has become quite the pro at sitting, she is able to be quite mobile while sitting, and I think she is THIS close to crawling, she has taken some crawling steps, but then stops.

Finally posting :) We blessed Joely on July 11th at our ward building. We were able to have friends and family come and Joe was able to bless her. She was blessed to be healthy, to learn and to grow. It was a short blessing, but she did start to cry, so that might have shortened it :) Here is our little girl

6 MoNtSh

So, last week we had Joely's 6 month checkup- SeRiOuSly, where did the last 5 months go?! She is such a wonderful part of our family, and we just love her to pieces. At 6 months she...

*Rolls both directions

*Loves Rice cereal, Oatmeal cereal, sweet potatoes, plums and carrots (those are all I have given her so far :)

*Loves her brother Parker

*Sits pretty good by herself

*Loves to jump and bounce, but still can stand with help

*Very good at holding her head up, getting ready to crawl, doesn't get on knees yet, but can push herself backwards, or scoot around on her back

*Pivots herself around to get what she wants

*Uses both hands very well, including transferring back and forth.

*Is the cutest little girl anyone could hope for :)

*Is a TOTAL momma's girl, literally, she does smile for Parker and she does love him, she sometimes will kinda smile at daddy, and sometimes at other people, usually if I am holding her, as of yet, she is not big on other people holding her, so I feel bad for other people, but glad for me because I certainly love her to pieces.

 Joe says that Joely is a mini me- She sleeps in weird positions, and I do too :)

Here are her stats~

Weight- 14.770 lbs, 22.39 percentile

Length- 25.75" 46.06 percentile

Head-16.5"- 30.82 percentile

We sure love you baby girl!

Wow, so much going on, so little time to blog (apparently :) Anyway, on some updates, Parker is doing {FaNtAsTiC} with the potty, amazing! Joely can roll over from her back to her tummy, then she is stuck, and not happy.  I will be grateful when she figures out how to roll the other direction :) I gave her rice cereal for the first time yesterday and she LOVED it! She is such a happy girl and we love having her in our family! Joe went and just got back from Australia. He went for work and had a good time and everything thankfully went smoothly. Me, I had to get a root canal, while Joe was gone. Awesome... crazy painful and Loratab and I do not go so well together, so I was able to lose about 9 pounds while Joe was gone :) Not the healthiest way to lose weight... The kids and I along with my mom and sister were able to go to the Strawberry Days parade, we had a lot of fun!
