Maël is SEVEN months old!






So I know it's a lot of photos but can you blame me? She is too cute. 

Maël's favorites: using her feet to push her self backwards when she is lying on her back, playing with her pop- up -door toy, giggling at Mabin, popsicles, watermelon, grabbing onto faces and sucking on noses, snuggling, reading books, dancing, Mabin's sippy cups and yogurt bites and fruit puffs. 

Does Not Like: rolling, she has rolled over maybe twice and refuses to do it again and tummy time.  


And because my cute boy refuses to be left out of any photo opportunity, here he is enjoying some olives.

Maël is SIX months old!





Maël's favorites: putting binkie in and out of mouth; not being swaddled anymore (it was such an easy transition, thank heavens!); eating oatmeal and rice cereal, carrots, green beans and bananas; smiling and interacting with other people, playing in water, going jogging with Momma and Mabes, bike rides in the bike trailer, popsicles, swinging in the swing at play group, visiting some of her Lucas and Waite cousins, and the most exciting- sitting up all on her own!
Does Not Like: being Ferberized (I hate the cry-it-out method but I also need my babies to sleep through the night. We never sleep trained Mabin and he still wakes up 2-3 times a night. It is not fun. It only took one long and painful night of having Maël sooth herself back to sleep before she slept through the night. But then we went on a 3 week vacation and so now we are back to sleep training again).
