RJL is 7 months!


Wow! How quickly 7 months has gone by. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was running in and out of Destination Maternity preparing for our little girl to come. Now we are sitting up, babbling, and eating solids! Time is precious. It does seem that in the last 2 months Reilly Jane has reached several milestones. She started sitting up to play @ 6 months. She is now eating a large diet of 5-6 foods! She is developing her own little personality and her own routine. Our day from 5pm until 8pm is the same each night...feed RJL sweet potatoes and peas, race to bath time, change into PJ's, somehow cook and eat dinner for ourselves, then off to bed by 8pm. She is a very content baby and does not cry often. She loves to cuddle in the morning and wrap her little arms around my neck...my heart melts! She is just a constant reminder of God's perfect grace and love. It is funny how such little hands and feet can change every area of your life...your sleep...your grocery shopping...your personal time...gym??(not sure where it is anymore!) Yet, I would not want any of it back for my precious little girl.
October is a busy month for us. Frank turned 27 on Oct. 2nd, our 2 year anniversary is Oct. 7, and my 29th birthday is on the 11th! We like to celebrate big for the month. My dad used to tell me that my birthday was the whole month of October, but I guess I have to share now. We both realized that we have not gone out to dinner for 7 months, so it is way overdue. When you have a little one, a night out on the town for dinner sounds glorious! I am hoping for a steak, great glass of wine, and ice cream to top it all off!
