Seven Months!!

Well our computer troubles continue...they are almost solved and I don't want to bore you with all the details. We'll be back in business soon. Even without a computer I couldn't let a month of AB's life go undocumented so here we go! There is a new slide show of pictures of our little peanut at seven months old. She is so much fun!!! Lots of smiles and laughs which warm Mommy and Daddy's hearts. She has begun reaching for people to be held which is so sweet. She is also doing some pretty mean commando crawling! Uncle Scotty you would be so proud! I'm going to try to upload a video of her in action if I can. This past month has been a whirlwind. We spent a few weekends at the lake, we went to the zoo TWICE and we traveled to South Carolina to visit Grandpa Newman and Yaya. Whew! The first time we went to the zoo was for Nick's company's family day. We had fun. It was a really hot day and AB got tired fast. She fell fast asleep in her stroller but not before touching a snake with daddy (Aunty Heather don't look.) Our second trip to the zoo was with Nana, Uncle Sean and Kailyn. This was a very fun day. It was cloudy and not as hot which was absolutely perfect. We got to see so many animals and Annabelle and Kailyn loved watching. It was one of those summer memories I will never forget. It really was a perfect zoo day! At the very end of July we drove down to SC to visit. We decided to drive through the night so AB could sleep. We had no expectations for the trip but even if I had...AB would have blown them out of the park. She was amazing! She slept the WHOLE TIME. I couldn't believe it. She was absolutely perfect on the way there and on the way back! The trip was really great but too fast. We got to visit with Grandpa, Yaya and Uncle Jason a lot. We even got to see some great friends who hadn't yet met AB Marie. I was glad we got to visit with so many friends. We would have been able to visit with some more friends but I came down with a stomach bug and spent a whole day in bed, missing our lunch date with some of my friends from school. We were disappointed but it won't be the last time we get to visit so we'll get together with them again soon. Since we've been home I've been working on my classroom...which means school is just around the corner. I am not quite ready for my summer with AB to be over. She is everything and more to me. Being a working mom is harder than I ever could have imagined. I'm a little emotional just typing about it. Annabelle will be staying with Miss Connie this year. She is another neighbor with lot of nanny experience. She is very excited to have Annabelle. Annabelle is excited to spend time with their family dog Abby (she lights up whenever she sees Abby!) Well this was quite the read! I don't have any 'official' measurements to update but Nick got on the scale with Annabelle and we think she's over 15lbs! This last pic is of Nick and me at the Reds game Annabelle treated Daddy to for his Father's Day gift. She and Daddy have spent a lot of time watching baseball together. She got him tickets so he could get to the park this year. Nick can't wait to be able to take Annabelle to her first game soon. It was a lot of fun. Thank you Annabelle! Love to all!!!!
