We have a scooter....

It is November 10th. Raelinn is 7 months and 10 days old, and just scooted across  our living room floor. I know she has been getting around for about the past month, but this is the first time she went from one end to the other to get a toy and didn't stop to roll around and play. I am so heart broken...and proud. Very proud. We are SO blessed to have this beautiful baby in our home. She has such a sweet spirit and her personality is shining through more and more every day!! 

 

Halloween candy galore

With Halloween here we let Raelinn "eat" (really taste) candy! Hahaha she made such a mess with the sucker, and she only had it for about 40 seconds! She LOVED the tootsie rolls! We would just let her suck on one for a minute, but it was so cute!! I just love her so much :)

 

Our 1st annual church Halloween party

Raelinn trying on Tj's Fred Flinstone wig! We had to facetime with Trisha and Tommy so they could see how funny she looked!!! It was hilarious! She was just staring at us like we were crazy....but we were laughing so so so hard. :)

About two months ago I was called to be the 2nd counselor in the primary presidency at church. I really love my calling. The 3 of us girls planned an awesome Halloween party and invited the community. We had everybody bring a pot of chili and cupcakes for the cupcake walk. Jess and I had planned to dress up and decided to order Flinstone costumes for all of us!! :) Tj was not too pleased about it, but further into the night I think he started to like his costume! (Ha! I wish!) I made the baby a pebbles tutu and had Aunt Carrie make a bone to make into a headband. She looked so darn cute!! In only a couple days my baby will be 7 months old :( it breaks my heart. But I must say, these past 7 months have been amazing. She has brought Tj and I closer than I ever thought we could be, and has made our hearts grow 10 times bigger!! Halloween is only a couple days away! I can't wait to dress her up and take her to a few houses. (Family members...I think it would be weird to take her trick-or-treating when she can't even eat candy!) :) 

6 month check up

14lbs 3oz & 24 3/4"

Raelinn is healthy as can be. Still in like the 5th percentile for weight and height, but doctor says she is just a petite little thing and to not worry. She has 2 teeth she got the week of September 11th and is starting to sit up on her own! (Finally!) 

Seahawks!!!!

Dad, Bretton, me and the baby drove down to Arizona to watch the Sea vs Cardinals Thursday night, prime time game. I seriously LOVE football. It was soooo much fun!! Such an exhausting trip driving down Thursday and coming home Friday, but it was totally worth it! Rae did awesome! She fussed a few times when the stadium would get really loud, but I'd clap and tell her "yay!!" and she would realize it was fun, not scary :) She fell asleep nearly the whole third quarter. We were surrounded by a bunch of Seahawks fans and of course would all high five during a good drive or touchdown, but when Raelinn was sleeping everyone would "air high five" me and make sure not to scream right at us. 

We stayed at Tony and Emily's house, stopped at Tyrel and Katies, then when we got to Vegas stopped at Tawni and Nick's house and met baby Ayla, and Trent and JaKell came over to visit also!! I love our big family.
