Love is in the Air

Let me pick up where I left you last.. Christmas has just ended and we celebrated New Years. Everyone had gone home and we were getting back to our normal every day routines. Chrisily turned 6 months old on January 4th. What a milestone! I can't believe it has been half a year alredy! On January 7th (a Saturday), she decided to begin crawling. I use the term crawling loosely. She began to scoot with her legs and pull with her arms to be mobile. Paired with rolling- she is moving around a good bit! We were in shock when she just started pushing herself across the floor to a toy. *tear* My little girl is not so little anymore (I know, I know.. She really is still little, but still!!!). At her 6 mo. appoinment she had to get some more of those nasty shots but we learned that she was 17.4 lbs and 27.25 inches long!! She has grown so much.

We had my friend Melissa (http://www.melissalynnhuntphotography.com ) take some 6 month pics.. She did a fabulous job as always and we have some great pictures as a result. Here are a few..

Isn't she just precious?? I love all of her little faces/smirks. She has such a fun personality and is truly and happy baby. The rest of January was pretty uneventful.
Luke and Meagan were able to get away from work for a few days to come and visit us in February. They arrived on Friday, Feb. 3rd and left on Monday, Feb. 6th. We had a really good visit with them. It was nice to just be able to hang out and catch up since the last two times we saw them there was a lot of craziness surrounding the Townsend weddings. Chrisily was also big enough that they were able to play with her and just get to know her a little better. Family is very important so it warmed our hearts to see her with her Uncle Luke and Aunt Mae Mae. Chrisily turned 7 months old while they were visiting and her first tooth broke through! What a day!! It was superbowl weekend so we had a very lazy day on Sunday but it was perfect! Here are a few pictures from their visit..

Once Luke and Meagan left it was back to the grind for Jacob. Tax season is heating up and he is working long hours again. I just keep telling myself, it will end.. it will end.. it will end. :-)
On Feb 11th, Chrisily's 2nd tooth broke through. Two in one week! We also had a low key celebration for Valentine's day. Life will probably be pretty calm and quiet for Chrisily and I while Jacob is working so much. Don't worry- I plan to make up for it once he gets done!! These are the last pictures I will post for today..

Lots of Love,
