Casidy at 8 months old

My cute, adorable, happy little girl turned 8 months on Jan 10th. She had a rough 7 month because along with her siblings, she was sick quite a bit. This month she mastered her crawling and now gets anywhere she wants to and fast! She started saying "mama" this month and learned how to hold her bottle (finally!!). She continues to be the happiest baby I have ever met and is extremely easy going. Her big sister loves to try to help take care of her which usually results in Aubree carrying Casidy around the house. Casidy has started eating more table food and less baby food. She is an excellent sleeper and is still on 3-4 naps a day! She goes to bed around 6:30pm and wakes up around 8am. She is just an overall great girl!

Casidy at 7 months

Casidy is 8 months old now! She is growing so fast! Her 7 month was a good month for her. She got to experience her first Christmas and first Santa, first New Years, and first School house with the Rounds. She had a great month! This month she started sitting a whole lot better! She can now sit as long as she wants. She finally made it to the big bathtub as well! At the end of this month she finally started really crawling instead of her army crawl.  She hasn't completely mastered the crawl but she can crawl about 4 times before she falls! I am excited to have her crawl. She is a happy happy girl and is rarely sad. This month she got influenza A and she was really sick for a good 4 days and it was a little scary. By the time we made it to the Dr. she was over 103 degrees. It was a sad sad sight. She loves to play with shoes and her favorite toy is Donavan the giraffe. She is a great sleeper and still sleeps about 16 hrs a day. Im trying to get her to only nap twice a day instead of three times but she gets too tired to make it that long. She goes to bed around 7pm and sleeps until 8am.  She is in 9-12 month clothing and the real shocker (to me at least) is that she is still in size 2 diapers! I am just loving not being in a bigger size yet. She also started saying "Dadda" this month. She is a grabby pants and wants to take everything out of my hand and immediately go in her mouth. She is a cute lil girl and we absolutely adore her! Here are some pictures from the month.

Our lil girl is 6 months old. She is growing so fast and doing things a lot faster than our other kids. This month she started getting on her hands and knee's and rocking back and forth and now she has managed to start to army crawl. It still takes her awhile to get places but if I am gone for a few mins she will have crawled across the floor. She has strong little legs and loves to stand with help. She is still sleeping great and still sleeping most the days away. She is starting to sleep a little bit less but still great. She drinks 7 oz of formula every 4 hrs and spits up more then half of it. We have tried many different formulas and medicine for her reflux but nothing has helped. She is a very happy baby and is almost always smiling. She loves when her brother and sister play with her and they are usually really nice to her. She loves to grab everything! She started trying baby puff's this month and she enjoys them but doesnt quite get the hang of eating them. She can sit on her own but not for a long period of time. She is wearing 3-6 month clothing which is crazy to me, but its really nice to be able to use the clothes more than once!
 We went to the dermatologist for her hemangioma and they decided it shrunk enough that they wanted to wait on another shot, so we will go back in another week and see what they have decided. It shrunk about half its size so its getting a lot smaller.
 She is a great little girl and can't imagine our life without her.. she always cheers me up with her cute little smile and cuddles.

 Our wild sleeper always does something silly with her pj's.

 Pics of sleeping babies never gets old.

Casidy @ 5 months

Casidy is now 5 months old! My last little baby is almost half a year old! Casidy continues to be an amazing baby. She has such a sweet personality. She is a very chill, go with the flow little girl and loves people to talk and play with her. This month she got to try baby food. She is still getting used to all the different flavors of the fruits and veggies. She enjoys baby cereal and enjoys the little tastes of real food that I give her. She loves to roll around.. she rolls all over our living room. She loves to babble and smile. She started grabbing and playing with her feet.  She loves to hang upside down, and bounce on your legs.  She drinks 6 oz of formula about every 3-5 hrs. She loves to sleep.. she sleeps most of the morning/afternoon and then for bed she often falls asleep at 7:30pm and wakes up around 9am. She definitely spoils us. She still refuses binkies and has yet to suck on her thumb (hopefully it stays that way!!). She is a great little girl and we all just love her!
 Her hemangioma is finally getting smaller. She had another steroid shot a few weeks ago and it started scabbing up and getting smaller. We had a rough few weeks because it was really sore for her. It is still there and we will go again in a week for another treatment. Hopefully it will keep getting smaller.
 Here are some pictures of our cutie..
