half a year


My baby girl is six months old! 
Where has the time gone? 
I know that is a common phrase but seriously! 
She is a joy in our lives and we are all smitten with her. 
But she hates to sleep which is her downfall. 
Or maybe I should say she is always hungry or thinks she is.
Just like her brother.
Up several times in the night still at this age.
Course he still gets up in the night so why did I think she would be any different?
She needs to work on that and improve :)
But we manage!

I started making my own baby food this time around. I am loving it, its so convenient to have cubes in the freezer and pull them out to thaw and feed. So much better than constantly buying jars of baby food. I wish I did this with Owen. Yeah sometimes cooking the food is a bit of work but its easy and its all worth it. Right now she isn't eating a lot so I have a big stash in the freezer to last me awhile. 

We have a pretty layer of snow on the ground here. When the sun shines its so beautiful!
As much as I don't like snow it is beautiful to look at glistening in the sun. 
Winter is here!
Christmas is coming, we look forward to celebrating the birth of our Saviour!

pom pom

Not much has been going on lately. Emma's been fighting a chest infection for quite a while and is on her second dose of antibiotics so we have been laying low to get her over it. So we've been doing a few projects at home, one of which is I finished crocheting her a cute winter hat. It was my first real crochet project so I was quite excited about it. Owen is obsessed with trying it on so I had to promise him I'd make him one- of course more boyish, that might be my next project.

love this little face
 (isn't it cute how Owen is holding her hand- I just noticed that in the background)
