Zara {24 weeks}

Happy Half Birthday baby!!!!

We did it, we have a half a year old little human

Zara is growing by the second, every day we wake up and see her she is taller and smarter and more beautiful.

She has been sitting on her own for quite a while now, and she has been starting to pull on anything that is close to her to pull her self up, its funny to see her try and fall time and time again but she never quits.

Zara is a morning person (thank God) every morning she wakes up with a huge smile. After naps she is do pumped up she starts jumping and she can't wait to eat the world.

This month her two bottom teeth made an appearance and although we had some rough night waking up with pain she is now all better, just reaching for anything that it is in her way to put in her mouth and sooth her gums.

Her conversations are getting louder and longer. We love talking to her as she stares in to our lips and tries to imitate the movements but of course she can't yet and instead coos and makes different sound.

She loves touching faces, more like slapping faces, so be aware of this, this is your only warning because it happens so fast and so hard.

After 6 months of being exclusively breastfed we start solid this month, it will be interesting, fun and messy but I am very excited to experience this new season of her life.

I couldn't end this post without showing my favorite side of our baby girl, she is full of joy and her personality is hilarious:

The best is yet to come.

Zara {20 weeks}

Five months with our sweet baby today

We love her strong personality, at this young age we can already see glimpses of who she is. I love staying at home with her and observe every little change she goes through.

Zara has been rolling over a lot better this month. All that tummy time that she is not too fond of is paying of. 

She is always looking around every time we enter a new place.

Loves to smile when someone smiles at her and has loud conversations with dad when he gets home from work.

Jumping has been her favorite activity these days.
Zara has started to recognize familiar faces and gets very excited when she sees someone she recognizes.
Her bottom gums look a little swollen, so I am guessing she is teething, also because she has been fussier than usual and her night schedule has completely changed.

Going for walks in the carrier are still one of our favorite things to do together.

Every day I am amazed of how much she has grown in these five months that to me feel like five days.

Month 4 has been a month of new discoveries.

Z found out it is fun to reach for her feet an suck on her big toe.

She has been able to sit up on her own for short periods of time. 

Tummy time is exciting for her now, she looks through books, plays with teething toys and screams at the ceiling for no apparent reason, it is just amusing for her. 

Staring and talking to her reflection in the mirror is hilarious for us. She smiles and reaches for it. 

Teething pain has been the only low this month but even through the discomfort she has been her happy self for the most part.

She is still nursing a hundred percent.

This month we dedicated her at church. I will post about it soon. Free time is a luxury now a days. 

Zara {12Weeks}

3 month old Zara is a riot, she is laughing, kicking, making tons of noises, and we pretend she is having a conversation with us.

She has discovered her hands and won'r stop twirling them and putting them in her mouth and observing them.

After two months of not taking a bottle or a pacifier or liking any toys she finally has a doll she likes to play with and keeps her entertain when she is in the car seat and I have to run errands.

Zara developed a little rash around her mouth and shoulders, her pediatrician says it is an allergic reaction but we still don't know to what so I am being extra careful with that.

She has been sleeping 4-5 hours straight at night and I love it. She sleeps in her crib in her room and just wakes up to eat and goes back down right when she is done.

She is very curious about her surroundings and likes being in the baby Bjorn looking out when we go for walks so she can see everything around her.

We had to put all the 3 month old clothes away already and got the 3-6 month clothes out.

She is growing way too fast.

Zara {8Weeks}

Zara is a lot of fun, she is sort of sitting on her own, although she sort of falls to the side. At 8 weeks she got to experience her first Easter and likes taking short walks in the baby sling.

She has a little bit of baby acne and her hair is slowly growing, specially in the back.

Took her first vacation to Vegas to celebrate her great grandma's birthday and she did amazing in the car.

Zara {4weeks}

Zara  is 4 weeks today!

Time truly flies, one day I am at the hospital giving birth and the next thing I know I am taking a picture of my little one for her 4weeks.

She has a unique personality, I love everything about her. I get to spend all day and all night with her and still can not get enough of her.

She is getting stronger every day and learning about the world around her. She stares at us every time we are talking to her and holds her head up during tummy time.

My favorite time with her is when we listen to worship music and while I sing (well...you know try to sing) she coos and gurgles and smiles, she enjoys the music that is for sure.

I have to admit that i stare at her 23 hours a day and I sleep for one! This first month has been a life changing experience. Every day is completely different from the last, when you think you got it all figured out and you have managed to figure out a schedule, the sun rises and everything changes again.

Having a little human depending on you 24/7 is the most humbling and sanctifying experience of them all. There is not a moment that I am not seeking God's guidance and praying for wisdom and discernment. I love this new season I am in.
