Mom don't creep out about them (snakes). They are real life and God made them to be scary.  

Some people are allergic to them and freak out. I'm actually going to get a pet nice snake...  -emory

Hallie 7 months

Hallie began army crawling then normal crawling month 6.  Hallie also learned to sit up alone.   She's all over the house and loves her brothers toys and being near them. Keillan and Hallie became much more interested in each other:). She wakes 1-2 times a night.  We lay her down awake now and she cries 5-10 minutes before falling asleep with no pacifer (her choice).

She is semi interested in her baby food. She dislikes green veggies but doesn't mind other foods so far. 

Hallie Beth is moving & more

Hallie B started getting on her knees and rocking on jan 6.  She quickly figured out how to army crawl after this and gets all over the family room.  Also, marking the 6th month mark we were recommended per her peditrician to start some sleep training and stop night time feeding... We are taking baby steps. BUT We have moved her from sleeping in the rock n play or swing to the pack n play, we finally unswaddled her and lay her down awake. (Lots of crying:(... But it's working. She has only been waking once per night vs the 2+ times before). Also, we no longer hold her from 9-12pm trying to get her to sleep. She now sleeps mostly on her belly with her fingers in her mouth vs her pacifer.

Hallie Beth's first foods

Hallies first food was sweet potatoes. She has tried carrots, green beans and pears as well. She's only liked a few bites of each until we introduced pears. She ate 1/2 jars of pears vs 1-3 bites of the veggies:)

Sweet Hallie you are growing and changing so much daily. Month 5 you woke up minimally twice nightly to eat and always were snuggled to sleep. Hallie started saying "dada" and babbles a lot more.
