Oakley 8 months.

Oakley is growing up so fast I can't even believe it! She is 8 and a half months now and has learned some new tricks. She is now crawling EVERYWHERE! She still doesn't use her knees that much but is starting to more and more.

She is a monkey and loves to climb onto anything she is able to. When we are in the room she will climb up onto her crib and stand.

She sure is turing into a curious little thing. She is starting to follow when we leave the room which is nice when that happens cause she usually cries every time I leave the room for even just a second.

She has one tooth that has broke through and today I discovered another one that looks like its trying to break through.

She is still loving her solids.

She has such a fun personality and is very happy all the time, but when she's not in the mood she can be very sensitive and cry at the littlest things.

She loves people, from a distance. She definitely loves mom and dad and doesn't really want anyone else to hold her.

She is sitting up really well too, it took her awhile and she is still wobbly. She's more of a crawler then a sitter.

Here's what Oakley has been up to lately, in pictures.

Playing in the cupboard at Aunt Diane's

On the move.

Playing on her new play mat at Grandma Decker's.

Where's dad? Oh, in the kitchen!

Loving the monkey at the zoo.

Fun merry-go-round at the zoo.

Laughing at the rhino.

She loves giraffes.

MMM, pears.

That cupboard again. It can keep her entertained for ever.
She tried climbing in it this time.

Swinging at the park.

Passed out after the REAL Salt Lake soccer game.

She doesn't like getting dressed after bath time.
She would rather climb up her crib while naked.

Playing on some mats.

Oakley 7 Months

Well Oakley's 7 months have come and gone. On the first of May she will be 8 months. I can't even believe it! She sure is a character these days. She has the cutest, funniest personality. She will laugh at so many random things, such as people having a conversation.

She is such a smily baby. She will smile at any stranger walking by looking at her. She is so friendly, but only if mom or dad is holding her. She is coming up with the case of separation anxiety. My mom tried to baby sit her this last weekend and she had to call us to come get her because nothing would make her stop crying. Once we got there she had finally calmed down, thanks to my cousin's fiancee. My mom said when we got there Oakley was a different baby compared to when we were gone. Sad. I guess this means no babysitters for awhile.

Oakley has started crawling! She doesn't go up on her knees to do it so it is more of an army crawl. But she is learning to get up on her knees, she just doesn't go anywhere when she is up. She can certainly get anywhere she wants to now. It is so cute to watch her crawl. She is getting super fast.

She loves to play games. Her favorite is when dad brings her over to grab something and then she drops it and expects him to bring her down to pick it up...and then drop it again. This can go on for awhile. Another game she likes to play is sort of similar. She will take these little snap toys out of the container one by one. It is amazing to watch her learn simple things like this. She did the same thing at church today. Jon was holding her by her diaper bag and she took out her diapers one by one. I was laughing so hard trying not to be loud. It was so funny, I didn't realize we had so many diapers in there. I guess we just don't realize there are already diapers in there so we put more in just to make sure we have enough.

We love this little girl so much and can't ever say enough how much we love her. She teaches me so much and I am so grateful to get to stay home with her all day long and watch her learn and grow.

Other news... Jon is GRADUATING May 28th. He is finishing up his last final tomorrow and has a presentation on Tuesday then he will be done and gets to walk at the end of the month. He still has one class he has to take this summer on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But he gets to walk in May because he is already registered for this class. I am so proud of him for all the hard work he does to get through school.

That is all for now. We have some fun trips in May that will hopefully be blogged about after they come and go:) We are excited!

Oakley is 6 Months Old!

We took Oakley to her 6 month appointment yesterday. I can't believe how big she is getting! Everything was perfect with her at the doctor and she is growing just how she needs to be.
She weighs about 13 pounds and is 26.5 inches long. So she is in the 10th percentile for weight and 75th for height! We have a tall and skinny little thing!
She is so fun to have around. She is getting to be quite entertaining. She will laugh at the weirdest things like me poofing my hair and brushing my teeth. She loves to watch people do anything. She is starting to explore everything! She can't crawl yet but she can roll anywhere she wants to go. She is also scooting herself around. She can turn in a complete circle by doing that, especially in a slippery tub.
She has started eating rice cereal and just had her first taste of green beans last night. She loves it! She doesn't make a funny taste when she eats it. She just opens her mouth right up!
She is talking so much more. Her words are so cute.
She is just getting over RSV. It was the saddest thing to see her feel so sick. She lost her voice which was so cute but more sad. She was a trooper. It messed up her sleeping but we are slowly getting back to normal. She is still coughing but she is doing so much better!
I can't wait to see what these next months will bring us. She is such a perfect baby and we can't say enough how much we love her!

It's love.

The first moment I saw Oakley I fell so in love with her! I can't imagine life without this precious little girl. These past few nights she hasn't been going to bed while eating, I've had to rock her. She will talk and sound so tired. She won't cry just make little noises. I love watching her fall asleep. I am so in love with this girl and I love being her mom.

She's a ROLLER!



This girl is ALWAYS on her tummy now. Every time she is put on her back she gets to her back before you know it. She ends up getting mad cause she can't roll back to her back. She's done it before, I guess she for got. When she's mad and you roll her back to her back, she rolls right back to her tummy. Silly girl.
