Rachel...Six Months Later!!

Wow, it's been awhile! The photography blog is taking up all my blogging energy! So not much is going on, I dedicate most of my posts to Rachel, so why not another one?

I can't believe my baby is six months! It might be through a mother's eye, but she just keeps getting cuter and cuter! It seems like she has grown up so much lately...so fast! It kinda makes me sad, because now I can totally understand how people say enjoy EVERY moment, because it goes so fast. She is now eating solids and sitting up all on her own. Our latest challenge is trying to get her to take a bottle. Mike and I are going on a vacation in a couple of weeks to celebrate our anniversary, and we're trying to get her ready for a week with Grandpa and Grandma. Any tips??? Seriously, we've tried everything!! I just don't think she can live a week strait on rice cereal and mashed string beans!

So in other news, our anniversary is on Tuesday...another thing I can't believe how fast life is flying by! I'm so lucky to have such a great husband. Our trip that we're taking...was totally planned by Mike and was supposed to be a surprise. Long story short...I found out we're going somewhere, I just don't know where!
Another milestone coming up is my B-day. Wow...one year older...and just older! It kinda seems like all the milestone ages that you look forward to are behind me, but that is also a good thing. Every stage I'm in I think is the best one, but then when I see other people going through ones I've already been through I always think to myself, "That was a fun stage, but I'm so glad we're not there anymore!" Oh well, Rachel is slowly stealing my youth with every late night feeding anyways hahaha! Well enough of my random thoughts!

try using different kids of bottles. Parker had the same problem and we finally found a bottle he would take after trying a couple different kinds. he didn't like the small nipples, it had to be the big ones. P.s. the pictures look great, thanks!

Those block pictures turned out so cute! I have got to get some before we take pics of Adam. Talk to you later!

Instead of a bottle, you could try a sippy cup. Easton likes to have his cup so maybe she'll go for it too. Have fun on your trip, wherever you end up! We need to get together soon!

You could also make sure you're not around when she's hungry and have Mike feed her. It might not make sense to her to take a bottle when you are right there with her preferred source of food.
