9 Months & Counting

Sailor bug is 9 months old today. I can't believe it. I've had a very emotional past couple of days. Haven's 1st birthday party was today as well. My girls are growing up!! I helped Jenn decorate last night for her party today and the whole time my heart just ached. I couldn't believe Haven's birthday party was already here. Haven is like my second daughter!! It just FREAKS ME OUT that I'm this emotional right now!! I'm am just going to be a WRECK when I have Sailor's party!! I'm am going to need a lot of prayer!!! As most of you probably know from reading my stories in the past... I don't want my baby girl to grow up!!! I love baby-ing her!! If she could just stay this small for a couple of years it would be SUPER!!! But I know it's better than the alternative!! So I'm just trying to take EVERY MOMENT in!!!

Sailor fell asleep on our way to Haven's party today. She slept for about 30 mins after we got there, and then woke up. I knew she was still tired but there was just too much going on. She was okay for just a little while then she started getting really fussy so I made her a bottle. By that time she was screaming at the top of her lungs and there was nothing that Cameron or I could do. Sailor has never cried like this before and no matter what we did she wouldn't calm down. I didn't know what to do. I tried to take her into other rooms but they were all filled with people. Unfortunately we had to leave and take her home. She didn't calm down until I sat on our couch with her and took her clothes off. After that she was fine. There were like 50 people in the house at Haven's party and it was very noisy... so we think that she just got overwhelmed with all the people being around her. I was so sad to see her like that though. She's never cried like that before!!! It was everything I could do to not cry myself while we where rounding up all her things. My heart sank when I had to tell Jennifer that we were going home. I wouldn't get to see Haven tear into her birthday cake or open any of her presents :( But once we got home I was glad that Sailor felt better. I hope that she doesn't get that freaked out at her own birthday party.

To give you a happy ending.... Sailor and I went back over to see Jenn and Haven tonight once everyone left the party. They played together and I got to see all the FUN presents that were opened earlier. The best part was getting to see Haven walk around in the squeaker shoes I got her. SHE LOVED THEM!!! Every time she took a step her little shoes would squeak!!

I'm not sure how much Sailor weighs.... she has a doctor's appt. on Monday. I'm hoping that she will weigh atleast 17 lbs because if she can gain a pound a month from here until her birthday then she can go in a forward facing carseat when she turns one!!! WOOHOO!!! She still is not eating any type of food other than pureed baby food. If you could be in prayer about that we would appreciate it!! I don't feel like she will ever be able to eat anything solid!! She just has the worst gag reflex... and then she throws up!!! And she still doesn't hold her bottle herself (but I secretly like that because I still get to baby her!!) She says Mama, Dada, Baba, Nanana, and her newest letter... T!! She makes the Ta sound!! You go Sailor Bug!! lol She has 4 teeth and one on the way. I love this baby girl. I know I say I don't want her to grow up but I love her more and more each and every day. Her little personality is just so much fun. God has poured out the BIGGEST blessing on Cameron and I!!! Thank you Jesus for this baby girl.

Here are some pics of Sailor today:

  1. She is too cute! I know how you feel about her growing up. I feel the same way about Sydney--I can't believe she's almost 5 months now!
