Hope turned 7 months old two days ago. It is hard to believe that Lauren is in first grade and it is even harder to believe that Hope is growing up so fast!

Hope is on the go all the time. She started crawling at 6 months and hasn’t slowed down yet. In fact, she’s so busy scooting around that she hasn’t learned to sit up yet. When we put her in a sitting position she immediately flips herself onto her tummy and takes off crawling. There is no stopping this girl!

Here’s Hope, hiding out in the kitchen. She often finds hiding places. If she is quiet for too long I know she has found a stash of Lauren’s toys. Lauren never had to worry about her toys being covered in baby slobber when Carmen was little. Dave is doing his best to convince Lauren that baby slobber isn’t gross. Lauren is not convinced.

Hope LOVES baths now. She kicks her feet so hard that taking a picture during bath time is challenging. I stood as far back as I could and zoomed in but the lens still got a bit wet!

Hope is a sweet baby and we are extremely grateful to have her. Love, love, love this baby girl!
