Hats fit for a Royal...

So, was there a doubt that I would watch the Royal Wedding...no. However, I thought I would just watch it on my dvr, but Hannah graciously allowed me to watch it live. Thank you Hannah! Prince William looked stunning, Kate (Princes Catherine) looked flawless, and the kiss should have lasted longer, but I'm grateful there were 2. Now, I must say I have never been much of a hat person, but I am pretty sure the hat worn by Prince Williams cousin is one that should never be worn by anyone...I'm not even sure if it was meant to be a hat.

Now for some of the more tasteful hats....

7 months!

Hannah is now 7 months old....where has the time gone? I remember this time last year, when I had just recently found out I was having a girl. That little girl has changed my life forever. This past month, I have been pretty much a single mom, hence the reason I haven't blogged much. I don't have any free time, and when I do, I am to tired to do anything else but sit and relax. Tis baseball season so Conrad has had baseball games everynight except Sundays and Wednesdays so we enjoy our time all together when we can. I have a new found respect for single moms...its hard work, but I wouldn't change a thing...except to have Conrad around more. Luckily baseball season isn't too much longer. Anyways...back to Hannah being 7 months now. She is rolling all over the place and is at the beginning stages of teething which means drool gallore and a little more cranky and clingy. I will put her in one spot and leave the room for a minute, when I return, she is across the room. :)  She has recently developed eczema on her face and arms. We're not sure why she has just now gotten it, but we are doing everything to heal and soothe her poor little face.I have recently started reading some sleep books to help with her sleeping habits (and mine). This week has been so much better, and she has slept through the night, staying in her bed the whole night 3 nights this week! (that is a HUGE improvement) The key to this, I have learned, is not running in there everytime I hear a peep....she is learning to fall back asleep without my assistance. We are still working on naptime...I am hoping to have that down by the time she is one (haha).  I am lucky to get 30 minutes to myself during the day, which sometimes makes for a very long day. My usual response to the "my child takes 2-3 hour naps a day" is that I just get to spend more time with my baby....positive thinking :)  She is also loving her fruits and veggies that she is now eating and we haven't found anything that she hasn't liked yet. Here are some pictures of her being 7 months and a few extra from the past month.
