Haven is constantly talking and figuring life out in every way verbal. She has one pitch - it is high (think Minnie Mouse) and loud. She never stops talking, and I find myself getting so excited for bedtime to come just to experience a quiet house. She enjoys being in control at all times (wonder where she got this from) and I often have to remind her that she is not the mommy. She likes to try to get away with disciplining Parker. "Parker - No! We don't pull hair!"
The other day, I was eating an ice cream cone after a play date at McDonald's. This was after Haven had chosen and eaten her treat - a yogurt parfait. I wasn't going to share since, at this point, we were driving home and I did not want to try passing the ice cream cone back and forth. She then, in her "I am mommy" tone, stated, "Mommy, I am going to tell Jesus that you are not sharing!" Well, at least she knows who the moral authority is... oh, brother.
We just had a 7 month check-up with Parker. I accidentally forgot about our 6 month appointment and had to reschedule. I forget things a lot now... but that is another blog entry. Parker is 15 lbs (20%) and 26 3/4 inches long (72%). She eats three solid meals a day now, and is crawling backwards. She loves to get herself stuck in corners and under furniture. She can push herself up to a sitting position and I am prepared to see her start crawling forward at any point. Nooooo! I feel like I am losing my little baby! Crawling just adds a whole new dimension... wondering if I have the energy for that yet.

Valentine Party!
Haven and I hosted a Valentine's party today. We had lunch and then cleared off the table and made valentines for anyone who likes glitter glue, feathers, heart stickers and lace doilies.
Daddy Time
The girls LOVE spending time with daddy. Haven loves to make forts out of blankets, and Nate is a pro at creating the perfect "rocket ship." They have a blast together and I can't explain what joy it is to see him love and adore his daughters. I guess that is why God gave us two...
Bath time
Both girls love bath time together. Haven can sing her little heart out with an adoring audience - at least at this point since Parker is more interested in getting her mouth around all the bath toys. Such cute faces! =0)
