7 months with Humility

Boy, does time fly when you are having fun. That seems to be the case with my kids anyway. They are a lot of fun and I feel very blessed to get to be their mommy. It does not seem possible, but somehow Humilty has mastered the art of crawling and is now venturing the world of pulling up and standing. I have told her that she can slow down, but she continues to crawl into new rooms and territories that she desires to conquer.  At her 6 month check-up she weighed 17.8 lbs. and was 26 3/4 inches long.

Things she likes: 

-whenever Samuel or Abigail come into the room

-seeing other kids

-rolling from back to tummy and vise versa

-grabbing her feet when I change her diaper

-when they sing or talk to her

-trying new foods

-banging her hands on her highchair tray

-feeding herself with a spoon

-jabbering (her new favorite word is on the video below :))

-chewing on things (anything)

-anything she can put in her mouth (we try to hide Toby's dog bone)

Things she does not like:

-taking a bath

-the sound of the vacuum 

Turned 7 months on February 6th

She loves her big brother and sister. She thinks they are the best. (I know how she feels)

Humility- 6 months

Samuel's Thanksgiving Concert

I came across this video from Thanksgiving 2011. I'm thankful Samuel has a passion for music. But it's hard to watch him grow up so fast. Love that boy.

Humility 3 months

This month Humility is becoming more vocal. Her favorite time to talk is while she's getting her diaper changed. She is making more cooing and giggling sounds and I think I have heard "mama" a couple times. Though she does not understand what that means yet, it is still fun to hear. She is getting chubbier and more beautiful everyday. And she is so nice to snuggle with. She has discovered her thumb more and enjoys sucking on that. She is also doing a lot of drooling so her first tooth will possibly make it's first appearance sometime over the next couple of months.  She also likes to smile at her reflection in the mirror. She loves when Samuel and Abigail sing and talk to her. With those two I think she will never lack in entertainment.

Humility Faith is here!

Humility Faith Morris was born Friday, July 6th at 12:22pm. She was 6 lbs. 12.5 oz. and 19.5 inches long. I woke up with contractions around 5:30 that morning and labored at home until about 10:35am. My contractions were not very consistant in that they were sometimes 10 minutes a part with the next one being 5 minutes a part. But we decided it was time to go the hospital when I felt like I needed to push! I was thankful the hospital was only 10 minutes away. We got to the hospital at 10:45 and we are thankful she came into the world with a smooth labor and delivery with no complications. Throughout my pregnancy I had been praying for a quick labor and delivery. And it went a lot faster than I had expected! Right after Cody cut the umbilical cord they laid her on my stomach and she peed and pooped on me! We were happy to find out everything was working well in that department. :) They usually check the weight and measure the baby right after a baby is born, but because they were so busy with other mothers giving birth we got to cuddle our new little one for about an hour. I'm glad we got to have that special bonding time right after she was born.

We love our new little blessing from God. Humility makes the sweetest baby noises and loves to cuddle. Samuel and Abigail love to help take care of their little sister. They like to hold her and give her kisses. They also like to bring stuffed animals for her to look at. If I have Humility laying on the floor Abigail likes to bring her a blanket. Samuel likes to help me change her diaper and change her clothes. It is very fun to watch them interact with their baby sister.
