6 Months Old

 My sweet baby is 6 months old, and I can't figure out where all that time went. She is getting so big sooo fast! She is stellar at all sorts of things like:

• Sitting up by herself
• Eating lots of foods like bananas, pears and sweet potatoes
• Laughing a ton 
• Playing in her bath with daddy 
• She is starting to be ticklish 
• Plays Peek a boo
• Smiles like crazy when Daddy comes home 
• Makes all sorts of crazy noises we call her the Pterodactyl
• She uses a sippy cup and a bottle like a pro
• Loves her feet, she even sucks on her toes 
• No teeth but I swear they are teasing me by pretending to come
•  Grabs your face and gives you big wet kisses when you ask for one!

 Elleanor loves her daddy! She lights up like a frecking light when he walks in the room when he gets home from work!
She giggles like crazy when he gives her kisses because of his beard which she thinks is hilarious to rub her feet against.

 Dexter thinks of Elleanor as his baby. He is constantly in her face and checking on her if she is in her crib or playing on the floor. She loves him dearly as well, she grabs and pulls on his face and ears and he just puts up with it because they love each other haha!

My family is fantastic I love them!

Bathing Beauty

Loves to suck on her wash clothes

And play with her feet

Beautiful Blue Eyes

Paul called me into the bathroom the other day and told me we had not gotten any pictures of Elleanor in the bath. He said we needed to get better at documenting with the good camera haha. These dang phones make everything so much easier when it comes to snapping some pictures! ANY way I went in with the camera and this is what I came out with....pure perfection! Isn't she just a doll? She was laughing and playing with her feet the whole time and got a kick out of peeka boo. She was laughing at Paul the while he did it. Her laugh is contagious and by the end of her bath Paul and I were cracking up so hard because she is just that awesome. I love this little lady she bring so much joy into my life. I love watching Paul with her and seeing him get so excited with the new things she is learning. It's great to be a little family and just enjoy the life I get to live. I am thankful for my sweet babe and my handsome husband. It's nice to be happy. :)

I am

I am Rachel Marie Dickson  

I think about what kind of mother I will be

I am happy when the sun shines

I have lots on my mind constantly  

I miss my parents 

 I fear that I am not a good enough wife and mother  

I feel at peace 

I smell Johnson and Johnson cocoa butter baby lotion 

 I usually spend my days at home 

 I search for clothes that will fit my ever disappointing body 

 I wonder when I will like what I see in the mirror 

I regret not finishing college  

I love my daughter more then I ever thought possible 

 I care about being an active member in my church  

I tell people I am fine  

I worry about bills and having enough money  

I am not the best cook 

I remember the summer of '07 and how it was the best summer of my life 

 I believe in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints  

I sing all the time 

 I don't always keep the house as clean as I would like  

I don't like not having close friends anymore 

I write grocery lists 

 I win board games 

 I lose my mind if I don't talk to at least one of my sisters daily  

I dance with Elleanor in my arms to make her laugh 

 I wish I could get a good group of girlfriends 

 I never go to bed mad at my husband no matter how late we have to stay up 

 I listen to Britney Spears and Lady Gaga all day, Ella loves them too 

 I don't understand why my boobs have to be so huge.....it drives me crazy 

 I can usually be found laying on the floor with Elleanor  

I need to lose this baby weight
