7 months!

we are now past half a year old! this sounds so crazy and yet i can't remember what life was like before you. everyday brings on something new. whether it is something big like learning to give kisses and dancing when you hear music or something little you do (pet my face while nursing) everything just melts my heart.



you are so much more vocal and will let it be known when you want something different, are bored, or don't want to nap. you love to be out and looking around. no more will you let me pop you in the car seat and pop it all in a cart. nope you want me to use the cart cover and sit like a big girl.



your favorite song is the itsy bitsy spider and are all smiles when we sing it to you. you love all music though and like i said you can dance. we have gotten some great video of you getting your grove on.



we have been working hard on teaching you to give kisses when asked. this, my little one, just melts my heart. and you don't seem to mind when i ask millions of times for your little smooches.



you continue to be such a sweet little baby and i adore our little family. thankfully daddy has been home a little so we've gotten to spend lots of time together. we are looking forward to the warmer weather and have lots of little adventures planned. but you my dear are the best adventure ever!



love,
your momma

the adventures of bennet and her cat, petty

bennet&petty from melissa prevost on Vimeo.

(please ignore my loud voice and all the other noise i am making in the background!)

bennet loves petty. and by loves, i mean absolutely adores and will not pay attention to anyone or anything else when he is around.

petty is getting used to bennet. he loves her deep down inside and is just so curious about her. he doesn't get that she can't really pet him yet and quickly realizes it after losing a few hairs. petty is really going to love her once she figures it out. petty loves anyone who acknowledges him and will give him a scratch.

these 2 are just bound for many adventures and cuddles.



but for now i think they will keep an eye on each other.

bowen's heart

i've wrote about this little baby boy before...today he is having his second heart surgery. in fact he is probably under going it as we speak. please join so many in prayer for this little fighter. pray for our dear friends matt and sarah as they have to wait in the waiting room. pray that God's peace and comfort surround them as they face the unknown.

follow their journey here...

shop ZUZII

this is one of my favorite shops. i am usually not a fan of baby headbands but this shop has changed my opinion. i am all about comfort and these little stretchy bands are perfect and don't sqeeze my baby's little head. and seriously could they be any cuter?!



could she?!

a good day...

Lunch!



Then...

Nap!



happy friday!

photo shoots

pete is finally home and with him he brought our new camera. so far all we have done today is play with bennet, take tons & tons of photos of bennet, and eat...oh and we got a nice morning nap in there too. beautiful day.

6 months! {and a 1 week)

posting this a little late due to sickness.

dearest baby girl,

6 MONTHS!?!?!! how is this here already? you change each day, right before my eyes. i can't believe you are half a year old. that just sounds insane.
you are the sweetest little babe. always happy and smiling. you love to laugh and anyone who is around you gets some big gummy baby smiles.




some firsts this month:
taste of food
sickness (rsv and ear infections)
airplane ride
play sitting up all by yourself
sippy cup

you are getting good at eating but still could care less about it. so far you seem to like sweet potatoes best. i just ordered all my baby food making things and i can't wait to start making neat food for you to try.



i love you my little dear! these past 6 months have been the best and brightest in my life. thank you for being my little one. i am so thankful God chose me to be your mommy!
