Almost there!!! You can Do it!!

If you had to ask me today, I would say Brinlie will be an "early" crawler. If you know me...that is not what I secretly want. Call me lazy, but it is so much easier now that I can stick her on a blanket in the living room and she not move. Once she starts crawling I will no longer be able to do that. I am not sure how long the time spans between when they figure out how to get on the hands and knees and start rocking back and forth until they actually move their legs. (my guess is a few weeks??) I am really not sure, I need to ask around to all you Mommy's who have babies crawling!! This is what I am talking about...

Brinlie finds herself in the weirdest spots...she moves backwards...

She will move clear across the room, but scooting backwards. It is funny how she does it. Anyway, we can find her under chairs, tables, and other places she does not need to be!!

Snow day

Well this post is a tad late, but things have been busy in the Hoover household. BUT...I could not resist sharing some photos of the snow that we got 2 weeks ago. The snow started falling around 6 pm Sunday night and it covered our deck within 10 minutes. It was so pretty. However, b/c it was night time, we could not enjoy watching the snow fall. However, when we got up the next morning...everything was covered. We received about 4-5 inches of snow. So we quickly figured out who was staying home with Brinlie (I did) and took her out quickly for a photo session.

Happy Eating

Have I told y'all how much my child loves to EAT...well we all know she has always been a big girl, but nothing is slowing her down now...she still love to eat. So we are now onto food and she is SOOOOO ready. We waited until she was 6 months b/c of possible food allergies. She is liking everything so far. This is a pic of her taking down some sweet potatoes!! More to come...

So far she like sweet potatoes, applesauce, and HATES sweet peas. The first time she was eating the peas, she ate the first 10 bites...then decided that she does not like them. She tried to spit them up. Very funny. Well...it's a first...something that my child will not eat! We will try them again in a few weeks!

Swimming!!

Okay so I promised some pics of swimming lessons...Check out his hot bathing suit. Too bad there is not "adult" version of this, we would be hot...Just kidding. The worst part about taking Brinlie to get in the pool is that I have to put my body in a bathing suit...I HATE it!!

But we are learning lots...she is so funny when she sticks her face in the water. She kicks her feet around too. Now we just need her to work on the arms... Well my goal is that she will be comfortable enough to be in the water and on the boat this summer!
