Bergen: 6 months

I can't believe this little girl is already 6 months! Half a year! It's so crazy how fast it really has gone. Bergen is such a sweet baby. She rarely cries (unless she is tired or hungry) and is always up for whatever we throw at her. We are on the go a lot more I feel like and she is very content in our stroller and in the car. She adores her sister so much and her face just lights up when she sees Charley. Charley makes her laugh daily which is cute (even if she just jumps, Bergen will crack up!). Bergen is rolling, growling, putting everything in her mouth and loves babbling away. She likes hearing us sing songs, taking baths and playing with her little toys. She refuses the binki now and loves to be in the Ergo. She has been trying lots of different foods and really likes apples, veggie straws and crackers. She doesn't have any teeth yet, is the best sleeper and has the cutest little dimple. She usually sleeps around 6:30pm and wakes up at 6:30am. She takes 2 naps at 8:30am and 1:00pm. Her second nap is ally 3-4 hours which is amazing because that is when Charley naps too. We love our little Bergster so much, but just wish she would stop growing so fast!

I love doing side by side comparisons of the girls. This is Bergen and Charley both at 6 months. 

South Carolina

A few weeks ago my sister Rachelle called me up and told me she had found some cheap flights from NY to Charleston. She wanted me to come down to take her family pictures. I was happy to come and we all ended up going! It was fun to see her family and for Charley and Bergen to play with their cousins. We walked around Charleston and took family pictures, had an adult date night at Magnolias and played lots with cousins! Magnolias was such good Southern food! It was amazing!!! Rachelle and I made a fun craft one night too, which was fun. I am not into crafting as much as I used to be since I don't have space in my tiny apt for supplies or to keep decorations, so it was fun to make something festive and hang it on our door when we got home. Thanks for letting us come Shell. Your family is beautiful! Her family photos are up on my blog HERE.
Bergen slept in the closet and I walked in there after she had gone to bed and she had rolled all the way to the other side of the closet. I had a panic attack for about 2 seconds because when I opened the door and looked on the blanket she wasn't there!

November

I feel like this month is flying by! It's almost Thanksgiving already! The weather here has been amazing! I don't want it to end. We have been trying to make the most of these warm days and go outside and play. We usually go to the playground once or even twice a day. With living in such a small apt. I feel the need to be outside more and more. I hope we can still make it out this winter just as much and just bundle up. Here are some things we have been up to this month: One of Spencer's white shirts didn't fit him anymore, so I made a dress for Charley out of it. It turned out really cute! I found tickets to see my favorite singer, Mat Kearney, in New Jersey so last minute I bought them, found a babysitter and took Spencer with me. Loved every minute of that concert! My friend Lizzie and I put together a baby shower for our friend Julie. It was a perfect autumn day in the park for it. Spencer had a mans night out and went to a butcher shop/restaurant where they served all you can eat meat. It was about as manly as you can get! His friend snapped a picture and sent it to me! :) Lots of playground pictures, Bergen eating her first solids and Charley went to a birthday party for her friend Wren and they had a pony to ride! She loved it!! Oh and Spencer and I were able to go on a date night with our good friends and neighbors to an amazing French Restaurant, Lucien. They knew of a really good place and it did not disappoint. It was super yummy!
