Our sweet Anna is 7 months old today! I can't believe she's that old already! I just watch her everyday and wonder how I got so lucky to be her mom. She's unbelievably sweet and has taken to giving hugs to anyone who holds her. She gives a hug and then wants mom back. She's crawling everywhere, she's gotten fast, fast, fast and since it's not good enough to just crawl, she's started pulling up on everything. She has yet to understand that in order to stay up, she has to keep holding on... So she falls a lot, but she's tough and usually just picks back up and keeps going!
Her favorite things are mama and dada and she talks about us
Basically she's one big ball of fun! She's so busy all of the time and definitely crashes for naptime and nighttime. It's hard work playing all day! We just love her to pieces and can't imagine our lives without her! Happy 7 months to my sweet girl!
100 Years
And a very happy birthday to my great-grandma! She is 100 years old today. Quite the milestone I'd say! We're excited to go celebrate her birthday on Saturday! She's overcome a lot in her life, including lots of knee replacements and cancer as well as standing up for her rights as a woman when she was young. She raised 3 kids, has 5 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren! We have always enjoyed our time visiting great-grandma Maize, she always had many stories to tell (often more than once :-)) and she was always giving me things of hers that have my birthstone in them, since we have the same one. She always loved to quilt and has many beautiful crocheted and quilted pieces amongst the family. I'm so blessed to have so many grandparents alive!
I stole this from my dad, but it's interesting to think about. Here are a few things that were not around or prevalent when she was born: Refrigeration, Cars, Air travel, light bulbs, the telephone, electricity was a new concept. World War I had not occurred yet. She lived through a lot in history, its amazing that all of that happened in one person's lifetime! And sadly, as old as she is, even my great-grandma hasn't seen the Cubs win a World Series...

Godson
Our Godson was born last night (I think it was last night, it could've been this morning though, I found out this morning). Theodore Justinian Joachim B. was 7lbs 12oz and is adorable! We can't wait to go see them in 3 weeks for his Baptism! Check out Justine's blog to read about their journey! We're so excited he's here, he is so loved!
In the last 7 days, we have 5 friends who have had babies! It's quite amazing really! September is the best month for birthdays! :-)
