6 months, 26 weeks, half a year

Little man you've stolen my heart with that grin. I could never imagined how it would melt my heart. Half a year and it feels so right. Love you little one.

All of this happened this weekend. 12 people visiting for the baptism. 2 dinners and 1 brunch for 30 adults plus kids. And momma was a hot mess. More details and pictures (of the baptism not the mastitis and maybe the poison ivy) to come. I'm still healing and catching up!!

3 Months - A month in Pictures

3 month photo shoot - cute face with dimples

3 month photo shoot - not sure what face this is, but its kind of cute

sleeping on the guest bed while Mommy wrapped up work.  Mommy enjoys her post work snuggles most days, sometimes she has to work longer though. 

Great smile after 3 month photo shoot. 

The NCAA tournament was at the beginning of this month.  Mommy and Daddy's teams were playing in the tournament.  This night they were both playing (not each other) so you were wearing your UK pants and some UNC socks.  Two nights later they faced off and Mommy's team won!  GO CATS!

watching the bball games with Daddy.  You took position in the crook of his arm and actually watched the games (while you were awake).  You love watching TV - sports, HGTV all of it.  We think you'll either be an athlete or handyman ;)

Chewing on your hands and burp cloth - that's your new favorite past time.  You also started chewing on Sophie this month, but it will be a month before you really get the hang of it.   This picture really was to show the cute little rolls you are getting in your legs.  You're a growing boy.  Mommy and Daddy "weighed" you at home (on scale with you and without you and calculated the difference).  We both think you are around 15 pounds.  You are getting so big we tried to go to size 2 diapers at the beginning of the month.  That didn't quite work as you leaked out of both sides.  Back to size 1's but not for long. 

Photogenic little boy!  First trip to church on Sunday (your first trip to church was for Ash Wednesday service, so this was the first Sunday service)

Family picture for the church book.  Really cute Gap outfit!  Yes it was warm and Mommy dressed you in a sweater and khakis.  You needed to look super cute for church.  Later the sweater came off.  And if I remember right, you had a little incident in the stroller and the pants got a little dirty ;)

All smiles while hanging out with Mommy after work.  You had several days of a lot of spit up this month.  We tried to switch you to formula to see if that would help and created a whole new problem.  Your little belly wasn't ready for it.  You went 5 days with out filling a diaper.  You were not a happy guy.  But no worries, a little brown sugar in the bottle and things were flowing again.  We learned that we can't switch you cold turkey.  Something to keep in mind for when you turn 6 months and Mommy stops pumping for your bottles.

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit this month.   You went to your first ever beer tasting.  Daddy carried you in the bjorn and you slept most of the time.  We definitely got a few stares and started some discussions, but you were great.  What was not so great was your explosive diaper at lunch BEFORE the beer tasting.  You were sitting on Mommy's lap.  She was wearing a khaki skirt and it spilled out of your diaper - not a pretty sight!  (But that wasn't your first untimely explosion this month.  You had an issue in your stroller on a walk with Daddy.  AND naked on your changing table.  It was a disaster and the timing was terrible as Mommy was trying to get out of the house to meet Daddy for a date night.  No worries, we got you all cleaned up, over to Aunt B's and Mommy and Daddy had a wonderful night!)

you really started grabbing for things this month - including grandma's hair. 

A visit with Grandma and Grandpa!

One morning we were up early and you helped Mommy check emails before Ms. K got here. (that's why mommy looks so good in her no makeup, dressed to work out look!)  You are losing all your pretty dark hair.  Check out that comb over look you have going on. 

All smiles after a bath.  You really enjoy getting a bath!  You also started sitting in the bumbo this month.  You seem to really like it and are doing pretty well holding your head up. 

Buscia and Gampy came to visit too this month!!  This is Buscia and both her grand-boys!

Pat your head and rub your belly - or is it the other way around?!?!?

Snoozing - you really can sleep anywhere (I think you are Mommy's boy!!)

Passed out on the play mat.  You just had too much fun with Mr Octopus and the other toys you crashed right on the floor.  See, you really can sleep anywhere!

Mr Impatient - you grabbed the bottle out of Mommy's hands and started holding it yourself (at the end of the month).

Bandaids on the the shot spots from your 4 month doctor appointment.  You weighed 14lbs 4oz (Mommy and Daddy were a little off!)  You are a growing little boy and we love you!!
