6 Months Old!

July 1, 2012


Yes. My Baby is 6 Months Old Today!
Oh, myocardial infarction!
How can this be?!



Stats:

Weight: 16lbs .8oz (22nd%)
Height: 26 1/2 in. (43rd%)
HC: 17 1/4 in. (61st%)

Yes. If you look at his 4 month stats it would appear
as if our child has barely grown in 2 months.
Don't worry, I've finished having my panic attack about this.
We'll see what solid foods do to him.

Ah yes. We finally started solid foods
(Yesterday)

Rice Cereal

First Taste




Not sure




Want more?



How can we say no to that face?



Ok. Big Brother will give you some.



Success!



Somebody likes his rice cereal!




He was still sleeping wonderfully this month.
He sleeps 8-9 hours at night and takes at least 3 naps during the day.





Caught me!




What else is new?

His eyes are the coolest color.
 They are soo dark but they have brown and blue in them.
Because they are so dark we assumed they would be brown,
but they still have a lot of blue in them.
Here is the best picture I have of them in the light.




He still chews on everything and drools like crazy!



He is so strong. He has an ironclad grip
and his little arms are always doing push-ups.



He still does the "skydiver."



And he loves to smack his hands.
Together, on the ground, on my face...
you get the idea.



Despite this obvious hazard, Sawyer will lie in front of him
allowing Reuben to smack him right in the face.
 He then will quickly say, "We don't hit baby Wooben!"

Speaking of Sawyer, he is an amazing big brother.
He always wants to be near him.

Say I take a picture of Reuben...



Someone else wants in on the action.



But that someone is so affectionate!
I LOVE his face in this picture!



They are so precious together!



Reu is so loved!



No wonder he's so happy!


We all love our sweet, happy, 6 month old Reuben!

My Mad Bird

June 25, 2012


On rare occasions Sawyer is allowed to play "Mad Birds" 
on his ipad.  He loves it and was thrilled when his Aunt B
 got him his very own "Mad Bird" blanket!

What an adorable little Angry (I mean Mad) Bird!
Thanks Aunt B!!

p.s. I have no idea why he calls it Mad Birds instead of Angry Birds.
I can't correct him because it's just too cute.

Crazy about the Cousins!

June 21, 2012

My Step-Mom was planning a family reunion at their house 
so we headed up on June 9th for some family fun! 

Sawyer LOVES his cousins!

Loves to bounce with them!



And Loves to swim with them!



And the kids awarded me two trophies!
I'm not sure why!



My cute boy!



My Cute Baby!



My step-sister had an awesome idea for a Father's Day 
present for my Daddy, so I took some photos of his Grandkids.











Cute, huh?! 
Good Times. Good Times.

The Johnson's and their King!

June 20, 2012

One bit of really sad news...
Our best friends, Scott and Ashley moved this month. 

Three bits that make it "not so sad" news...
1. We are moving this month too.
2. They are staying in the same state!
3. When they moved, they got a new family member!

Meet Kingston!


He is so cute! Look at that face!



We were lucky enough to visit them 
the week that they moved and brought him home.

Tuya sure loved King!



Sawyer sure loved King!


Checking out King


Checking out Sawyer and Tuya



A tired Tuya



Reuben with Aunt Ashley



I love this picture!



Sawyer and Reuben LOVE Aunt Ashley and Uncle Scott!


Yes, kiddos. So do Mom and Dad. 

 

We love this cute little family!

Daddy Is Someone Special!

June 17, 2012

I once heard a quote that went something like this...

"(Almost)* anyone can be a Father, 
but it takes someone special to be a Daddy!"

Here's to my boys' Daddy!


He's definitely someone special!

*I had to add the "Almost" part because becoming a father 
doesn't come all that easily to everyone. It is a miraculous gift. 
A gift that this Daddy is soo grateful for!

Happy Daddy's Day!
