6 Months Old

Heath is growing so fast. I think the second grows faster than the first baby did. I cannot believe he is already sitting up on his own. He is smiling and rolling every where. He is the easy going and the sweetest little baby I know.

At his 6 month check up he was:

Weight: 18 pounds 13 ounces (73%)

Height 27.2 inches long (71%)

Head: 45.7 C (97%)

Clothes: 9-12 months

Diapers: Size 4

Heath,

You are already 6 months old. I cannot believe how big you are getting. When you wake up in the morning you are always happy to see me. You flash your little smile and get so excited when I pick you up out of the crib. You love playing in the floor when I am getting ready for work. Everyone at your school loves you. You are always happy. You are still not a fan of vegetables, I have to put half veggie, half fruit on the spoon and you will eat it like a champ. You are starting to say DADA, BABA and you can squeal louder than your brother at times. You have the cutest laugh and you make me smile everyday. I am the one who gets to read to you and put you to sleep at night. My favorite book to read to you is Boy of Mine. You love when I sing to you Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. You fall asleep in my arms and I hold you while you are sleeping for a good 15 minutes. These moments are numbered. I know before long you will be wanting to crawl around and will be too busy for me to rock you to sleep. Your daddy and I love you so much. We are so blessed to be your parents.

Daddy and Mommy

Finally Our Computer Is Working

Our computer was broken for about a month! I am so happy it is working again.

I have a ton of things I need to post on this blog.

Heath is now almost 8 months old and I think the last age I posted on here was when he was 5 months old. So, I have to get on the ball.

The Story Behind Our Christmas Card

Every year we go to the Arboretum to have our pictures taken for our Christmas Cards. This has been a tradition of ours since Hunter was born. Last year was a little more difficult because Hunter was moving around but we always get a cute picture.

Well..................... that was until this year.

We all went to the Arboretum this year with tripod in tow. Kids all decked out in their white shirts and ties. I had great visions of the perfect picture dancing in my head. We told Hunter the whole way there that he could play as soon as we got done taking pictures. (looking back that was a totally unrealistic expectation of him) We got to the hay stacks with all the pumpkins. Set up the tripod and Heath and I sat down leaving just enough room for Kyle and Hunter to slide in and this is what we got:

We continued to try, we switched kids:

Then decided to just get pictures of me with the kids and Kyle with the kids:

Notice the sucker....even bribery did not work.

Then we just gave up:

I was going to try again to get a better family picture but I did not have the energy. So, Kyle and I took pics of the boys in their white shirts and ties all decked out in Christmas lights. I got a lot of comments on how funny the card was and then some people had no idea Hunter was screaming in the upper right picture.

Maybe next year it will be even more fun. But note to self...take a photographer with you. A tripod is not going to work anymore!
