What a month!

We've been in our house about a month now and we have settled in pretty well.  Preschool started for Mady last week and I am glad to be back in a routine, and getting some normal back into our lives.  Mady did great the first day and was so happy after I picked her up but she was not happy to go back the second day.  We'll see how this week goes for her.  I'm confident she will get use to it and it will get better.  It's been a fun month for us!

This was just too cute not to post

It was our first time doing "Painting with a Twist" and we had a great time

Fun with the Winkley's

Dee's Wedding!

We are loving the backyard, but mainly in the evening when it's not scorching outside

She's become a fan of soccer

Just an afternoon chasing butterflies

We had the first "First Day of School" at our house:

And we celebrated the first birthdays in the house too!

6 Months

Little man is halfway to a year.  This last month seemed to fly by for us, and before we knew it Owen was 6 months old.  He changed a lot in this past month and grew up quite a bit.  I got his stats at his 6 month appointment today.  I was a bit sad not to be going to our old pediatrician but his new doctor was great, and I really like her and the office.

Weight: 18lbs 2 oz  (60th percentile)

Length: 26.75 inches (60th percentile)

Head: 17.5 inches (68th percentile)

Developmentally, Owen has grown quite a bit.  He is sitting like a pro now, and loves sitting and playing with his toys and watching everything going on around him.  He doesn't like being by himself though, and he will get upset if he doesn't see anyone around him.  He's mastered rolling and can roll from back to tummy, and tummy to back.  He only likes to roll from back to tummy though.  Crawling may come this month because when he's on his tummy he will pull all the way up on his arms and move his legs like crazy.  He gets frustrated after a while because he's not getting anywhere.

We're sitting in the shopping carts now!

He will now reach his arms out when you go to pick him up, and he will snuggle up against my neck which is the sweetest thing.  He's just a bundle of cuteness with his snuggles, and smiles, and laughs. I could eat him up, haha!

Fun in the sun

He LOVES swinging

and he LOVES his sister

Since we've been in the house his sleeping has gotten much better.  He takes two to three naps a day depending on how the day goes.  I think the third nap will probably end soon.  As for nighttime, he's sleeping through the night besides waking up wanting his paci if he's lost it.  

We started solids almost two weeks ago.  We tried oatmeal which he did not like at all.  So far he's tried sweet potatoes, apples, and peas, and we tried pears today.  He loves sweet potatoes and peas, but was not a fan of apples.   After today, we can add pears to the list of foods he doesn't like.  He's eating one meal a day and nursing about four to five times a day.  He's a growing boy and is now in 9 month clothing.

Time to break out this thing again

Wasn't a fan the first time he was in the highchair

First bites

The kids took a bath together for the first time tonight and they had so much fun.  It's so cute watching these two.  He's growing so fast and we are loving every minute.
