Six Months

That's right, six months. Six months since our little Norah joined our family. That means it's six months until we celebrate her first birthday. Time needs to slow down.

It's crazy  how our 5lb 10.9oz. peanut has grown.

Six month stats:

13lbs. 13oz.   -  9%

26 inches  -  53%

Head circumference 15.75 inches - 1% (small noggin)

Tall and skinny. Where did she get that? ;)

She's working on her crawling skills.  (ignore the puke on the lip)

She grabs her feet, which is my favorite baby milestone.

She's not sleeping as well as she used to, but she'll get there eventually.

She loves to eat! Not a huge fan of baby food, but wants whatever we are eating. 

She rolls all over the place and gets whatever she wants. 

She's just so fun!

I finally busted out the pink seamless and girly things and took her six month photos. I couldn't be more in love with them! Now, which ones to print?

Happy six months, sweet peanut. 

Tools, coffee and shoes

 

Since we last met, I’ve been a very busy gal. Last Wednesday, after I posted, the boys and I went to Columbus for a few days. I had a newborn session with Mr. Nolan on Thursday morning. You can see those on my Facebook page if you want :) He was the perfect little model. He slept the entire time. I just wanted to snuggle with him. I miss those snuggly days.

Friday, the boys and I just hung out at Mom’s house, nothing exciting happened. I did get some cell photos, but I can’t share them. Why? Well, my phone is hanging out in a bowl of rice. It got wet somehow and it’s not working properly. Joy.

Saturday, I had a whole day of boudoir sessions with 4 great girlfriends. I am so blessed that my friends help me pursue this dream. I won’t share those photos though. They’re private. And… well… I haven’t processed them yet.

That evening, Brocky and I came home. Gav stayed with Gram for the night. It was a nice quiet ride home. I listened to Bart Millard’s Hymned Again. I took the time (without Gavin and Cars playing on the DVD) to sing loudly and chat with God.

Sunday, Brock and I went to Church while Jon went to Columbus with my dad. They came home with Gavin and all of Jon’s tools. Let me tell ya, Jon has been DYING to get these tools here. So, of course. I had to document their arrival.

Gavin was such a big help.

Monday, the boys and I had a pj day. Later in the day, I did manage to get them dressed… kinda. I got out Gav’s activity tray and let B have a snack in the living room. Gav helped share the snack.

This is how B likes to sit now… silly kid.

Did you notice his shirt in the last photo? I had coffee earlier in the day and it got cold. I had the cup sitting on the coffee table. B got it while I was in the kitchen. Oops. I had just gotten him dressed right before this, when he ate his snack. Clothing change again….

B’s 2nd outfit change ;) 18 months, I might add.

Tuesday, the boys and I went to a consignment sale. I got Gav a couple outfits and shirts and B got some new shoes! They’re Pediped brand and they fit him perfectly. I had a hard time finding shoes because his feet are so fat. I got 2 practically new pairs of shoes for less than half the price of one new pair. :) Score.

Speaking of new. Like my new do? :)

Bink addict :)

B is no longer army crawling. He’s a full-blown crawler! He’s as quick as a snake!

There are cell photos from Wednesday and Thursday… but as mentioned before, cell phone is unavailable right now.

Warm weather and breathing treatments

 

Last Thursday, the weather was FABULOUS! Like, think 70ish degrees! In February!!! We went to “the airplane park” close to our house. There’s a small airport that has a  park by it ;) It was a little muddy, but we had a good time!

I turned around to see B laughing at the wind and sun! I turned him around ;)

Perfect size goal for Gav!

Friday, we spent most of the day shopping for birthday goodies and just getting ready for the big party. *See post below

Gav loves the self-timer on my camera. We played with it a bit. This was the best we got. I need a good tripod ;)

Papa came and stayed the night. B loves him. The weekend before, my dad came and B acted like he didn’t know him. Papa’s heart was broken. I think he made up for it this weekend :)

A new fave of Brock! I think it will be printed for the bathroom :)

Believe it or not, Gav can tell you almost every letter and their sounds! He’s so stinkin’ smart ;) Thank you Letter Factory! He’s a little obsessed. This toy is one of his new favorites.

Ignoring me

#1. Yes, that’s a hotdog in his hand.

#2. Yes, the train table is in our dining room.

B was a little under the weather, so I took him to the doc on Monday. Turns out it was just a virus that settled in his chest. Breathing treatments for 4 days. Good thing he’s happy about it ;)

My little fishy.

I can’t catch it on video (when I do, I’ll post it!) but B is a mover now! Eek!
