6 month update

I have been sooooo bad about updating. I know that I don't even have to tell you that our life is a bit crazy these days. I wouldn't have it any other way. Instead of trying to put together coherent paragraphs, I'm going to update via bullets and pictures! :)

-Colby turned 6 months old on September 13th...mom and I weighed and measured him at her house since he doesn't see the dr. again until October. By our calculations, he weighs about 19 pounds and is 27 and1/2 inches long...big boy!!

-we're transitioning into 6-9 month clothes, still wearing size 3 diapers...I think they'll fit for awhile

-eating all the time...not a fan of most fruits...he does love pears, but that's the only fruit he loves. He still loves his veggies and Mimsy has introduced him to sweet potato puffs

-he has no motivation to roll or try to crawl yet...he's perfectly content just chilling on the floor playing on his back or playing in his excersaucer or jumparoo...

-sleeping about 11 hours a night. He usually goes down around 8 and wakes up around 7am...such a good sleeper!

-3 naps a day...never know exactly when they'll be or how long they'll be though

-my favorite times of day are 1)getting Colby out of bed- he's SO happy, 2) feeding him his last bottle of the day and rocking him for a few minutes before I put him down. He's so precious and content

-he loves to "sing" to us in the car or in his crib

-still not sitting up on his own, but close!

Trav is studying like crazy, along with mowing yards and teaching anatomy on Monday and Wednesday nights from 6-9. We are so proud of him for doing GREAT in his first block.

I am loving my new 2nd graders. They are precious, and I love having them to myself all day.

After Trav's block one exam, he treated us to a family date night at Cheeve's! My favorite thing that happened was when Trav asked the waitress if this was the first time she'd seen a baby in the bar (even though we knew several of our friends take their babies regularly) She replied, "oh no, someone even had a BABY SHOWER here in the bar!" haha....

what is this face?? excited? confused? He was loving it...he stared at the table of girls behind us all night

Happy Cheeves Baby

All dressed up and ready to go to work with Pops! Sally gave my dad this cute soft briefcase full of soft toys like keys, cell phone, wallet, etc. Colby LOVES them!!

HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY BABY BOY!!

UT football/game night at Ashley and BJ's house

Colby took a GREAT nap in the guest bedroom...then hung out with Ally and Trent while we played one of our favorite games, loaded questions

Thank you Brad and Dee for Colby's new game day jersey!!

practicing with his sippy cup...he'd really rather just chew on it, but at least it's a start

one night when daddy was teaching, Colby and I played in the front yard. He helped me pull weeds and water our poor flowers (before the floods came)

"hey mom!"

:)

Tummy time...much more tolerable than it used to be

cute George's shirt from Whitney!!

playin with his toys on the floor

SO close to sitting up by himself...he fell over right after I took this picture

Last week he went through a phase where he thought it was really funny to use his tongue to push all of the food out of his mouth....very funny Colby!

SOO happy when he wakes up in the morning and after naps...what a nice change from the screaming wake up calls he gave us when he was first born

EW...not a fan of peaches...at all!
