Celebrations!

We had a busy month wedding celebrating, baby showering and baby welcoming!  We had a wonderful time celebrating our good friends Merv and Erin’s wedding!  We showered Jordan and baby Hunter and are waiting for his arrival any day now!  And one of Charlie Banks’ new besties was born, Riggs Elmer Stone!  We are so happy for Austin and Mercedes.  Special times all around!  Many thanks to NanJan for coming to watch Charlie Banks during the wedding weekend.  We love having her here! 

6 Months

Our sweet boy is 6 (closer to 7 now!) months!  He is a WILD man!  He has 3 teeth now and another is about to pop through.  He takes 2-3 naps per day and is sleeping SO MUCH BETTER at night…with a little nudge from our pediatrician to let him cry a little more at night and it only took one night.  Ever since the first night of letting him cry he only wakes up once around 4 or 5 to eat and then back down until about 6:30.  I was about to lose my mind waking up with him 3-4 times a night.  Hallelujah!  He loves bath time, “standing”, golf cart rides, baby einstein, sophie and putting anything he can in his mouth!  He is still a really spitty baby so I am hoping that will subside sometime soon.  He has been getting up on all 4’s for a few weeks now so we are expecting him to take off any time now!  So we are in the process of mounting our bedroom tv which was originally on a table and taking measurements for baby gates, etc.  His favorite food is pears!  He knows what he wants…just like his mama.  He is so fun and is one cute handful! 

Fun in the Sun!

FOOD!

We recently started solid foods with Charlie Banks.  He is really starting to do great with them!  He has tried bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, avocado and whole milk yogurt.  I am “making” his food…not that the foods he has tried require much effort in that department.  I am freezing the food (only the carrots and sweet potatoes) in ice cube trays which make it much easier to take out the small portions that he eats every “meal”…usually only 1-2 cubes at this point.  He is eating some yogurt in the morning and a veggie at dinner.  These pictures were from his first meal…which was actually rice cereal!
