6 Months, November, and Thanksgiving 2015

This little booger turned 6 months just the other day and I'm still trying to figure out how!!!

Weight: 16lb 1oz (24%)

Height: 27.5in (84%)

At 6 months C is:
-down to four 8oz bottles a day
-sleeping through the night with the occasional cry for the paci but goes right back down
-is an extremely happy baby, except when he sees the bottle and it's not in his mouth!
-mastered the back to belly roll right after Thanksgiving
-already rocking on all fours
-his favorite activity is just laying the four playing with toys
-reaching out for your face when you hold him (how do they know exactly what to do to melt their mama's heart?!)
-loves to talk, coo, and laugh
-finds his toes pretty fascinating
-starting to fuss when I get out of sight

This little fella brings us so much joy and has such a contagious smile! He's long like my other babies but much leaner! I'll admit I probably give in to him a little more than I did my others... William is sure to tell everybody that C has his mama wrapped. I guess he does!

The other week daddy went on a hunting trip so Aunt Heather and the boys came down for a night and we had a blast!! Both sets of boys are pretty close and age and I look forward to watching them play together for many years to come!

We survived church with all 5!

Some other pictures from the month of November!

W absolutely loves doing puzzles and he's pretty good at them!

Loves watching big bubba play!

We got to celebrate Thanksgiving with both sets of grandparents:

I love the age of digital cameras and being able to take pics of whatever you want b/c I love catching my children in their "natural element" if you will. Not that W normally watches tv this close... but he would if he could!

Somebody loves her aunt Katie... or her phone?

We also got to spend some time at Grandmama's watching Clemson beat USC!

Before we left, we decorated our Christmas tree. With Thanksgiving being so late this year I didn't want to be so rushed to get it up.

5 Months, Halloween, and a Little More!

C turned 5m just a few days ago and things are going well!

At 5 months C is:
-went from eating 6 times a day back down to 5 times... now working on weaning to 4 times
-weighed in at 15lb 6oz according to our scale! So glad to see this growth!
-enjoys spending time in his bouncy seat, jumper, and just laying on his back on his mat
-starting to really grab at things
-has rolled from back to belly 2x times... once in his crib completely swaddled (so he now sleeps on his tummy in a sleep sack) and another time on W's big bed... missed them both!!!
-has a grin for just about everybody

We so love this precious boy!!

We had fun carving a pumpkin with daddy!

We enjoyed Halloween this year with our cowboy, cowgirl, and a penguin... random I know. I knew that W would NEVER go for much of a costume so I thought cowboy was somewhat similar to everyday clothes and he loves his hat. Plus, I figured if AR looked the same he'd be more willing. He did well with everything except the bandana... but I pushed it and he finally forgot about it!
