Drew's 6 month stats:

Weight:  20 lb, 9.5 oz (95th percentile)
Height:  29 inches (100th percentile)

We got ourselves a big 'un!  Maybe he'll be a professional football or hockey player with that size and make his mom and dad lots of money!

We are getting ready to move him to a convertible seat because neither of us can handle carrying him in his infant carrier for much longer.  The boy is heavy!!  The problem is we have to buy 3 seats since we need one for my mom too.  Oh and a new lightweight stroller for her too.  Babies are so expensive!!  But he's well worth it!    

Yikes! I am a Bad Blogger!

It's been way to long since my last update and my little dude is doing so much these days!!  Pictures to come soon but here are the higlights:

• He's rolling both ways now very proficiently and likes this as his normal mode of transportation.  He gets up on his arms and you can tell he is trying really hard to figure out how to crawl but then he just gives up and starts rolling everywhere.  He can roll across the room in like 15 seconds.  No more leaving him on the floor unattended!
• He's doing a lot more babbling.  At 6months old, we had our first words!  Mamamamamam was first, followed by babababa.  Now everything is dadadadadada. 
• He loves to play with Sonny!  We put him in his exersaucer and Sonny will come up to him.  He'll bounce and sonny will bark and then he'll giggle like mad.  They'll repeat this for 20 minutes sometimes!  Very cute.
• His favorite game is peek-a-boo.  He loves to be scared.  He'll start laughing uncontrollably when you sneak up on him!
• He's become very clingy lately.  Especially with Steve and I.  We cant leave his sight or he starts screaming until he is picked up.  Once we do pick him up, he clings for awhile and then relaxes.
• At six months, he has his two bottom teeth and I think we'll have top ones real soon.  Hylands teething tabs has really helped...at times.
• He's sittting up for very short periods but you can see his improvement in this area almost daily.
• He's doing pretty well with solids.  He loves his oatmeal and barley and loves green beans and sweet potatoes.  He also likes apples and pears.  He's not into carrots or peas but will tolerate them since the kid just loves to eat.  I find him watching me a lot closer now when I eat and he even opens his mouth so I am not sure if he is ready for more yet.  We'll be moving on to meats and other foods in a few weeks!
• He's standing up in his first wedding!  We have his tux and shoes and he is ready to go.  Can't wait for Aunt Theresa and Uncle Nick's wedding!

My Little Fort Monkey

I am so honored to be a part of such a wonderful group of girls who offer support and friendship and whom I really couldn't do this thing called parenting without.  Each and every one of them is amazing, supportive and just downright wonderful.  They patiently answer all my questions, offer kind words on hard days and lots of laughs on others!  I triple puffy heart love those girls!  I could go on and on about them!

Anyway, here is Drew's membership into the club!  He can officially fit into his Fort Monkey onesie:

Love you aunties!!!

Haha, please ignore his polka dot Target brand diapers!  :)

Be Very Quiet...I am Hunting Wabbits...

In typical red neck fashion, my kid has a camo onesie.  He actually has a couple of camo outfits and his dad is so proud to see them on him!  Now, all we need to get him is some Nascar gear and we'll be all set!  I am actually pretty surprised he doesn't have any Dale Jr. onesies yet.  Shocked actually.  :)

It's a good thing Drew looks cute in just about anything!  Hey daddy and grandpa Todd, I am ready to go hunting with you! 

 













Momma, don't forget to pack my similac!!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

For my dad's birthday, we went and celebrated at his favorite pizza joint, Uno's.  It was a very yummy dinner...they really do have the best pizza ever!  And so you would think that I would have gotten a picture of Drew with his grandpa on his birthday.  Big Fail.  I am really sucking big time at taking pictures.  I really need to get better about it!!

I did manage to grab a pic of Drew with his most favorite auntie in the world though!  The flash on my phone went off and he was a little dazed but so cute, nonetheless!  :)

Another Big Day!

Drew rolled from his back to his tummy today!

He can now roll both ways!  Such a big boy!  I am so glad we decided to stop swaddling a few weeks back.  I am sure it's just a matter of time before he is rolling over to find a more comfortable position in his crib.

Such a big boy!

Pictures of eating cereal are coming soon and we are moving on to oatmeal, veggies and fruit!  Big times!
