He's half a year old...whoa!!!


So it's been 6 months already!! Crazy!! Where has the time gone?? He's doing great by learning to eat new foods (well we've only given him sweet potatoes & green beans on top of the cereal)! He loves the sweet potatoes but not so wild about the green beans though it could just be the texture of the green beans that he doesn't like! His digestive system is still getting use to the food introduction so we've been slow at introducing another food! If it wasn't said in a previous blog (sorry if it was already) but we're making our own baby food for him! It's rewarding to us knowing that we're making his food & it's not just coming from a jar (not that there's anything wrong with that & I know we'll have to use the jars when we're on vacations & stuff) plus it's waaaaaaay cheaper than buying th jars! I can make 30+ servings (1tbls per cube) for the price it would cost me to buy one or 2 jars (depending on the food being made)!!
He's still working on sitting up on his own but he's got (& has had) great head control & when he's on his tummy he shows it! He can't quite do a "push up" but he can push up using his elbows!! He's trying to scoot across the floor so crawling can be very soon!! He's been teething for a while but I'm almost positive we should be seeing teeth very soon!! He's been drooling more than before & he's been chewing on EVERYTHING that gets near his mouth or in his hands!!
Ayden is babbling up a storm & saying something that sounds like momma but I know it's just him working on his sounds right now & it doesn't mean anything at the moment! He's also got quite the personality & he definitely knows how to get your attention!! Some days I just sit & watch him play because it's waaaay more entertaining than anything you could possibly see on TV!!! LOL
Sorry there are soooooo many pictures but that's what happens when I don't update for 2 months!! YIKES! Time flies so fast that he's already another month old by the time I have time to write the blog! I will try to get the next one done next month!! NO PROMISES THOUGH!!!
Till then enjoy the pictures from 5/6 months!!!




He loves this bouncer!!


He loves his sister too!!
Playing on the floor
Time to eat!!!
Watching TV with Taylor
Laying in bed with mommy!!
This is what happens when Taylor feeds him!
Went out of town & it was cold enough for his snow
suit
Taylor was watching tv & when she looked down
she found him like this!
Went in to get him from a nap & found him
like this!
He loves to lay in bed with mommy!

He's trying to grow up too fast!!
He really loves to watch tv with his sister!
He wants Taylor's fries!!

He likes sitting at the table with us!

Awww cuddling with his sister!
He discovered his feet & now he can't stop
playing with them!!
His smile melts my heart!

Look at that head control!!
Sitting in daddy's recliner!

He was throwing a fit due to the fact that he
ate all his sweet potatoes but as soon as he saw
the camera he stopped crying!
He's itching to do it himself!
Mmmmm SWEET POTATOES!!!

He LOVES SWEET POTATOES!!

Learning to sit up





He's an AWESOME drummer!

Father's day

So Jeremy's first father's day was a great one!! Though his gift hadn't been shipped yet because I had ordered it earlier that week & there was no option for express shipping or anything to get it here fast enough (though we had the best of book that I could "re-gift" him so he knew what he was getting...I just wrote it on a post-it & stuck it to the book we already had)! We bought him the America's Test Kitchen complete TV show cookbook with recipes in it from 2001 to 2010 including the 2010 dvd set!! We love watching that show & if you ever get the chance it's on PBS (it on here around 2ish)!! It's very informative & detailed not to mention they test various products & tell you which one they thought was best!! Anyway...back to the day!! We slept in & did the gift thing & went out for the day...we were going to do our normal Sunday thing & have lunch at the Village Inn but it was soooooo late in the day we decided to go to head out to Sam's Club (had to go there anyway) & we had lunch there (Jeremy LOVES the hot dogs & pretzels there)!! We later went to Sushi Creek for dinner though we were so full still from lunch that we didn't eat a lot of sushi...though what we did eat made us soooo full that we were miserable for the night! Jeremy's gift FINALLY showed up last week!! I haven't yet taken pictures of it yet but as soon as I do I will post it! So yeah, it was a great day & I really hope he enjoyed his first father's day!! Enjoy the pictures!!
