6 months!

Stats:
Weight: 24 pounds
Length: 28.5 inches
Size 3 diapers
12 month clothes
Sleeping Pattern: Usually 9pm to 7am...however because of the teething it's 10:30pm to about 6am with cries in the night. :-(
Eating Pattern: 4to5 5oz bottles a day and 2 things of baby food a day (Squash and Sweet Potatoes win hands down)

Milestones: 3 teeth (2 bottom front teeth, 1 top tooth by where the front teeth would be); Can get on all fours!! Got sick for the 1st time. Can hold the bottle all by himself.

Likes:
*Soft blankets
*Rolling/Army style crawling on the floor
*The blinking lights on the modem. Makes me want to rip it from the wall
*Bathtime= Splash time= Mommy getting wet and that's funny
*When Daddy throws me in the air and attacks me because it's funny

Dislikes:
*Teething!! Never wants mommy to let me go when my teeth are acting up!
*Diarrhea. I had my 1st viral infection (lasted 2 days thank goodness)
*Huggies diapers! They are not made for boys! Pampers all the way! No accidents on myself in the middle of the night.
*Diaper changing time, I just want to flip and Mommy doesn't let me

So much has gone on with him this past month! We really are hitting milestones left and right. Teeth being number 1. UGH. Make long nights. However now he can hold the bottle himself so that does make feeding time easier. I can pop in the bottle and get to doing something else....cleaning, washing, restocking. Always something.

We were at the doctor yesterday and then all the sudden he pops to his knees and the doc goes "OH MY! Yes he's going to be crawl very VERY soon!" I was like no hes never done that before! AH how exciting!! Luckily he's an active baby so that weight will drop as soon as he figures out how to crawl, so the doc isn't worried about it.

So on that note, I leave with pictures....I made the little outfit he's wearing. Its DEFINITELY to big for him, I might add a buttons to bring in the sides. When I was making it I just didn't want to make it too small and did the opposite. OOPS. Oh well he still looks cute in it. I LOOOOOOOOOVE HIM SOOOOO MUCH! MY WORLD.

Now daddy just needs to get home from his baseball game. Mommy has to go pick up some peaches. Cookbook club Tuesday and I need to bring a dish with peaches.









These were shot after the doctor appt. He was PASSED OUT!

2nd tooth

One day I will get a picture of this, but its hard to do when all Aiden wants to do is chew on your finger as you open his mouth.

But we have a 2nd tooth!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAH!

It's to the right of the 1st tooth. Yah for having his bottom front teeth. Well they aren't all the way out, but definitely are getting there. Poor baby! Only 18 more to go. :-(

We have ourselves a CHOMPER!

Puppy Love

Tonight's plan: Movie time with the hubby and munkin. YAH! Fantastic Mr. Fox. I heard good reviews on this, thanks to Regina and Netflix it's possible for me to see it too!

During my lunch break today I got the cutest fabric to make Aiden a John John. Thanks to my free pattern from Prudent Baby! That's the weekend's project while Wes is playing his baseball games. Nap Time=Craft Time! It's white background with red, yellow, royal blue dinos. PRECIOUS! This is my first time to attempt, so hopefully it will be a success!

Speaking of fabrics....HELLO WHY IS MINKY FABRIC SOOOO EXPENSIVE?!?! I am on the hunt to find it under $12 please! GEEZ! I want that to be the backing to a blanket I'm going to make.

This friday is Aiden's 6 month doctor appt. WOW!
So since baby boy is SOO active now I can't just leave him on the blanket and walk away anymore. He has this weird obsession with the router (blinking lights) and likes to tug on it. So last night while I was cooking delicious steaks & green beans baby boy was in his highchair. Being Adorable!! He kept laughing, smiling, drooling on Murphy. PRECIOUS! It was making me laugh. They will soon be good friends. I even caught some cute pictures of the two

WHY HELLO THERE MURPH

MURPH BEING THE PROTECTOR

HEY WHERE ARE YOU GOING FRIEND?

WHATCA GOT THERE? A TOY I CAN CHEW ON?

HEY THAT TICKLES! I CAN'T SEE YOU WHEN YOU LICK MY FEET

Jelly

Yesterday Erica, Regina, Jane, Chris, and myself were jelly making machines! We made raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, strawberry pepper, and raspberry pepper. They were AMAZING!!!!! So much better than store bought.

I'm giving some to my coworkers. Perfect Christmas gifts! I'm giving some to my mom. I think she would love the blueberry jelly. Now I just need to find somewhere to store it all. lol Probably in the cabinet with all the dead space.

Aiden came with me and enjoyed being with all the girls. He did however want mommy to hold him practically the whole time and fought himself when it came to nap time. He was still good as always, but my arms got a WORKOUT!! During lunch time he was amazed with the plastic covering on Chris' table. Keep kicking his feet to hear it crinkle. Silly boy!

Man the past two days I have had soo much sleep 10-8 yesterday and 9-7 today. OMG, but I've just been soo tired! Today is definitely cleaning day! Lots of laundry to do and vacuuming/dusting. So I leave with some cute pictures I look of Aiden's snuggle time and the promised pictures of some of the cute outfits I got the other day.
