daddy and sweet pea in the snow

Since I never go outside and play with her... she was able to talk hubby into one saturday morning. It's an amazing thing because he hates the cold... I just use the excuse of an infant inside sleeping and I'd hate to have to let him cry if I were outside :)

I think we'll have a tom-boy on our hands... two of her loves are her green jammies and this snowsuit, both from her friend Sammy. Oh, sammy is a boy :) I'm OK with a tom-boy though... it's OK if she's not a cheerleader when she grows up.

He's so cute!

This was taken a few weeks ago... he either hadn't started eating yet or just got cleaned, he's rarely that clean while sitting in his highchair!

I was looking for a similar picture of sweet pea (we have quite a few head-shots of her... a project hubby worked on when she was peanut's age)... but I couldn't find it. I guess that's the down-side of having more than one computer???

me and my dad :)

Hubby has been messing around with pictures a lot lately and found this great picture of me and my dad. It was possibly taken the summer of 06... I'm not sure, I've owned that shirt for a long time :) and dad has one of every ohio state t-shirt imaginable.

I just thought it was a great picture, so I thought I'd share!

6 month pics

Beautiful brother and sister...

They go from kissing.... to...

"Mom... he's touching me" (and it begins :)

I do feed him... he doesn't always eat his socks :) Well, that's a lie... he's always chewing on them.

As you can see by the thighs... he's well fed.

6 months, already?

So, I asked a friend last week if time flew with kids... she said yes, and it keeps getting faster. Peanut turned 6 months old last monday... wow, 6 months already. It seems that he just started taking regular naps a few weeks ago (wait, he did start taking regular naps just a few weeks ago).

I can't believe how fast time flies... I'm old enough to have 2 kids, one that doesn't stop talking and another that is getting bigger and bigger! Two kids!!! God has trusted me to care for two kids!!! He's crazy :)

Peanut's checkup was uneventful. Hubby had me ask our doctor about things that only men are worried/interested about :) She said things are fine, he's just a little pudgy (her words, not mine), so it doesn't stick out as far!!! Oh... THAT one's going to come back and bite me someday. I can already hear it.... "Mom, did you really have to write that for all to see?". Oh well, my mom has pictures of my brother and me naked in the bathtub together... and some of those outfits she let me wear... and some of those haircuts I got... and that one pair of glasses she let me buy... Is it the mom's job to embarrass their kids?

Soooo, Peanut's healthy and growing rapidly. 18.5 pounds (70something %) and 27 inches, maybe (80something percentile). Can you tell that these numbers don't mean as much to me as they do to hubby. I bet if I asked him right now, he'd remember every number. Infact, he'd probably remember what percentile Sweet Pea was at 6 months!!!

He's sitting up by himself for a few minutes at a time. He then either tips right or left or face plants (he's not so happy when this happens). He hasn't rolled over yet... but the doctor's not worried. She said that it's harder for the chubby babies to roll over (really, she called him pudgy and chubby!).

Last week WAS a crazy week for us though. A space heater we had in Peanuts room, the cord blew in half and caught on fire just a tad (is there such thing as a 'small fire'). We're pretty happy that it happened when we were in his room... actually, that's an understatement... Two days later, I tripped walking down the stairs. Not a big deal except that I was carrying Peanut. That's always been a huge fear of mine since I've had kids... tripping while carrying them. I'm a bit clumsy... yep, me, clumsy. Well, Peanut came out of my arms and did a little head over heal tumble and landed at the bottom. I can't remember much of how we fell... just that it was scarey and we fell. We decided to head into the ER b/c he was crying a bit odd and he was laughing when I tried to tickle him (he's SUPER ticklish). They did a CT scan and found nothing wrong... sent us home with an antibiotic for an ear infection they found. The next morning the bruise/rug burn on his head was almost gone. Hubby got the camera out to try and document the occasion... so when I was ready, he could make fun of me :) Love, yep Love... he really does love me!

But, we're all healthy and happy...

I'll try and get some pics up during nap this afternoon!!!
