6 Months Old

"Mommy, make time slow down!"

I am a week behind but my baby boy turned six months old last Monday.  Time is really flying by.  He was not happy when I took these pictures, but it is what it is.  I was not trying again, LOL!

Colyn, here is what you are up to these days:

• You weight 15 lbs. 14 oz. and are 26 1/2 inches long.  You are smaller then brother was at this age which I thought was funny because you LOVE to eat. 
• You wear size 3 diapers and some 3-6 and 6-9 month clothes.
• You are scooting in circles and you want to crawl so bad.
• You sit up for a few minutes now and then will eventually fall to your belly, it scares me but you will get more coordinated in those moves.
• Dr. Bill says you have a tooth on the top that is getting ready to cut.
• You are blabbing all the time and we think you have said Da-Da but not 100% sure that's what it was.
• You are eating stage 2 baby food and formula right now.  We will try stage 3 soon.

When we went to the doctor this past week you had another ear infection in the same (left) ear.  Dr. Bill put you on a stronger antibiotic that will hopefully knock it out and we will check back up with him next week.  I hope this goes away so you do not have to eventually get tubes. 

You are such a happy baby (minus these pictures, LOL) and Daddy, Jacob and I love you so much.  We can not wait to see what your next big accomplishment will be.

Forever Friends

This past weekend I was honored to be a part of my oldest friend, April's wedding.  She and I have been friends since we were 2.  We have gone through so much through the years and even though we were not always in the same crowds growing up and went months without talking to each other in college and after, we still always managed to pick right back up where we left off.  I was so sad when she could not be a part of my wedding because she had a commitment in grad school the same weekend and could not in any way get out of it.  But, I am so glad I still got to be a part of hers. 

April, I love you girl!  You were a beautiful bride and thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day.  Here are more pictures from the weekend.

  

I will be back to update about the boys.  I hope everyone has a Happy 4th of July!

My Little Men

I can't ever get them to both look at the same time, but I could eat them up!  I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday.

Look Who's Sitting Up

And scooting in circles and going backwards...

This little man!

Father's Day

We had a great Father's Day this past Sunday.  We ate way too much but enjoyed all the time spent with our families.  We went to lunch with Jarred's family at Jim 'N Nicks followed by dessert at his parents house.  I of course ate way to much and really wanted to take a nap. 

After spending some time over at Nana and Papa's we went to my parent's house.  There we just chilled on the couch for most of the afternoon.  We then proceeded to eat again, this time my favorite, Seafood and Chicken Box.  I absolutely love their chicken!  Jacob spent most of his time playing outside with his Buzz Lightyear sprinkler.  It was time to go when he decided to squirt Colyn and me, we were soaked.

I am so blessed to have a wonderful Daddy, husband and Father-in-law.  They are all wonderful men and mean so much to me.  My Daddy and Jarred's dad are such great grandfathers and love my boys like no tomorrow.  And Jarred, you are a wonderful father.  Jacob looks up to you so much (Colyn will too one day) and wants to do everything that you are doing.  You are his hero.  Colyn loves to hear his Daddy's voice and always looks at you and grins from ear to ear.  I love these moments with our boys and am so thankful to have you in my life and to call you my husband and father of my children.  I love you!

Okay, sorry for getting so sentimental.  I hope everyone has a great weekend, tomorrow is Friday!

Busy Summer

I guess it is about time for me to update this here blog.  Since I last posted I have been to a birthday party for Jacob's girlfriend, a play with some of my best friends, Atlanta to see two of my other best friends, the beach for my oldest friends bachelorette party and girl's night out with some of those same friends.  Not to mention working and being a mother and wife.  It has been a busy few weeks. 

I love summer but it is non stop.  There is always something going on.  I guess the older my boys get the more there will be to do.   I know it is only going to get busier as the years go by.  It is so nice to take time to spend with friends though, so we can all unwind and relax every now and then.  I think every mother needs this!  Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!  Have a great week!

Afternoon Conversation

The following is a conversation I had with Jacob yesterday afternoon.

Jacob:  "Why are the trees and bushes in the road?"

Me:  "They're beside the road buddy."

Jacob: "Why?"

Me:  "Well, that is where God put them."

Jacob:  "God?"

Me:  "You know, Jesus' daddy."

Jacob:  "How can we see God?"

Me:  "You'll see him when you go to Heaven."

Jacob:  "I want to go to Heaven and eat cake!"

Me:  "Okay buddy, when you go to Heaven one day I'm sure you can have lots of cake."

I love the mind of a three year old!
