6 Month check up

Friday afternoon I took Holden to his 6 month check up! We had had a great morning and we had gone to lunch with my Mom and my friend Carrie and her daughter Abagail, who is 7 weeks older than Holden. After lunch we header over to Holden's doctor's appointment. I think every time he goes he is always hungry and tired when we get there and we are always running late. This appt not only did we make it on time but early! So we were in and out pretty fast!

Holden is doing wonderful! Here are his stats for 6 months:

Weight: 17 lbs 9 oz {65 percentile- much better than the 32% at 4 months}

Height: 27 and a half inches {82 percentile}

He is doing just wonderful! This picture was hen we were waiting on the doctor to come in... it was also before the dreaded shots.

He slept on the way home and for two hours after we got home but this is how I found him when I was getting him out of the car. Maybe he is afraid his foot might just fall off! HA!
This was from the 16th when we had to run to the store for my Mom! Silly boy! He was trying to eat them instead of wear them!
This picture was from earlier today. Such a sweet boy!

Happy 6 Month Birthday Holden!!

I can't believe it..... my sweet, precious, perfect baby boy is SIX months old! Where is time going?! It doesn't feel like I just had him but it also feels like we have had him here forever. I can't even remember what life was like with out him. He is changing SOO much every day and is such a happy baby. You wouldn't believe it by his pictures lately, but he laughs and smiles all the time! And then you get the camera out and that is all over! Holden, here is a little of what you are up to at 6 months:

You are wearing size 3-6 month clothes...sometimes...sometimes 6-9 .....it really depends on the outfit.... 0-3 month shorts STILL but some 3-6 month ones are now starting to fit you! You're also still wearing 6-9 month sleepers and size 2 diapers.

You are now rolling from your belly to your back and up to today you would only do this in your bed! Today for the first time you did it when I was playing with you on the floor! Way to go big boy! You are also scooting all over the place.... but only in your bed.
You can sit up for approximately 0.7 seconds then ya fall over. We're still working on that! Ha!

You eat food like a champ! You LOVE to eat.... except for when it comes to your bottle{unless it is 4am of course. Then you will drink a bottle like we have never fed you before}

You eat food three times a day and I try and give you a bottle of anywhere between 4-6 oz as much as I can but I also give it to you in your rice or oatmeal so I am not too worried about it. You are getting bigger every day and I know you are doing wonderfully!

I think this might be one of my favorite pictures of you : )

You still LOVE your paci and blanket and we don't go anywhere without both!

I think you might be a blue eyed boy! Those blue eyes are hanging around and you are starting to get some more hair!

Drool bug. Ned I say more? You drool all the time and love to chew on anything you can get your hands on!

You also LOVE your toes and are always holding on to them! You have a little blister on your toe in this picture because this week at Nana and Papa's house you jumped in Campbell's monkey jumper like crazy! You love that thing and we are going to have to get you a Johnny Jumper for our house!

Holy Moses do you love baths and water! All the sudden your favorite thing to do is splash like crazy and kick in the bath! The power was out at Nana and Papa's last night and we put you in the sink and just let you splash and you loved it!

You love to "flirt" with girls or anyone who will pay attention to you! You have started making this fake cough kind of sound like you are talking to someone and it is so funny!

You love Hoochie{our cat} and Nana and Papa's dogs! He actually grabbed Hoochie's head today and tried to eat her ear! She is the best laid back, scared of people cat and just laid there and let him do it! We had a long talk after about how we don't eat cats.

Holden you are the biggest blessing that we could ever have asked for. You get more and more fun every day and you have the best personality! I love you so much Holden!

Well hello there

Well hello there! We have been quite busy over the past week and haven't been home since Friday. My Mom had a little surgery and we have been staying at her house since Friday just to help out around the house. She is doing great now and tonight we will be back at home. But in the meantime, here are a few pictures from my phone of our sweet boy.

This picture cracks me up! He has such a funny personality and is such a happy boy!
This was Holden while we were in the waiting room on Friday during Mom's surgery. And yes I gave him a french fry. And of course he loved it!! I think he may be getting teeth soon, even thought I don't see or feel anything, so he just would chew on a hard one and I think it felt good.

And this made me soooo excited{And Holden too}! I have been checking online all the time for his monkey blankets to come back. Every time I would look they would say "out of stock" online and in stores. And finally last week I looked one day and found them! I was so excited and ran to the store and got him two more! I picked them up and showed them to him and I think he was so excited too!

Because two is better than one...

....Make that three! Holden loves his blankets so much and when I went in to get him from his nap the other day he had one in each hand and one at his feet! Silly boy! He likes to hold onto them so I lay them on the sides of his bed and one on him while he is napping and this day he found them all!

We are having lots of fun just the two of us hanging out this summer! So far we haven't done too much except for hang around the house napping, eating ,doing laundry and lots of playing! That's pretty much our whole day. Hope that you all are having a great week!

Photo Shoot # 493

Now that I am home for the summer, Holden and I have lots of time on our hands for a few weeks! So why not take a few or a hundred pictures of this sweet boy! HA! Here are a few from this morning!

This book The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry and The Big Hungry Bear was my favorite when I was little and the same copy that my Mom used to read us! I was showing it to Holden this morning and I think he likes it already!

This picture is so funny! Jack is a huge Florida Gators fan and I am a Georgia Bulldogs fan! I put out both of these this morning and he loved the Gators football because it would play music.....

.... and he loved the Bulldog because it was so soft.....

.... but I don't think he is ready to choose yet! lol! He just kept looking at me then at both of them then pulled them both to his face and started crying! Ha! Maybe we will try again in a year or so!

I love how this one turned out

Reading

Look UGA I'm sitting up!

I LOVE that I got one of him sitting up and looking at me even if he did fall over as soon as I snapped the picture!

Movin on up!

So we have made the big move all the way down the hall! This sweet boy still fit in his cradle but it way too squirmy for it now. Now that he is rolling over from his belly to his back {only in his bed} and scooting {once again only in his bed is this fun}it was time to move to his room and sleep in his crib. This was how I woke up to find him one day last week.

Hey Mommy I think I may start trying to get out of this thing!

This picture cracks me up because he is getting a little belly. I guess it's all the food he loves to eat and not take his bottle hardly at all anymore. Oh well except for the middle of the night of course! HA! He was watching TV while I was getting ready

And now in his big boy bed!

Hey Mommy I'm awake!

Holden you are such a big boy and growing up so fast! We love you!

Oh Chick-Fil-A you've done it again!

Last night Jack, Holden and I went to Chick-Fil-A to try the new spicy chicken sandwich and can I say it was awesome! I reserved two for us a few weeks ago for last night and I know that Jack wouldn't eat it but I got it so I could have it for lunch the next day. So I can't wait to eat it for lunch! Ha!

While we were there Holden started getting fussy since he was ready for a nap and if he can see us he thinks he needs to be held. And for the most part whenever we go in a restaurant we get him out of his car seat and pass him back and forth. I need to get him one of those things that goes over the high chair so he can have his own seat. But anyways, he was getting tired so we tried to give him a french fry. Jack was worried about him chocking but I didn't even think he would put it in his mouth. And he didn't. But Jack gave him another one to try and I'm not sure how crazy he was about it. If he didn't look just like his Daddy I wouldn't be sure he is really my child because I love french fries! HA!
