No more SQUASH!!!


Christopher recently started eating solids... if you can call very runny rice cereal a solid. I thought I would try one of the more unappealing flavors first as we ventured a little further than rice, since his palate is fresh maybe he wouldn't mind eating squash since he didn't know any better. Well, I was wrong. I was given many wonderful faces as we tried to eat the squash, a lot of this tastes icky shivers and most of it getting spit out. In the end, after one of the last couple of bites I tried to give him he shot me the "NO MORE SQUASH," face that you're witnessing here. I couldn't pass up posting it.

6 Months!!



Christopher was 6 months on the 12th. I waited to do his update post until he had his well check today. He's been great, sitting up like a champ, cooing and babbling up a storm (especially at 6 am over the monitor,) he even started eating rice cereal on Saturday. His grabby little hands can pretty much get anything within a two foot radius and we've learned to clear the area before setting him down anywhere. He also enjoys being outside and watching Maddie run around the yard, and watching Kiro inside (Kiro has lost a few tufts of fur to the little mister already.) Everyday he changes just a little bit, but he's always cute and always cuddly. He's even starting to play shy for the girls. We're going to have our hands full, that's for sure.

At his well check we got his currents stats too!!
Height: 26", up from 24.8" at his 4 month well check and 23.3" at his 2 month. This puts him in the 30 percentile.
Weight: 17lbs 6oz, up from 15lbs 6oz at his 4 month well check and 11lbs 1oz at his 2 month. This puts him in the 46 percentile.

Remote Hog!!

I took this very cute picture of Christopher not to long ago. He never ceases to make me laugh, of all the toys he has to play with he chooses to eat the remote more often than not. He gave me this look when I asked him when I could have the remote back.

Wedding Bells

Two good friends of mine (Erin and Caleb) from college (and Minnesota) got married this weekend. It was amazing to see all of the individuals I had not seen in years. So many had families and have been so successful, others just stayed the same and it was like I had seen them just yesterday. I wish Caleb and Erin all the happiness in the world.

Now it is time to get back to my family which I miss so very much. It seems like I have been gone forever even though it has only been a week. Time to get rid of this traveling job and be home more.
