Memorial Day 2011

We had a great time at the lake with our family over Memorial Day weekend! I am so grateful for these times to make precious memories with our kids.

Ah...let the relaxation begin!

Tara and I did a lot of this...pregnancy and baby talk! I am so thankful to be able to walk this road with my baby sister!

Total boy shot

How marvelous are Your works Oh Lord!!!

He is SO handsome...even when he's goofy!

Aunt Lisa, Uncle Tommy, and Mimi Darlin'

Addie hangin' with Aunt Tara, Uncle Tyler, and Macy

Pop and Poppy working a princess puzzle...its very serious

These two had quite a bond

Families of geese stopped by every morning and evening for us to feed them. They even let Addie feed them right out of her hand!

The men hard at work on the shrimp boil! It was delicious!

Macy posed for her portrait

Addie was very interested in Daddy changing the oil

My handsome, tiny guy

Six Months, WHAT?!?

A HALF A YEAR OLD! This kid is crazy sweet! And SO cute :) I am starting to see a precocious little personality! The boy is all over the place! He is the fastest little army crawler you have ever seen, and he WILL get what he wants apparently. He is still a fabulous sleeper (thank you Jesus!) and he is starting to like his solids a little bit more. Today, however, he is boycotting cereal and all fruit, it is veggies only, specifically carrots and peas, yes, crazy. He is sitting on his own, and it is so cute! He has started showing me his anger when we doesn't get what he wants right away, hard not to laugh.

He is still tiny, but he got to come off of his reflux medicine,woo hoo! He weighs in at 14 lbs 11 ozs, placing him in the 5th percentile! Dr. Terk said he is just going to be a little peanut. After seeing how active he was at his appointment, I think he had a better understanding of the amount of calories the kid is burning! Doc said that our goal is to help balance his calories with his activity level, could be challenging. If anything, anywhere in the house makes a peep, he is distracted from nursing, doesn't want to miss a thing! His length is 25.63 inches, 25th percentile, and his precious little head is right about 25th percentile also.

Max brings so much joy to this family. This week, Jett was laying in the floor, and Max took off after him and crawled all the way across Jett's body. Jett got a huge kick out of it...I saw it as a sign of things to come! What fun adventures lie ahead of us!
