vacation

I found this rental house in NJ...$2,000/wk. I thought it might be a good point that we could drive into DC if we wanted or go to NY even.

Christmas

6 months

I know this is a little late…time is going by so fast! We weighed him the other day and he is about 16 1/2 lbs. He is getting the hang of sitting up all on his own :)

Rolling Over

6 months

We took his pictures a little early because I wanted to send everyone pictures at Christmas. Here are the pictures that we got taken today.

Wish List

So I found these shoes at Sierra Trading Post and resisted buying them but I think I may go back and get them at some point…

I also found this couch sack which would be wonderful for those cold snowy days.

My little snow monkey

So we had our first snow on Th. night and we got about 4 inches. This was Adam's first snow and Nana and Grandpa got him a monkey snow suit so we took some pictures in the snow.

This is the back of the snow suit...

This one is for Donna...

This is Adam with Grandma Kanten

Aquarium

Halloween

I made these bags for Jarrod and Brennan...they turned out really cute and are so easy to make. All I used was brown lunch bags and then covered them with scrapbook paper and made handles out of ribbon.

On Halloween we went down to Eaton to see the family and go to the church carnival that they had for kids.

*He has been rolling over regularly since Halloween and he is just about ready to sit up all by himself. I forgot to post earlier about his doctor appt. he is 15lbs 7oz and 25 3/4 inches long now. He is eating baby food...he likes bananas, applesauce, and applesauce w/rice cereal.

Broncos

Here is Adam in the Broncos outfit that Nana and Grandpa gave him. Always has to have the tongue out :)

 

Haircut

I got my haircut yesterday...she cut a lot off but I really like it.

House

So we got our doors installed yesterday and they look so much better than our old doors. Now we just need to do some painting since everything is white.

And...Leevi got the TV he wanted

Adam

I have been slacking on the pictures of Adam so I only have a couple to put up but Anne requested them so here they are...

On Friday we will be going to the doctor so I will post and let everyone know his new stats!

House

So with Leevi's new position at the Fire Dept. we have been able to make some small changes to the house. We will be getting new doors installed on Friday and I can't wait! The only thing I have a picture of right now is our new entertainment center...a big improvement from our nightstand that the TV was sitting on.

 

I was a little worried about how it would look since I ordered it but I love it and there are a few more pieces that match that I would like to get :)

Toes, Sitting, & Eating

Over the last week or so Adam has found his toes, started giggling, rolled over a couple of times, and is sitting supported. I just can't believe how quickly he is changing!

He loves watching his mobile!

His new toy from Nana & Grandpa Bird

His new Bumbo chair which he loves to sit in!

We started giving him some rice cereal but he is not too sure about it yet. Yesterday morning when I was feeding him he sneezed and cereal went everywhere!

Big Boy

He is getting so big and he loves to sit up so I put him in his high chair quite a bit so he can see everything

We didn't know what to do with our front room so Adam gets a whole room just for his toys...we haven't moved everything in here yet.

My boys having some fun

This was after his bath tonight
