6 Months Old and a Visit from Grandma!

It's hard to believe my baby is six months old now. It feels like it was only a short while ago that I was pregnant yet somehow he's already six months old. He is a BIG six month old too. Unlike Kristen who was a peanut her entire first year, Timmy is HUGE. Kristen calls him Timmy Big. He had his 6 month appointment and weighed in at 20 pounds 12 ounces. This put him in the 85th-90th percentile for weight, which is pretty big. But his length, oh boy do we have a big one. He was 29 inches long. The doctor said he was off the charts, way off the charts. It's just such a huge change from Kristen as a baby that I can't help but marvel about how big and healthy my boy is. He actually weighs more now than Kristen did at 12 months!

Here is a picture of my big boy on his half birthday.
Napping in his crib, this is a big deal, trust me.

Last week we also enjoyed a visit from Grandma Robin. Kristen was thrilled to spend some quality time with her out of town Grandma and Timmy just soaked up the love. Have I mentioned Timmy is a big cuddlebug, he loves to cuddle. Mike and I weren't very good about taking pictures during her visit, but we did get a few taken just a few hours before we had to drop her off at the airport to go home. We love you Grandma Robin, thank you for coming to visit!

Laughing Baby

There really isn't much cuter than a laughing baby. Please forgive the wild camera work, Mike was holding the camera with one hand and the dog with the other!

Oops, it's been awhile

I'm sorry I haven't been very good at keeping up with the blog lately. I promise I will try and do better. We have had a pretty easy few weeks, nothing too spectacular going on. Timmy sits up pretty well now. He can't put himself in a sit, but if we sit him up he stays up for a little while before losing his balance. Kristen is constantly amazing me with how much she is learning. Mike and I have been working with her on her colors and numbers and she is doing great. Out of the blue she counted to twenty! I haven't managed to get her to repeat that feat though, so who knows if it's something she can do on a regular basis.

I am happy to report that Timothy is finally sleeping in his crib! His crib was recalled and it has taken a very long time for the replacement part to come in. Because of this he has been in his bassinet all the way until this past Monday. He was getting very smushed in there. Thankfully, the parts finally arrived and we were able to get it set up Monday. The transition was very easy. He looks so much more comfortable now that he has room to spread out.

I'll leave you with some of my favorite pictures from the last few weeks and a cute video of Kristen waking up from a nap.

I love this picture! I can't believe how much my sweethearts resemble each other.
Beautiful Kristen
My dad is a Leap Year baby. He turned 65 this year and we had a little family party at Pizza Hut. You can see the birthday boy in the background wearing a goofy hat.
