Prunes

Prunes are definitely good for one thing. They will make you go in a big way! Timmy has had some big BM's. If I hadn't been on top of it with changing him when they happened they would have probably come out of his diaper. I know, TMI (too much information), but hey it's part of what comes with being a parent. I told Scot if people wouldn't get grossed out I would take a picture for everyone to see. Too bad you wouldn't be able to put the smell in a picture.

Anyhow, I said all that to say this, I think that we are going to hold back on the prunes unless he really needs them and move on to carrots. I'm sure he will like those better. He hasn't hated the prunes but you can tell that they aren't his favorite and why should I make him eat something that I would never eat myself anyways?! Makes sense, right?!

6 Month Checkup and Other News

Timmy had his 6 month checkup today. He got his shots. He did better this time around with them than he did at his four month check. Because we are heading into Flu season we went ahead and did the Flu shot as well.

Timmy is now weighing 16 lbs. 4 3/4 oz. and he's 26 1/2 inches long. He is right where he is suppose to be on the growth chart. Timmy is doing great and the doctor is pleased with his growth.

Other news that you might be interested in is that Timmy is eating more foods now. We have him on rice cereal, bananas, sweet peas, and prunes now. Next we will be trying carrots but that won't be for another week.

We are so proud of how well our little boy is doing.

Anniversary

We celebrated our 2nd anniversary today. My mom watched Timmy while we went out to dinner at Rio Churrascaria. It's a Brazilian restaurant. They bring the meat out on skewers. It is a fantastic place to eat. We don't go there as often as we'd like but it's one of our fav's. If you've never been there and you live in the area give it a try sometime. If you love to eat meat you will love this restaurant.

6 Months Old Today

"I'm 6 months old today and I got to spend this evening with my Maw Maw."

Charlie and Dexter

Daddy playing with his boys last night.

Dexter says, "Give me my toy back." Charlie is saying, "No way!"

Here Dexter is getting closer to getting it from Charlie. He sure gives Charlie a run for his money so to speak.

Our New Addition

"Who am I? I am Dexter. I am 11 weeks old and a bundle of energy or so they say. I have quite the personality. I love playing with my new big friend Charlie."

"Who am I? I am Charlie, the big dog, and I'm going to teach Dexter everything I know. Dexter is going to be a good student and be a good dog for my Mommy and Daddy."

I have found my feet!!!

We took this right after bath time tonight.

"What is this? 1-2-3-4-5 wiggly things. Hmmmmm, I have 1-2-3-4-5 wiggly things that I put in my mouth all the time. Now how am I going to get these wiggly things in my mouth???"

Da-Da-Da-Da-Da

Timmy is saying DaDaDaDaDa now. He started saying it the evening before last. I know that he doesn't understand what he is saying yet but it is so cute that he is saying it. The first time he said it he got this look on his face like where did that sound come from but now that he knows that he can make that sound he loves saying it. He said MaMaMaMaMa once but he hasn't repeated that sound again so I think that one was an accident. This one he is doing a lot now so I know it's not an accident. It is so exciting to hear him make that sound.

I Love Fall

Here's a beautiful Fall picture. I swiped it from one of my friends on facebook.

Aunt Gina, Cousin Tristan, and Timmy

We took these pictures after Church on Sunday night (Nov. 2nd).

"What's that thing my cousin is holding? Can I get that in my mouth?"
Tristan is holding a sippy cup. It won't be long before Timmy is drinking out of a sippy cup.

Timmy is watching his Cousin Tristan while his Aunt Gina is loving on him. Awwwwww!

Gina is sitting back relaxing while Tristan and Timmy are on her. I'm not sure what Timmy is looking at in this picture but it has his full attention?!
