Playtime This Morning

Here are some pictures from playtime this morning.

Timmy loves having all his toys around him.

"Which one do I want to play with first?"

"I think I will play with my butterfly. It makes neat sounds that I like."

Snow!!!

We had snow flurries earlier today. It didn't last long but it sure was exciting to see. Here's a picture of the snow that my friend, Deanna Laughinghouse, took. It sure would be nice if we get to see a White Christmas this year?!

Reaching

Timmy has toys on the tray of his high chair. Tonight for the first time Timmy reached for them and got one. He picked it up and sat back in his chair as if it was a normal thing to do and started playing with it. It was so cool to see him do that. We cheered him on and are so proud of him. I'm hoping the next time he does that I can catch it on camera so all of you can see it too?!

More on shots

I forgot about these pictures. These were taken at the Peds office the day he got his shots.

Shots

We have been blessed that Timmy hasn't been fussy or ran a fever from his shots up until now. This is the first time that we have had to deal with him being fussy and running a fever from his shots. He has wanted to be close to me and I've let him. I can't believe he wasn't fussy or had a fever the other times he got shots?! I mean, he fussed when he got them but that was it. They poke him four times in his legs. It's awful to have to watch :'-( but he needs his shots so it must be done. Some people spread their kids shots out over several visits but I think that is more torture than just getting it over with in one visit. Of course the draw back to doing them all at once is that they can tend to be more fussy which has been the case this time. Thank God for Tylenol! It helps a lot when they are fussy and running a fever from their shots.

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.
