Family Pic's in Seaside, OR





The entire family!

My adorable parents!

My oldest sister and her family!

My younger sister and her family!

My brother and his family!

The beautiful girl cousins!!!

We had such a great time being all together at the beach - pictures are always hectic but always seems worth it! I'm just sad I didn't take the chance and get James' 6 month shots done there on the beach - what a wasted opportunity - oh well there was so much chaos going on it probably wouldn't of worked anyway!

6 Months already?!?!



6 Month Stats:

Weight: 17lbs 2oz - 50th percentile
Height: 27 1/2 inches - 85th percentile
Head: 16 inches - 20th percentile

He grew so fast these last two months! We can't believe what a chunk he is now, very healthy boy! He is so extremely happy and puts a smile on all of our faces no matter what mood we're in, you just can't help but smile back at him! He is growing up way too fast and I feel like I have to take in every moment of him being a baby b/c before we know it he will be walking and talking back at us! Here are a few of his favorite things:
  • Rolling around all over the room
  • Smiling & Laughing
  • Making funny noises and gurgles w/his mouth
  • Bouncing up and down - he's so ready for a Johnny Jumper
  • Knows his mommy all too well, but only cries for me if he's hungry or tired
  • Laughs at his brother and sister all the time
  • Still loves to be swaddled to sleep but gets his right arm out every time no matter how tight I swaddle him!
  • Eats solids pretty well now, this boy sure loves his food - don't get in his way if he's hungry!
  • Loves hanging out w/daddy, especially watching sports on tv!
  • No matter how upset he is the instant you walk outside w/him he calms right down - loves loves loves the outdoors!
  • So sweet and gentle natured
  • But can definitely throw a good tantrum from time to time
  • Still sleeps through the night and has since 8wks old!
  • Mom still hasn't been able to let him go to his own room at night, but knows it is time..I just can't bare to let him go for some reason...
  • Loves the water - this boy is going to be a swimmer like his mommy I just know it the way he kicks and is so at ease in the pool it's amazing!
  • Has the most beautiful smile and smiles w/his eyes every time :)
