Baby Social

Jacob and Austin had a play date today at my friend's house. It was mainly babies ages 4-10 months, but there were 2 toddlers there as well. The boys had a great time playing and socializing. Jake pretty much sat there and stared at the other babies, but hey what else is he suppose to do?! :)

Monkey-N-Around

The boys had a great time at a new place that just opened up near our house called Monkey-N-Around. It is an indoor play area with tons of activities and toys for kids of all ages. We met our play group there and spent two hours being busy bees. The advantage I see to it is the kids crash when they get home! :)

Troublesome Teeth

The past few days have been rough as Jacob cuts his two bottom teeth. There has been a lot of Tylenol, ice water rags, and holding going on here. Hopefully the pressure will be relived as soon as they both cut through completely. It kills me to see my baby in pain. :(

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July this year! Jacob was asleep for the fireworks, but Austin stayed up this year. He was fascinated by all the colors and lights in the sky. He was overwhelmed by how many there were and couldn't call out the colors fast enough. He was awestruck and ended up just saying whoa and wow with his mouth hung open and head up in the air. Way too cute!!

Happy Half Year

Jacob had his 6 month pedi appt today. I can't believe he is already half a year old! Time really does fly by. The pedi could not believe how big he has gotten...not that he started off little or anything. But he sure is a sight to see for a 6 month old. He weighed in at 22.4 pounds and 29 inches long. He is being very consistent on his growth chart being at 95% for weight and off the charts for height. Future line backer and basketball player right here! He is doing great as far as sitting up, crawling backwards (one day he'll decide to go forward), responding to his name, following voices, and recognizing his family. We will start him on solids and see how this goes. He is weaned off of breast milk and takes formula. He transitioned very well...only a few days of constipation. Poor lil guy!

Photography Adventures

For months on end I have been hearing great compliments on my pictures. How I have a good eye, capture the moment, and overall good quality in the pictures. I never though about it too much until one day I decided to try it, take a business leap and see where it takes me. So, I did it! I opened up SunKissed Photography and hope it grows into a beautiful successful business. If you know me well enough, then you know my passion for photography.

Boot

If you know me, then you know how much of a clutz I am. I was walking in the rain coming out of a restaurant (thankfully no kids in my arms) and slipped on the wet pavement. I bruised, scraped, and beat up my left foot pretty bad. We took a detoured trip to the doctor's office who set me up with an orthopedic to place me in a post-op orthopedic boot. :( That's what I get for wearing flip flops in the rain...and being clumsy.
