6 Months Old

Eli Grant you are 6 months old!!

You are wearing 6 - 9 month clothes and a size 3 diaper. You have 2 teeth with more on the way! You LOVE your baby food! You usually eat two size 2 containers at a time and so far you have tried pears, peaches, apples, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, and corn. Your favorite is oatmeal pear with cinnamon and your least favorite has been peaches. You would only eat them mixed with something else.

You are sitting by yourself but you are still a little wobbly, especially when you reach for something. You are always smiling and a very vocal baby. You love talking to your big sister and brother! 

You only wanted to get your 6 month sticker off this afternoon and wouldn't look at the camera. You succeeded!

You are scooting everywhere and have started getting up on all fours. I feel like you will be crawling soon.

You are such a happy little guy with the cutest smile!

We love you so much Eli!!

Johnny Appleseed Day

Today Cason's class celebrated Johnny Appleseed by dressing up like him and marching through the halls singing the Johnny Appleseed song they learned. Which goes like this:

"Oh the Lord is good to me, and so I thank the Lord for giving me the things I need, the sun and the rain and the apple seed, the Lord is good to me."

Cason practiced several times this past weekend and was ready to go this morning! He was super excited!!

This is his Johnny Appleseed face!

They had to take an apple to school today as well. They are going to do all kinds of apple activities this week.

Toothies

Eli's bottom gums have been swollen for about two months now but on September 9th the first tiny bit of his first tooth finally poked through. We were all super excited for him because those pesky teeth have been driving him nuts!

The next two weeks Eli spent drooling and chewing on anything he could find!

He now has TWO teeth!!

Both of his middle bottom teeth are in. If you look closely in the above picture you can see them.

It took a few tries to get a picture with his new pearly whites showing. The below pictures were my first attempt but Eli was more interested in eating the sticker than taking a picture!

4th Quarter Report Cards (last school year)

Since school started back a few weeks ago, I thought it might be a good idea to document the kids 4th quarter report cards from last school year!

Cason had a great year in Pre-K. He learned a lot and made many new friends!

Emory continues to do well in school and was very excited to earn all A's this year.

5 Month Comparison

I decided to compare the kids five month pictures to see how much they favored each other. They all three have the same nose and eyes! Eli and Cason look so much alike at this age, same smile too!

Eli is on the left and Cason the right.   

5 Months Old

Eli Grant you are 5 months old today!

 You are wearing size 6 months and 6 - 9 months clothes and a size 3 diapers. You are a good eater and so far you have tried cereal, apples, and sweet potatoes. You loved them all!

 You have the sweetest smile and the most precious little laugh.  You are a very happy baby!!

 Your bottom gums are so swollen and your teeth are driving you nuts. You are constantly drooling and usually are chewing on something, including your socks and feet! No teeth have peeked through yet though.

You are almost sitting up all by yourself and seem to get stronger every day! You love watching your big sister and brother and your favorite toy is your cow. He goes everywhere with you! You are such a sweet little boy and give the best kisses! We love you Eli.

Phone Pics from August

We had a onesie overload earlier in the month.

Eli giving his sissy kisses!

Where did my shorts go Mom!?!

Emory at the Messy Olympics a few weeks ago at church. She has slime, shaving cream, and Cheetos on her head. She STUNK but she had lots of fun!

Cason and Eli in their sports pj's.

Cason wanted to take a picture since they both "matched!"

Eli is teething and his frozen teething toys feel real good on his swollen gums.

I cook dinner and Eli chews and watches!
