Civil War & Cookies

So for the civil war game we celebrated by getting together with my side of the family at my Mom's house. It was also her birthday, so it was a perfect way to celebrate her too! While we cheered the Ducks on during the game, we also made cookies. We all brought our favorite dough, baked it, decorated it, then shared it!!! Waaaay fun!

So many big things are happening! Will share more soon! Stay tuned...

Until then... Here are pics of our cute lil Duck fans!!!

Thanksgiving Greetings

What a fun time of year! But what a busy one... too! We have been busy with school, football, conferences, family, and planning our upcoming holidays. This time of year is so much fun and absolutely wonderful!

Happy Early Thanksgiving from our family to yours.

six months...

In some ways it feels like he has been here all along.

And in other ways it feels like time has just flown by way too fast.

It's hard to imagine, but our youngest is already six months old and counting. Actually, technically yesterday, he turned seven months old. 

He is such a charmer. He's very easy going. Happy. Giggly. Funny. An observer. A talker. A babbler. Quick tempered. Not a big napper. {Only takes two naps a day} Favors his Mama. But adores his Daddy. Admires his big brother and big sisters. Loves to jump. Likes to roll. Almost ready to crawl. Enjoys eating fruits and veggies. But still prefers to nurse above all. He is super ticklish. Loves his baths. {such a water baby} And loves to chew, chew, chew. 

He has two bottom teeth. OUCH! And yes, he does bite me. So we are currently working on that, because as of right now, he thinks it's funny, and I do not. :)

He wears 12-18 month size clothing. And wears size 6 diapers. He weighed 23lbs and was 29 inches tall at his six month appointment. He is above the 95% on the charts... so it is very hard to imagine our little guy was a preemie and born five weeks early at that. He obviously was meant to enter our world exactly when he did and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. We can not imagine life with out him.
