Yay for Sleep!

Just an exciting note that after nearly 7 months, Baby A slept through the entire night last night from 6pm - 6am. I am so excited! Now, if we can only continue this. This momma just might get her sleep life back, well, sorta!

all the fussiness is worth it!

Poor little guy! He cut both teeth, one day apart. He's not normally a fussy guy, except when he's overly tired. So this past week, he was real fussy, not sleeping great and just hard to please. Friday, woke up with his first tooth! Followed by Saturday morning and here's what we are dealing with.

His first two teeth!

6 months!

Where has the time gone? 6 months has come and gone so fast. My little man is not as little as he once was. He was born early Christmas morning after a very quick labor and delivery. At some point, I'll write out the details, as it was pretty intense and crazy! He was 7lb 1oz when born and now weighs 15lbs and 11oz. He was 19 1/2in tall when born and now 27 3/4in tall. He's tall and skinny! More and more he's starting look more like my husband with adorable features like the way his little ears poke out the side of his head.
I have several nicknames for him that include monkey boy, a definite term of endearment considering my mom called us kids "monkey" kids. Boogie Bear, considering he liked to "boogie" while I would change him. And lastly, Baby Bear.
He enjoys his Baby Einstein Baby Jumper, particularly the "sun" and red fish. He loves to read. His favorite book is "Where is Baby's Belly Button." He squeals when he sees it.
He's such a happy little man that brings so much joy to my heart. I can't imagine not having him be apart of my life. I'm thankful that I'm given this opportunity to be his Mom and to love and care for him.
Here are a few photos of his 6 month shots:

squash!

Tonight we tried acorn squash. Yummy! I first sliced the squash in half, placed it skin side up in a  baking dish with about 3/4 inch of water for about 45 minutes. Once it was soft, I placed it in the Beaba and pureed away! It came out so smooth by adding some additional water.

How did he like it? He was pretty indifferent about it! So the photos were less than exciting. :)
