Remington is 6 Months Old!

This smiley little guy had his half birthday yesterday, he's 6 months old!

Once again, the weather was on the gloomy side, which is odd because it was really nice the day before. But that's ok, we spent the morning at church, Remi now is old enough for the nursery, and had a nice afternoon at home.

He hasn't been a big fan of naps the past few weeks and seems to wake up at 2:30 pm no matter what time I put him down. So, instead of fighting it, I've learned to embrace it and just plan on a little extra cuddle time and sometimes we will nap together.

Remi loves tags and pulling hair. (Such a little brother thing to do)

For not being able to crawl, he's pretty mobile; pivoting on his stomache and pushing himself backwards, which is never really where he intends to go.

Big Boy started solid foods this month; rice cereal, apples, pears and sweet potatoes.

"What up yo?"

He looks like a combination of my Dad, Brother and Nephew here. 

Remi's a busy little guy, never sitting still and very curious about the world about him. We love watching him learn new things and his laugh is contagious. 

Happy Half Birthday Buddy!

We love you.

Check out months, 1 through 5 here.

And because it's fun looking back, heres what Addy was up to at 6 months.

Five for Friday

1. You've given me multiple pep talks over last couple weeks and they always help

2. You cherish the quality time you and Addy have together when she's not acting like a you kniw what

3. You're a much better cook than, I really don't know why I even try

4. The song, "I Wanna Be Your Friday Night" makes me think of our champagne Fridays

5. Thanks for leading our family in praying  and reading the word more.

P.S. I wanna be your jackpot, sweet spot, wide open road In a candy apple tag top. 😉

P.P.S. Thanks for bringing home pretty pink flowers, made my week!

Remington is 5 Months Old

Our little guy turned five months old and celebrated his first Christmas all in the same week.

Needless to say it was a busy week for us and I only managed to snap a few photos in between packing and cleaning. (We spent te holiday out of town).

Here are a few facts about our little mister:

He's busy and curious, never content to just sit in someone's lap anymore. He likes to be spread out on the floor where he can work on his rolling. He rolls onto his stomach as soon you lay him down but isn't quite yet rolling all over the room. 

He thinks he wants to sit up and is working on his abs, lifting his upper body to see what is going on. 

He's also starting to act like he might want some real food pretty soon but I'm holding him off as long as possible. I'm just not ready for that milestone quite yet.

He's very easily distracted when it comes to eating, especially by his older sister, so we usually retreat to his room to nurse by ourselves.

He got his own room this month! He's such a big boy and we all feel a little more normal without a baby living in our closet.

His favorite people are Addy and his cousin Carter. Seriously though, you just say Carter's name and Remi starts to crack up. Sweet, sweet cousins. 

Everett and Remi still don't know what to think of each other quite yet. I'm sure they will be good buddies.

Next month he will be half a year old. Half. A. Year. Where has the time gone? 

Happy Five Months Remington!

Six for Sunday

1. You made some yummy potato cakes on Christmas morning

2. Thanks for the moose head and the wallet and the pjs! You did good 😉

3. I love how you talk things out with me and share what's on your mind

4. Your focus this Christmas was making sure our focus was on Christ. Thanks for leading our family in that way

5. Thank you for working hard for your family this year. 

6. Here's to another year of fun family memories of growing together and learning to love better. 

P.S. I love you :)

'Tis the Season

Tis the season for watching the snow fall in your pjs,

for kid's vanilla steamers with a straw,

for sleepy snuggles and warm hats.

Tis the season for looking back on blessings from years before.

Tis the season for overindulging,

for sweet lil' bald spots

and for busy, messy houses.

Tis the season to read by the fire side,

or play under the tree.

Tis the season for making memories and starting new traditions.

This has been a busy holiday season for us this year. Even during the business, I think we've done a better job this year than ever before on staying true to the real meaning for the season, thanks to our sweet two year old and her love for the story of baby Jesus. I'm so thankful for her active mind that's so willing and eager to learn. 

We've had a busy month, our calendar is full but so are our hearts.
