I'm 6 months old now

Well, I made it to the 6 month mark! My mom can't believe it. She wants to know where her little baby went. I have been moving all over the place the last couple of weeks and I am wishing I could move more. I have my leg work figured out, but I have not quite figured out the upper body part. I have been working on the rug burn on my nose from planting my face into the carpet as I move. I am everywhere, except the blanket where mom wants me to be. I had my doctors appointment this past week and I am 16 lbs, 27.5 inches. I got an A+ in everything but sleeping. The doctor told mommy that I need to learn how to fall asleep by myself. Sooo....Friday night I started trying. I actually am doing pretty well. Friday night it only took about 20 minutes and I slept all night. Last night I fell asleep at the street dance so I didn't get to work on it. For my nap today mommy made me try and it took about 10 minutes. Mommy told my babysitter to work on it with me too, so I will be a pro in no time. The whole reason behind this is that I wake up too many times during the night and I need to learn how to put myself back to sleep. Fine! You say you want your baby back, yet you are making me learn big boy things. I DON'T GET IT! I love going to Aja's during the day...she is my new girlfriend! There is so much going on and I love watching the other kids all day. I am now holding my own bottle and eating as many things as my mom will let me. My favorite right now is yogurt....yummy! I had my 6 month pictures taken yesyerday. I did pretty well but decided to become uncooperative and they had to call my mommy to come help. I sure did look cute though. My aunt Kate has an awesome friend who has lots and lots of patience and takes awesome pictures. She better beware, we are calling her every time we need pictures. She is getting us a cd soon, so check back for some new pics. I still love the tv, but have not had as much time to watch my program lately. I am actually watching racing right now. Fast cars, wow! I think that is about all for now.

A much needed update on the amazing...me!

I have not posted a blog in a very long time, I apologize! Where has Summer gone? Oh wait, did Summer just start this weekend? I am so confused! Anyway, I am almost 6 months old and my mom can't even believe it! I finally learned how to roll over from my stomach to my back last week, but just on my left side. Everyone keeps calling me a slow learner but they will be sorry when I figure out how to get around. I can hear them now....."Remember when he used to just lay on the floor and kick his legs? Can't we have those times back". Well, just you wait, soon enough I will be all over the place. I have NOT been sleeping very well at night...I can't decide if it is because I am hungry, or if I just miss my mom so much that I can't go more than 4 hours without seeing her. She keeps telling me that this behavior is unacceptable and I had better get things back to normal before she goes back to work in 1 week. Speaking of mommy going to work, I can't wait! I get to go to Aja's and I am so excited. Not only do I get to hang out and watch other kids all day, but I get to get some loving from someone other than my mom. Don't get me wrong, I love my mom, but she gets boring after a while. I went on my first vacation a couple of weeks ago to Chicago. I had a great time checking everything out! I really liked the fireworks at Navy Pier and the Cirque show. I got to spend lots of time with my uncle Chris and he even made me a Build a Bear. I was a good boy and did not cause any major problems. I am really starting to notice my dog Dallas lately and every time he moves, shakes or scratches himself I think it is hilarious! My dad brought my high chair upstairs this weekend and I love it. It is so much fun to sit in it while mom cooks and cleans the kitchen and bang my toys on the tray and throw them on the floor and watch her pick them up. I also think it is pretty cool to eat in it too. I am still totally addicted to the TV. Mom says hopefully going to Aja's will help to cure me of this addiction because there will be other kids to focus my attention on instead of the tv. I guess I have to have something in common with my dad right? Well, I have 4 cousins and 2 neighbor kids coming over today so I had better get a nap in before the excitement begins. Enjoy the pictures my moms friend Karen took at a barbecue we went to over the weekend. She does such a nice job taking pictures...and enhancing them on the Piknik website. Enjoy your week! I know I will!
