6 Months

Our baby is 6 months old.  Say what?  Her first 6 months went so much faster than Lukes.  Here's her 6 month bio.

She sits up completely on her own.
She still puts everything in her mouth and drools like crazy.
She is completely weaned and on soy formula.
She has an allergy to milk (it was an eventful month).
She smiles a ton and just starting making a 'baa baa' sound.
She 'growls' at people....still fine tuning her talking :)
She still isn't rolling over and doesn't seem to care or want to try.
She hates rice cereal.  We're basically just starting solids for real due to the allergy scare and testings.
She started refusing her paci from time to time.
She loves the boys in her life (daddy and brother).
She is almost back to sleeping through the night but feeds once a night a few times a week.
She grabs at anything and everything.
She wears a mixture of 6 and 9 month clothing.
She dislikes wearing headbands but is getting a little bit more hair.

Happy Half Year Birthday Lauren! 

Fall Fun

We've been soaking up fall the past few weekends.  Parades, pumpkin patch fun, tractors, paint, leaves, acorns, walks, woo! The only thing left is baking fall goodies and of course Halloween fun. 

The artist himself!

"Look Mommy, I driving the tractor!"

Our handsome little fella.

The pumpkin before.

The pumpkin after.

And one of the little lady since she couldn't partake in the pumpkin fun this year.

Why?

We've hit the "why" stage.

I had a little car trouble today, well a lotta car trouble today, and we were trying to figure out our plan of action to get it in the shop without missing work.  It seemed back to normal on my way home from daycare this afternoon and we thought we should drive it again tonight after it sat for a while to see if it acted up again.

Luke was already in his pj's but was my backseat driver for the ride.  Because if your car breaks down on the side of the road at night in the dark of course you want to be stranded with a 2 1/2 year old. 

So footie pj's and all we went for a spin.  The entire trip he asked "why?" "Why your engine light on Mommy?" "Why we go this way?" "Why we driving?" "Why we go in a circle Mommy?" "Why, Why, Why??" It didn't matter what answer I came up, and believe me I started to get creative, his response was, "why?"

Whoever decided to teach him that one is in big trouble. 

Meet Kyle

Luke and Kyle.  

Who is Kyle you might ask, apparently its his monster on his shirt.  I learned all about him when I picked up Luke and "Kyle" from school today.  This kiddo sure has a wild imagination and told his teachers all about Kyle today.  The boy sure knows how to make me laugh.
