6 Months Come and Gone!

Happy Little Camper trying out a big boy car seat!

Heh Heh!! ;)

I <3 This!!

Sitting up like such a Big Boy!

Joshua had his 6 month check up this morning. I can't believe how fast the time has gone! He's been such a joy and the perfect addition to our household! The boys just goo and gah over him all day long, and Matt and I are just in love with this perfect little boy! He's finally sitting up on his own, but still teeters and falls on occasion! His face is so funny once he lands backwards, as if he's completely offended by his own body for failing to keep him upright! He's become quite the chatterer! He love to join in a conversation, and you'll hear him join in to singing as well (just like his big brothers did at this age!). He's not much of a roller, but when he wants something he'll get it! He's definitely one of those kids that knows what he wants, and knows how to push mommy's buttons to get it! He spends the majority of his days being held by mommy, or snuggled up with someone (mostly his bros)! I think Josh is as smitten with Peyton and Parker as they are with him! He loves to just watch them (I'm sure this is not a good thing...picking up on all the naughty things they do!) and just smiles away at them, even if they aren't paying attention to him! He's been our little medical mystery. He's technically and MSPI baby, but not a typical one. He shows different symptoms that most babys don't show. A late symptoms starter (3 months), he's not a puker, and he's not too bad on the weight loss side. He refuses solid foods at this point...no matter what it is! His weight goes up and down. For the most part he's a very happy little guy, especially if mama's holding him! ;) Here's his stats from the appointment today: Weight 15 lbs 11 oz (9.86% :( ) Height: 26.75" (45.76%) HC 44.8cm (69.05%)

Yes She Does!

Such A Happy Guy!

Best Buds!

Can you tell how much they love him?!

This is what I wake up to every day! Aren't I blessed?!

Picking cucumbers from our garden!

Our parsley black swallowtail caterpillar!

Singing in the Rain!

Well, Mr Parker, is definitely becoming his own little person! He's starting to show more independence from his big brother. I'm not too sure Peyton's very fond of this whole idea! He's always been the leader and "controller" of what they do and how they do it! Parker's not too fond of that anymore! :) I can't wait to continue to watch that little guy blossom into the boy God has planned for him to become! He's a feisty little one, who's always hungry! The first thing he says to me EVERY morning when he comes in my room is "I'm Hungry!" He's always ready for the next meal or snack the second he finishes a meal! :) He's becoming quite a sports enthusiast like his brother! He loves soccer and basketball though. When you ask him what sport he wants to play (when he turns 3 he's able to play on a team sport) he says how much he can't wait to "play bowling"! He cracks me up! He'll be turning 3 in a week and he's so excited! He's telling everyone about it, and what he's doing for his birthday. We'll be taking a family vacation with gma and gpa for boating, water parks, fishing, and camping! He's SO excited!

I love this face!

At the StormChasers Game!

So Silly!

Baseball Star

Peyton is still obsessed as ever with baseball! He had a great first season of coach pitch with most of his tball team from last year! It's been nice for him to continue his friendships! This boy has more personality then anyone I know! He LOVES life and every day is a party for him! He's quite a joker and loves making people laugh! I'm so blessed to have him in my life as he puts the laughter in my days, every day! He just turned 5 last week, and let me tell you....this turning 5 thing has made him the most independent little booger out there! Every day I hear "Mom, I'm 5 now so I can..." wipe my butt, get dressed all by myself, make my lunch, put my toothpaste on, brush my hair, put on a band aid, pour my cereal, get my own water, etc...... I love it! He's excited to be starting at a new preschool here next month! We've gotten him a new backpack and some new shoes and clothes! It took a lot of investigating, but we feel this new preschool is going to be great for him and that this is exactly where God wants him! I'm excited for him to make new friends and for all the things he's going to learn this upcoming school year!
