Spencer and Owen

Cute cute boys!  You and Owen played in the grass with each other while the other kids rode rides at Country Fest.  Owen thought you were a great toy, it's awesome when your toy makes noise when you grab it.  :)  You sat up by him for a bit and then tipped over . . . . or did you get pushed over.  ha ha.  I love that you two get to grow up together, such cute boys!

Well Good Morning there!

Every since you got teeth you've been struggling with sleep.  For a while you were waking up every hour from 10pm to 2am and then again at 4am or 5am.  You've started sleeping a little better and go to bed about 11pm and wake up at 4am and then go back to bed until 7am.  Last night you woke up at 4am and I went into your room and there you were sitting up in your rock n play.  So your rock n play is like a little bassinet and I almost started laughing.  I was afraid you would flip yourself right out so I put you back to sleep and put you in your crib and you made it there the rest of the night.
Tonight, however, you are not amused with the crib and started screaming after a bit when I put you in your crib.  We'll get there, I'm sure, just not sure on the time frame.

Sitting up

You can almost sit up by yourself but still need a little help.  You love chilling in your bumbo but also can't resist eating your feet which makes you slip out a little bit.  The other day I pulled you out and your feet kind stuck in the bumbo and little bit and Blake started cracking up and said, "Whoa he's ninja!"  Blake was so impressed with your ninja skills.

Late Nights

It's 1pm and you and I are still in our pjs.  It's been a rough couple of nights.  Last night you started screaming at 10pm and with a few exceptions didn't stop until 1am.  I was so flustered that I had Brad come home from visiting with his brother at about 10:45.  We took turns with you but nothing seemed to work.  We weren't sure if it's because you have allergies and are having a hard time breathing, or teething, or if it's because I had milk this weekend which I believe you are allergic too.  I'm thinking it might have been the milk and if that was it I feel so bad.  You had a rough night the two nights before as well and by this am I had had it.  I didn't go workout this am even though it's my last week at boot camp because I just couldn't.  Brad decided I really needed some sleep, so he took Spencer on a 3 hour drive while I went back to bed.  Needless to say we are both feeling much better today and at 1pm we are feeling great and ready to start our day!  Here's hoping for a much better night tonight and also I'm so grateful for your awesome dad, you are one lucky boy and I am one lucky girl to have him.  He is amazing!

Growing up

The other day I took you to hobby lobby and thought I'd try sitting you in the cart since I didn't have a stroller.  You were so happy to be in the cart looking around, trying to chew on everything.  They did have the small carts and I did spend most of the time holding onto you so you didn't tip over but it was a first and I can't believe how big you are getting.  Just pushing you around I was thinking wow where did the time go, I can't believe you are approaching 6 months old.  I was thinking how this time last year I was soooooooo sick being pregnant and the time was passing so slowly but now that you are here the time is going by so fast.  I am trying to enjoy every moment with you (well minus the cranky teething ha ha), you are such a joy and a happy baby and we love you.
and speaking of enjoying, can you just not get enough of those beautiful eyes!

Spring

Just enjoying a nice day outside.

Church

You and I spend a lot of time in the mothers room at church.  Usually Owen and Megan are sitting across the room from us but on this day it was just us so I decided to snap some pictures of you in your cute suit sitting with me.
