Just Like My Mom

One thing that the family has always said about my mom is that she can sleep anywhere, which is right considering that I hear she fell asleep at a football game one time.  Well, I guess I take after her because I can fall asleep pretty much anywhere too. My mom and dad caught me asleep in a couple of different places and took my picture.

I'm 6 Months Old!!

October 1

I'm 6 months old now - half a year old!!!  I had to get shots this time and they were not fun at all.  But I did like the paper on the doctor bed.  It made a cool sound and I could rip it when I pulled on it.  When the doctor came in to talk to us, my mom took me off the bed and I couldn't reach the paper; oh it made me so mad.  Then the doctor gave me some tongue depressors to play with and they were fun for a little while. Then it happened, they came in to give me my shots and it hurt like I don't know what.  I screamed and cried and my mom heard the nurse tell another nurse outside that she had never had one cry that hard or loud.  My mom had to sing the Monday Night Football theme song to get my mind off the pain.  My mom also felt my bottom gums and felt two teeth coming in.  That explained to them why I was being a little cranky.  The doctor said that my top gums where swollen too.  Here are some things that I can do at 6 months old:

* I can roll over from my back to my stomach.
* I can give myself my bottle.
* I can sit up by myself.
* I love fruit and the best is when my mom and dad give me a frozen slice of apple to chew on.
* I weigh 17 lbs 9 oz and I'm in the 81st percentile.
* My head circumference is 17.13 inches and I'm in the 80th percentile.
* My length is 26.5 inches and I'm in the 78th percentile.
* I take a bath in the big girl tub now and love to splash around.

Monday Night Football

My dad gets so excited about football season so I have had to get used to football being on the tv.  It hasn't been so bad though. I like to watch the players run around and I like to talk to them on the tv too. I really like to hear my dad sing the Monday Night Football theme song, it just cracks me up every time.

My First Football Game

September 10

Today I went to my first football game at Wake Forest.  My mom and dad are big fans and we were playing NC State and we won.  Everyb\one wasn't really sure how I would do but mom and dad said I did a good job. We got there early to tailgate and hang out with our friends.  They took my exersaucer to play.  My dad's post master and his family tailgated with us and he gave me an  Oreo and I loved it.  I tried to pull his hand back when he took it away. We had a good day but I did fall asleep by the 4th quarter...I was cheering "Go Deacs" in my dreams.

Sleeping

I've always been a good sleeper but I have changed some of my sleeping positions.  When I started to learn to roll from my back to my stomach I liked to sleep on my side. Then I finally learned to roll from my back to my stomach and I like to sleep on my stomach now with my legs crossed.  Lucky for my mom and dad I don't wake up when I roll over on my stomach when I'm sleeping so we all just keep snoozing the night away.

I'm 5 Months Old!!!!

September 1

I'm 5 months old and doing lots of things.  I didn't have to get any shots this time which was great.  Here are some things that I'm doing at 5 months old now:

* I'm sitting in the highchair now when I eat.
* I'm drooling on everything and chewing on everything.
* I'm in size 2 diapers.
* I'm in all different sizes of clothes, my mom just says it depends on the brand of clothes.
* I'm almost rolling over from my back to my stomach.
* I'm so curious and want to check everything out.

Excited that I'm about to eat.
