Time Is Flying By

So, today BudBud is 6 months old. We took some pictures of him so hopefully we'll get them online this weekend.

We cannot believe that it's been 6 months since we first held him. It's been the quickest 6 months of our lives. I'm sure in 6 years we will look back and say it's been a quick 6 years.

He's almost sitting up on his own. He's rolling over at will and when we go up to get him in the morning, he's on his belly. He's still sleeping through the night. There are times we wake up and can hear him on the baby monitor cooing and gabbering to himself. We wait a little bit and he soon falls back to sleep. We figure if he was hungry or something, he'd let us know. He can go from happy and giggling to "I'm starving and I'll die in 1 minute if I don't have a bottle". When he's in this stage, there is NO giving him food; only a bottle will do.

A new milestone is in the works. BudBud is spending the night at Grandma and Grandpa's house. This will be the first time mom has been away from the little guy. Going to be VERY interesting.

That's it for now.

God is Good,

Yellow and Orange Foods (Mar 8)

Jonathan started eating yellow and orange vegetables this evening. Based on Connie's recommendation, his first vegetable for us to try with him was sweet potatoes. He wasn't too sure of the sweet potatoes in the first couple of bites, but then he decided that he liked the flavor and texture and was all albout getting more of them. Here is the link to the first of the eight pictures of his first experience eating vegetables. (picture) He did make a little bit of a mess, but what can you expect for a 6 month old.

Drama at Daycare (Feb 19th)

We had our first "incident" at school today.

One of the older children, Jeremiah, was reading a book to BudBud and showing him the pictures when the book fell and hit BudBud in the face. When the book fell, he ended up with a little bruise on the left side of his mouth and a couple of superficial scratches under the lower left side of his mouth (link to picture) BudBud was fine and was just smiling and looking around, but Jeremiah was so upset that he had hurt BudBud that he threw the book in the trash. Connie, the teacher, said that it took about an hour and a half for Jeremiah to calm down from the incident. It probably did not help that Drew got mad at Jeremiah because he thought that he hurt BudBud on purpose and would not talk to him for awhile. Drew is 4 1/2 years old and loves BudBud and is so excited when he sees him.

Luckily Connie was able to rescue the book that had been the cause of all of this drama.
