Six months and winter fun!

I have been overcome lately by remembering how much I love the 6-month baby age.  The laughs, smiles, rolling, sitting, flopping around the crib at night, scarfing down baby food (new for us!) and just being so content to sit and play.

I know he will continue to grow at an alarming rate - so we better enjoy the immobile fun now! ha!  He was 90% for weight, 92% for height and 70% for head circumference at his 6-month appointment.  Big Boy!  That was even before starting baby food.  He loves Hadley, loves to grab for anything we have in our hands (books especially), loves to roll and find a way to his favorite toy and still likes the jumperoo.  He has a new car he loves to play in, has this crinkly book about tails that's a huge hit and thinks his new John Deere tractor is pretty cool when Hadley goes blazing by pushing it.  Baby food is a hit: peas, asparagus and fruit especially!

We've had lots of winter fun - a neighborhood sleigh ride, a ride down the slide at Jolly Days at the children's museum, checking out the trains at Jingle Rails at the Eiteljorg, building a snowman with Anna (young girl across the street who Hadley loves), Hadley's 2nd IU game with Mommy & Daddy, scoping out the gingerbread masterpieces at Conner Prairie with Sam & Taylor and most recently being holed up in the house with mommy - ha!

Enjoy the photo dump!

Riding a horse at the Eiteljorg

A yellow train was on this track - can you tell how intent she is on waiting for it?

Mmmm popcorn.  Hads and DG ate this entire bucket!  

Hoooooosiers!

Loving his peas!  And being in the booster seat at La Hacienda..yum!

The car!  Hadley "waiting" on her turn.  She's pushy.

Hads & Sam at lunch after Conner Prairie - look, a leaf!

Brady now enjoys the high chair or our booster when at restaurants!  Go Brady!

Snuggling up to the babysitter - overnight at Grammy & Gramps!

Cheers! I turned 32!

We love Bakersfield and the chance to sleep in!

Brady being tormented during his first overnight at Grammy & Gramps house

Hadley insists on sitting next to Gramps in his chair.  looks comfy!

The masterpiece!

Waiting patiently for the icing and goodies!

Brady is 6 months old!!  

looking too big in that chair already!

"Brady - you share your sticker with me??"

love

it's the real camera's fault

I use the blogger app on my phone all the time.  But, I've actually been using the "real" camera more so that involves way too many steps to be a timely blogger!  A little late...but still adorable....

Brady at 5 months.
If you're paying attention, you might have already realized that I am posting his 5 month pics on his 6th month birthday.  sorry 2nd baby :)

aww mommy, i will always love you!

hmmm, this sticker is delish!

go Sox!

begging for daddy to take him to a game

We celebrated Thanksgiving by hosting both of our families yet again this year. Note to self- get a smaller turkey.  These turkeys did not eat enough!  We had a great day and evening eating, drinking, laughing with the toddlers and playing games.

heart {full}

These two make Sunday nights a little more bearable 

h a double-l o, w double-e n spells halloween

better late than never (the mantra with most of my posts).

We invited the fam over, put chili in the crock pots again and enjoyed Halloween through the eyes of a two-year old.  This year was way more fun than last and it will only get better! I think Hadley's highlight was saying trick-or-treat and thank you at each house.  And, walking around with Parker and Chachi of course.

There is no family picture and no picture of our rabbit and carrot together.  awesome.  but, enjoy these instead!

checking out the fluffy tail

witch hats!
