Six New Things at SIX MONTHS!

Spitting and trying Sweet Potatoes. Then spitting and sweet potatoes together which makes for one messy but cute boy.
Scooting. Owen does not like to be on his stomach for long but he was trying to reach my feet and pushed his upper body around to play with them. He can scoot about 180.

Sitting. Owen has always had upper body strength but he is reallly pushing himself up now when he has a little support behind him. Here he is in his car seat; he also sits up in his bouncer and the boppy. When I lean him into the boppy on the couch by me he topples forward because the couch is squishy and propels him the rest of the way forward.

Sleeping. Yea! It has probably been about two weeks with this one where he only wakes up once in the night to be fed. Usually the second time I can give him his binky and he falls back to sleep. He has also been pretty good about a nap schedule too!
Shrieking. I am so mad, I have tried three times to load the video of Owen shrieking and spitting. Maybe I will try again, but suffice it to say he gets real excited when one of us comes into the room or talks to him. He will also spit little bubbles, maybe a sign of teething??
Slim. Lastly Owen is stayin' slim or more like staying 18 lbs. At 5 months he weighed 18 lbs and three weeks later he weighed only 18 lbs. 3 oz. This is probably a result of eating less at night and I am stretching him during the day.
So there you have it, our cutie pie is half a year old!!!
Side note - Does anyone want to hear about my grocery savings adventures?

Sunday Night Dinner

Since the Barnes family was gone Sunday to visit Kelsey for her birthday, we invited Kimmy over to have dinner with us. We made our own version of a Bajio dinner--enchiladas, sweet rice, and spicey corn. Yum! Kent is a genius at recreating restaurant tastes!
Happy Clam!

I guess this is Kent's way of saying "I'm hungry, stop taking pictures!" haha

Yes, I am eating on a chair, even though we have a table.

Purse Tag

After I saw Randi and Kristi's post, I decided I would do this one because I had really wanted to do the house and honesty tags but never did. Then Kamilla tagged me, so here it is. haha.
Diaper bag slash purse for sure. Actually, I never have been a purse carrier. I know there are some way super cute ones out there, but I am much happier just carrying a little wallet in my back pocket. But today I had diaper and wipes case, extra onesie (two months ago Owen had an accident and I had to carry him into the chapel with only a diaper on, yeah not smart) (oh and I am always borrowing onesies from Kelsey when she is here. haha), coin purse, wallet, church papers which include RS calender, VT assignment, and how to install a web filter on your computer, phone, gum, lipgloss (Sephora Bronzed Beauty- thee best), chapstick (for Kent), binky, teether, keys, and receipts to fast food, haha.
