I really wanted to get Baines 6 month pictures done and well I can't afford to take him somewhere every time so I had my Mom take some pictures.  For Christmas my Dad gave her a really nice camera so they turned out really good. I've been trying to edit them so here are a few.  I'm not as good at editing as Jessica so I might have to send them over to her.  Haha.  

Nicki's Little Monster

Nicki came over one day right after christmas and we were doing her nails in the kitchen.  Brighten, her neice and Natty's little girl came strolling in the kitchen and told us that Brody pulled the tree down.  We laughed and I didn't believe her but Natty went to check and sure enough there it was.  He even undecorated it for me.  How nice.  :)  I want him to come over to break it some more so I can get a new one.  Hehehe.

6 months later..........

6 Months

Weight 18lbs. 11oz  75%
Length 26.5"
Head 44.6
I can't remember the length and head percentile.

Things he's doing

• Talking more and more.  I love it.  He will just jabber jabber to me and Brady thinking that we are having real conversations.  It's hard not to laugh but I try not to because he will cry thinking that I'm making fun of him.  
• Holds his bottle all by himself.
• Sits up like a champ.
• Puts the binkie in his mouth but can't figure out why it won't stay there.  (he won't let it go)

Pretty much he's just freaken amazing!

Denver/New Years

We went to Denver over New Years to a football game.  We went with our friends Nate and LeeAnn.  The 7-8 hour drive took us 12 hours to get there.  I-80 was closed on the way there because of the snow storm.  I saw my life flash before my eyes a few times on that drive.  Even though I was assured many times that we were fine.  I really have turned into the biggest baby ever since I wrecked my car 7 years ago.  You would think I would get over it but something about having the jaws of life having to cut you out......I'll never be the same.  I really missed Baine.  Next vacation he's coming and we are going some place warm.  I was that crazy Mom that kept calling and asking for picture mail.  (Thank goodness I live in this day and age)  I swear I looked at his pictures on my phone at least 3 times a day.  It was a little sad.  

It was fun to get away and to go with friends.  New Years Eve was a bigger deal in Denver than I thought it would be.  They had fireworks going off the top of buildings every hour to celebrate New Years everywhere. Market Street was packed full of people and stuff to do.  People had carts with stuff that they were selling.  Some were questionable.  

So I thought I was putting all the pictures in order but I didn't and I don't want to take the time to fix it so here is some pictures from Denver.....backwards.

 Tebow doing what he does best, running with the ball.  Everyone hates him, and I know nothing so I love him.  

 The jets flying over the field during the national anthem.  It gives you chills.

Christmas is over :(

I love Christmas!  I love all the holidays really.  I love the lights, smells, colors, snow, presents, decorations, I love it all!  This year we didn't do any shopping until December 24th for reasons I won't name.  So the 24th we headed to Logan and got everything handled.  Brady and I decided we weren't doing anything for each other this year so we could save our money for Denver.  Well we have done this before and Brady never holds up his end of the bargain so I'm done with that.  I told Brady we will never do that again and there will always be Christmas in our house!  When we went shopping I was looking for something for Baine so we could at least get him one present.  Well then I got sidetracked and as we were driving home I remembered and felt so bad.  I'm not one of those people that think "oh he's too young he won't remember."  Well it's Christmas!  So we ended up not getting him anything.  I'm not proud of it, but it happened.

5 Months

Baine is now 5 months!  I can't believe it.  Things that he is doing now,

• Jabbering more and more.  In the car, when he gets his diaper changed, to nothing in particular.   He still is screaming too.  (like a little girl)
• Rolling over.  He did back to front on Monday.  Last night he did front to back.  I know it's a little backwards but hey at least he's doing something now.
• Eating his cereal and veggies better.  He loves his carrots! 

 This is what happened when I asked Brady if he would feed Baine his cereal for breakfast.  Apparently carrots was the better idea.  I still don't know why there was no bib.
