6 month update

Blake turned 6 months old on Monday. He went for his checkup with Dr. Rabon on Tuesday. He weighs 16lbs, 10 oz & is 27 inches long. He did really well during the actual shots; only cried for a bit. He's been a little more fussy than usual this week though; due to gas & poop problems. Hopefully, that will get straightened out soon. Here are some recent pics...

Just woke up from a nap! (I added the blanket to his head.)

4 generations...

Blake stayed overnight with my parents for the first time this past weekend so that we could celebrate our 6th anniversary. Blake is wearing some of Daddy's socks to keep his feet warm.

Getting ready to go for a dip in the pool at Granna's house.

Happy 4th from my Little Firecracker!

5 Months Old...

Blake turned 5 months old on Saturday! Where has the time gone? To celebrate, we got him in the pool for the first time. I think he really liked it, but it was hard to tell. He was his usual mellow self!

A LOT messier than eating cereal! At one point, it was on his eyebrows!

Blake's Bedroom & Bathroom-Picture Heavy Post

We finished up Blake's room today & it's really cute! Here are some pics of the finished product.

I made these curtain rods myself. The pictures don't really do them justice. They turned out really cute! 2 bats glued together with a baseball on either end.

I've got a thing for monkeys! Can you tell?

Blake hopes everyone had a great Memorial Day!

More Exciting News...

Blake is 4.5 months old today. He developed a little cold (sneezing, coughing, runny nose), so I decided to take him to the doctor to get everything checked out. Last time he had all these symptoms he had an ear infection as well.
He had a great doctor visit. He weighed 15lbs, 4oz with his clothes/diaper on. He was very well-behaved, laughing & smiling during his exam. No ear infection & the congestion isn't in his lungs-only in his head. Then, she looked in his mouth & what did she see?!
A tooth poking through!
Hooray! It must have just gotten there because I just felt around in there a few days ago & didn't feel anything. It will be difficult to get a picture of this milestone, but don't think I won't try!
