6 Months

WOW...this first 6 months has gone fast! I turned 6 months old on Mommy's birthday, April 15th!! Mommy and Daddy are enjoying watching me grow and change everyday. I am rolling over, grabbing at everything I can and anything I grab goes in my mouth! I am sitting up, a little wobbly though if I don't have help.

I went to my 6 month appointment today and weighed 19 pounds and 5 ounces :) Dr. Leidman says I am very healthy and doing well. Time to start eating cereal!!

We went and had family pictures and my 6 month pictures taken. Mommy says I did a great job! Here is the link to see the rest of our pictures:

Happy Easter!

My 1st Easter was a wonderful day spent with family and friends:) Grandma and Grandpa Ihrke and Daniel came on Saturday night. We went to mass at 9 on Sunday morning, I slept through most of it! After chruch, we all went back to our house. We were joined by Grandma and Grandpa Tomlinson, Rebecca, Charlie and Frieda! They all enjoyed a wonderful looking brunch, I can't believe they didn't share! I am really interested in food these days, I watch everyone eat.

I got lots of fun stuff for Easter. I had a lot of fun playing with my new toys!

We haven't taken the time to write about our trip to Texas! The day I turned 5 months old, Mommy and I got on a plane and visited our friends Jenny, JC, Addison and Grant in Harker Heights. We spent Sunday through Thursday hanging out in the sun and spending time with them! When we got there on Sunday we got to see some of the soldiers coming home from Iraq. We even got to drive through and see Fort Hood, Thanks JC!! On Monday we went to one of Mommy's favorite restaurant, Pappasito's! Mommy and Daddy's good friends, Rondy and Brandie, joined us for dinner there. I was excited to meet them and Mommy was so glad to spend time with them!

Tuesday and Wednesday we spent time hanging out and relaxing. Mommy and Jenny took just a few pictures of me, Addison and Grant, (haha) only 351 of them!! We had a great time there and really miss the Texas sunshine and our friends. I really miss hanging out with Addison and Grant! (Mommy misses sharing recipes and catching up with Jenny!)

Mommy was excited to show me Texas and introduce me to great friends. While we were there I tried many things! I finally figured out how to roll from my back to my stomach. ( I figured out how to roll from my stomach to my back a few days earlier!) I also began eating some cereal and Mommy even let Rondy give me part of a tortilla at Pappasito's! It was tasty:)

I did such a good job on the flights that we are going to California in June to visit Aunt Mindy and Uncle Kevin!
