6 Month Pictures

6 Months

This little cutie just turned 6 months on Tuesday! She is so happy!! She literally jumps up and down in her exersaucer now - usually either growling or screaming - she has discovered her voice (not just growling anymore) and her volume - and she is LOUD!!! She is no longer longing to be held all the time. She is frustrated because she wants to crawl and just can not make her arms go...I am just fine with it taking longer though. She weighed in at 19.1 pounds and was 27 1/4" long at her appointment Wednesday. She is in the 95th percentile for both height and weight.

She is so goofy! Here she is "playing" with one of her froggies in the bath. There is always something in her mouth, so it shouldn't be long until there are pictures up here of some teeth!

Sleepover

Alyssa and Jack had a sleepover at our house last friday night. They entertained each other quite a bit - campfire, playing games, watching movies, having ice cream, etc.

I think we wore them out pretty good...

Dentist

Jack went to the dentist for the first time today. He had a blast playing Pac Man before going in.

He got to wear these cool shades to keep the light out. He also got to get pictures taken of his teeth, which he thought was pretty awesome. He was able to get his picture taken for the wall too for having no cavities.

And then we went and got a good sugary treat on the way home for being such a good boy!!!

Sunday School

Today Jack gave another shot at Sunday School - he tried it last year too, but it didn't go so well (he was scared to death) so with him going to school and all we figured it would be workable this year.

We waited in the cry room for him to get done. He did so good this time and even is looking forward to going back next week!

Look what I can do!!!!

Maddie is sitting like a champ now! She still has the occassional fall over, but it getting to be more graceful.

She also is trying her best to crawl - she loves "trying" at least for a little while, then she just gets mad.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend we were able to camping down by the river. Jack realized how much he enjoyed fishing....apparently A LOT!!!! That or possibly it was just an excuse to walk out on the rocks every 10 seconds.

We also got lots of Rhino riding time in!

The Fair

We were able to make a trip to the fair this past weekend....Jack seemed to enjoy it most (after the buggy crawled out)...He won some toys, went on some rides, ate some cheese curds, had a good ole sun drop slushee and impressed with this...

a little jungle gym of sorts that required some major heights for a little kid and a pretty impressive slide!

1st Day of School

Today was the big day for Jack - he popped right out of bed and you could seriously not wipe the smile from this boy's face! He was so excited.

Here's Jack and his friend Karlie - they have gone to daycare together since day 1...

The bus driver let us have a little photo op. before getting down to business

They were so cute, I'm pretty sure they were holding on to each other when they got on!

Sooooooo Sleepy

You think she's tired? Maybe someone should put her to bed.

Mini Me

I've decided that Allie is a mini me of Maddie (at least based on looks for the time being). See exhibit A:

My daughter really needs to start keeping her shirt (dress) down - you have no idea how hard it was to get this picture with just this much of it pulled up.

Doesn't this look like a crowd you'd like to party with?

Chuck E. Cheese

As a special treat for the whole "back to school" gig this week, Jack was treated to an afternoon at Chuck E. Cheese on Saturday. Grandma was able to join us and helped big time with Maddie while we were there. We're hoping he got his fill of tubes and slides and climbing!
