SIX months old

We took Bradan to the doctor on Friday for his SIX month checkup.

He weighs 18 pounds 7 ounces. Dr. Cogley wrote that he was a normal healthy six month old.

Though we couldn't imagine life without him, it is hard to believe time has gone so fast.

As a six month old, Bradan is:

Sitting up by himself

Eating food in his highchair

Sitting in the big tub

Laughing and giggling

Playing with his toes

And still letting his mommy give his kisses. For now. B is also playing with toys and putting anything he can get his hands on in his mouth. He still thinks his sister is the greatest thing on earth and Shelby is enjoying her little brother growing up. Stu says he is also blowing raspberries but I haven't seen one yet. His favorite toy is his stationary jumper and he is starting to get anxiety whenever he can't see mom, dad or sister. Any day now I expected a tooth to pop through and hopefully I am not jinxing it by adding that he has been sleeping through the night for the last week.

A Witch and a Dinosaur

This was the first Halloween that Shelby has started to understand what this holiday is all about and she loved it. We had been asking her for months what she wanted to be for Halloween and it was always something different from a princess to a penguin. About a month ago she started saying a witch every time we asked that question, so that is what we decided to stick with. She got to dress up like a witch two times this year. On the Wednesday before Halloween, she went to Melanie Uhrich's birthday party at the Admiral Theatre in Bremerton for their Monster Bash and then she dress up to go trick or treating downtown Port Orchard. On Friday, at school they did a pajama party with the kids. Bradan also got to dress up twice in his dinosaur costume. Once a daycare and then to go Trick or Treating with Shelby. He didn't mind wearing the costume or walking around being carried by Stu while Shelby got all the candy. As you can see by one of the pictures, he was pretty done by the end of the night though.

Here are some pictures from our Halloween fun!
