About Me
We are Sara, Kyle, Noah, and Eli living in the city. These our are adventures: cooking, playing, creating, laughing, and yes, sometimes, crying. We believe strongly in the "it takes a village" philosophy to not only raise children but to also build a community of people to help each other. Welcome to our little hut in this great big world.

my blogger broke?
I don’t know, but it’s been looking funny for me.
Couldn’t handle the cuteness I guess.
6th months old
I had to take him to get some kiddie kandids. We have lots of cute wallet pictures , and we’ll surely be giving them out to everyone. I think my favorite pictures are the one with the white background and the one in the suitcase. I should have brought some glasses – I was going for a nerdy look. The wagon pics are pretty darn cute.
A whole half of a year. Wow! Another doctor’s visit and some more shots – ow!
He’s weighing: 21 pounds on the money – I thought he was going to be heavier.
His height is: 28 1/4 inches – he’s grown 2 inches in two months
His bubble head: 17 3/4 inches – what a brain!
What your baby can do:
 |
Express excitement by squealing and laughing and anger by screaming (oh yea – he’s a screamer) |
|
Sit up when you hold his hands (yes, getting quite good at sitting up) |
|
Show a lot of interest in what is going on around him (busy hands junior – Uncle Larry is busy hands senior) |
|
Keep himself busy with his own company |
|
Push himself along by kicking (probably backwards first) as he is unable to crawl yet (or squirming) |
|
Grasp objects and pass them from one hand to another (yup) |
|
Respond to her name (yup) |
|
Pull long hair! (Beware!) (oh and scratch faces too – it’s like my face is some sort of playdoh to him) |
|
Become wary of strangers quite unlike the friendly baby he was before (he’s still pretty friendly – especially with the ladies) |
|
Become very talkative babbling something or the other all the time (dada this, dada that) |
|
May be able to sit in a high-chair |
more human
I am almost through with a huge work project, and I am beginning to feel more human. The constant state of chaos I felt this past week, has melted away into blissful hanging out with my family and friends, trying new recipes, and watching loads of foodnetwork.
This weeks pictures:
Aww, to be small enough to fit in a hamper again. He was getting fussy, so I thought he could use a new perspective.
New car seat – extra comfy – we might be fighting over this seat between the 3 of us.
Where’s Noah -ldo?
New sippy cup, no liquids yet, but a nice teething chewy toy.
