6 Months

A very merry un-birthday to Beau!!!! He is half a year. Feels like he is just a newborn. Well, a 20 lb newborn.

Beau is still very sweet. He is good natured and very "go with the flow". He is now eating baby food three times a day, he has almost completely mastered a straw cup (and loves trying), he can pick up puffs pretty good (but has a hard time getting them off of his fingers into his mouth. He is tripod sitting and can sit alone for a bit. He rolls all over all the time. He is frustrated by not being able to crawl, but is lazy and woke put in the work :). This month he has started reaching for me (love), crying when I leave a room (hate), and still LOVES the attention the bigs give him. He still does not sleep through the night (gag), and has some napping issues as well (gag). Pretty soon he will have to do baby sleep boot camp!

I took like 75 photos and this is what I got. He would not leave his sticker alone!!!!!

Thanksgiving

We had a really fun, relaxing Thanksgiving (as relaxed as one can be with three boys). Gran, Lacy, Brandon, and Devyn came to help us celebrate! Thanks for making the trek guys!

Grey had a really neat Thanksgiving feast at his school. We ate really delicious food and the 5th graders were our servers. It was super cute.







Holden's class. His Indian name was "Snapping Alligator"......how appropriate.



The boys and I made this turkey "Flappy". We added feathers everyday for things we were thankful for. I think my all time favorite was from Holden. Reptiles. He is thankful for reptiles. Aren't we all?



A little story time.



Some all American football on Thanksgiving day. Matt said Devyn was the only one actually interested.







Cousins!











We had beautiful weather and we got to go hiking in two different state parks. We also went to the botanical gardens. I will have to collect more pictures from people.













We were walking along and Santa drove up in his truck and stopped to take a picture with the kiddos!!!





Devyn and Holden helped me decorate the Christmas tree while Grey was at school.











And this is what happens in carpool after 7 days of Thanksgiving fun and no naps!



We had such a great time. And now we can all say "remember that time in Birmingham". :)

Goings on

Grey had a fund raiser at his school. We pledged money for each lap that he ran. He was so excited! He ran all 32 laps!













Jessie and Beau are frienemies. Jessie will lay on any blanket that is on the floor. Even is Beau is on it. BUT Jessie gets to stay at our house because she lets Beau pull on her and hug her and she doesn't care. She is so good with the boys.









This guy and I got to go to a birthday date together. We had a good time.



On career day Grey said he wants to be a teacher.



The boys took a shower by themselves and were so excited they asked me to take a picture.



This guy. This guy naps in our room. Well he has been getting into trouble in there lately. Yesterday I walked into this. He said that he was in the drawer because that is what mice do. What?! He will be napping elsewhere from now on.



Beau is getting wild. He wants to roll all around these days!
