6 Months: Lewis

Our little ham bone turned 6 months old yesterday! He's sitting up on his own, often smiley, and he loves to make others smile.

At his appointment this afternoon, Lewis weighed  14 lbs 6 oz (4th percentile) and measured 25.5 in (9th percentile) long! So he's still a peanut. He's growing up and as much as we miss the snuggly little newborn stage, it's been so fun to watch him grow and learn.


Lewis loves: peas, squash, sweet potatoes, celery, mushrooms, & teething biscuits.
He does not like: sleeping alone (still), waiting to be picked up...when he really wants to be held, & being awake in the evenings.

Here are some outtakes from his photo shoot yesterday. He had a super cute outfit on, but he spit up on Dad only 20 min prior to these pics. Not impressed, bud.

 He went swimming for the first time and while he wasn't sure what to think right away, once he figured out how to splash--he had so much fun! He would've played for quite a while if his pesky chin hadn't started quivering.

 Doesn't he look like a little boy and not a baby?? 

Daycare has been better lately. He loves his daycare lady and he's been working on waving good-bye to people! He's rocking his flannel and continuing to look like a bald old man.

 

Lew and Mom went grocery shopping one Saturday morning while dad was recovering from (another) cold. So naturally, we had to stop at Tim Horton's. He'll learn early on that Saturdays are for TimBits and coffee.

Even though he doesn't like to sleep in his crib at night, he does nap very well in it during the day.

He even naps well on the bathroom floor! :)

It's been such a fun month with little Lewis. We love watching him explore and learn things every day. We even love noticing that his hair is growing...finally!

Lew, your dad and I love you so much. You're the perfect addition to our family...even if you don't sleep in your own bed yet.

Five on Friday

It's Friday! This has been the longest short week of the year... I know, I know. The year has barely begun. Let's join April for Five on Friday.

one | Inauguration

We watched the Inauguration in class today. Some students grumbled, some were happy for the break. But a common theme that we discussed was the fact that even though we might not be happy with the outcome of this most recent election, it's important to not wish failure upon our new president. I was impressed with most students' maturity in response to a new president that they didn't vote for. I hope this is a reflection of who they'll continue to be as adults.

two | supper

A friend posted a photo to her IG story of their supper this week. Sweet potato zoodle pad thai. Uhm. Can you say, "Yum"?? She shared the recipe with me and I'm so excited to try it tonight. We may even add some chicken for a little more protein.

Here's the link from Chelsea's Choices. Check out my snap story if you want to see any updates.

three | Lewis

He's starting to become mobile! I laid him down the other day by his blue cow...and he shimmied his way over and fell asleep on the floor. He cracks me up.

four | family

We spent our long MLK weekend in Iowa with Kyle's sister and her family. It was nice to be away from home and spending time with people we don't see often enough. Lewis had a great time with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. And then the drive home didn't go so well. He slept for 2.5 (ish) hours and then screamed most of the way home. Oi.

five | LLR

Time for some clothes talk. I hosted a LuLaRoe party this last week and it was so fun! It was an online party, so it was even easier to shop because you could browse from your couch in your sweats. My friend, Ashley, is a LLR retailer and she's awesome! She made the party so much fun and she was so personable for my friends to shop with. Go check her out on Facebook. Her weekly parties are on Wednesdays!

And if you host a party, you have the chance to win some free clothes!
