Bowling madness

We took Ryden bowling and had a grand ol' time.  Ry was an expert...picking up the 6 lb ball and rolling it all on his own!  He gave us a run for our money

Waiting for the ball to come back.  Super 'cited' each time it did

Great kicks

Not a good idea.  Nice action shot of my bowling ball

Trev = Not impressed.  He had just had a massive blow-out and mother of the year didn't bring any spare clothes.  Stinky butt!

Big shot

It only took about 45 minutes to roll down to hit the pins.  Reminds me of the days I worked at a preschool and being bored to tears while I waited about a thousand times for a ball moving slower than a snail

Head for the hills

BEFORE

AFTER....such a little boy now

I'M 6 MONTHS OLD!!

WEIGHT:  16.2 LBS

FAVORITE TOY:  A train that spits balls out (sounds amazing) and his Sophie the teething giraffe although he mostly likes to beat it against his jungle mat.

FAVORITE ACTIVITY:  Being in the baby Bjorn.  Anytime he's in that darn thing he squeals and kicks his feet.  At the grocery store he screams for joy and people always turn their heads thinking somethings wrong.  Then they laugh when they realize he's having a grand ol' time

MILESTONES:  Holds his own bottle if he's laying down.  Sits up for a little while and then plummets forward which Ryden thinks is so funny.

MOM'S FAVORITE:  Seeing him around Ryden.  He is just in awe of his big brother!  When Ry acknowledges him you would think Trevin just won the lottery or something

DAD'S FAVORITE:  Watching him become a big boy.  The months seem to fly by so fast this time around so seeing him change every day is amazing

**(We still are not sleeping through the night!  We have a few good nights and then some rough ones.  This too shall pass)

Georgia on my mind

The hit of the weekend?  Miss Georgia!  Always excited over everything!  Scooby-do legs trying to get to someone fast to say hello.  Sitting by Cody's belly the whole weekend.  Waiting by Katie's legs hoping she would drop a morsel of food.  On our 'run', stopping to sniff every bug, walk up every porch stair, and zig zagging the whole way.  Sun bathing in the sun.  Refusing to get in her kennel.  She was a joy!

Seeing the sights

The next day I had to leave so we did a little bit of sight seeing.  It was rather cold and windy but the town was perfect and cute.  Had to take the traditional 'around the table' pictures during lunch

There were not many people around since it was Sunday (everything is closed) and freezing so we had George Washington take our picture.  

Cody's camera takes about 50 shots at a time....here are the results:  AWESOME-NESS

Raise the roof mom

Showering Cody

One of the main reasons we all headed to VA was to throw a baby shower for Cody.  I swear, I have never seen a cuter pregnant girl ever.  And she is happy and glowing!  Can you believe she has two babies in there?

The shower started off with one of my homemade picture slideshows.  Unfortunately, the disc wouldn't play in the DVD player so we all huddled around the laptop

After some water works from Mom, we started in on the games.  Although GG Pie didn't win, she did come up with the best answers.  Name something that starts with A that's baby related.  ALASKA!

Bring on the presents!

Onesies with my dad's leather shop logo...cute!

Of course we ohh'd and ahh'd over the girl clothes

Best book eva!

What a fun time....glad Katie had some time away from the kitchen.
