6 months

Six months in and Brad is doing well!

At six months Luke was 25 and 3/4 inches tall and weighed 15 lbs 10 oz. He had already had his hair cut! He was an excellent sleeper and a good eater. Luke always was the chill baby, just so easy going.

Brad was 26 inches long and 17 lbs 12 ounces at six months.
Brad was still not sleeping through the night and our pediatrician told me to stop feeding him at 3 am and make him cry it out. We did that and it took only a couple of nights for him to start making it to about 6 am.
Brad is a great eater and still smiles and laughs so easily but can get really mad really quickly too. He LOVES the bouncy chair and will bounce himself to sleep in it!

Peas

Ok, I think this is the last video I took of Brad eating.

This time I made him peas. I remember Luke liked them as a baby and even though we don't make peas for ourselves here at this house, I figured Brad deserved a chance to decide for himself if he liked them or not.

In this instance, he did not seem to care for peas. However, he does tend to eat them well whenever I give them to him (I just ran out of the first batch I made a couple of weeks ago, one bag of frozen peas lasted a long time!)

My little cutie pie!

New desk

Luke and I had a great time working on this little project together. My Dad brought up my old desk from their house for Luke. It was white and looking a little worn down and the knobs were pretty girly so we decided to give it a makeover. Luke supervised the sanding, and tried his hand at it too. We went to home depot and he chose black for the color of his desk. He helped me paint it out in the garage (the first coat). I ended up doing 3 coats total to get it looking good. We moved it into his playroom and now it is a great spot for him to color and draw. We just need to find some pull knobs for it, if anyone knows of a place to get some fun pull knobs let me know. The ones at home depot are boring, I'd love to get some trucks/cars knobs.

Brad eats pears, Noah is the clean-up crew

Brad tries out some pears. I fully expected him to like them and I think he did :) You can hear Luke in the background playing chef. This is a game he has been doing for a while, he likes to make you food and pretend to bring it to you, he can play this game for quite a while and sometimes his creations are really interesting!

As any good dog should, Noah tries to help out in the clean up department!
