16 years from now...

This is what Paul and I have to look forward to in about 16 years.
He's already grabbing for the wheel. "Look, Mom. I can drive already!"

Walking with Mom

T and I were out for a walk yesterday. It was a gorgeous weekend here again. We can't wait for spring!

Play Time



Sippy Cup

I love my new sippy cup. I've even figured out how to drink out of it! Water is yummy!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Well Paul and I received an awesome Valentine's present from Torin tonight. He rolled over FINALLY! YES! Other milestones in the past couple of days are that he is now starting to scoot on his tummy some especially when Cooper is by him. He tries to reach out and get to Cooper all the time.

He is also now eating peas, carrots, prunes, and mixed fruits (banana, apple, pear, etc.). And the biggest addition to food is...his SIPPY CUP! He also started drinking water from his sippy this week and LOVES it! I'll try to get a picture tomorrow and post it.

6 month stats

Torin had a great well check yesterday. He did get some shots, but wasn't too fussy at all last night. Here are the stats:

Height - 26 1/2 inches - 55th percentile
Weight - 18 lbs 11oz - 80th percentile
Head Circ. - 18 inches - 90th percentile

The doctor said he is ready for all 2nd foods now and he has transitioned to formula really well. T decided he was finished with breastfeeding about 2 weeks ago, so Mom and T decided 6 months was a good age to move to formula.

6 Months

My baby is 6 months old today! I cannot believe how big he has gotten and how fast these past 6 months have gone. He has his 6 month well-check on Monday so we will give you the stats then on how big he is. Happy half birthday, Torin!

Grandma Herding's photos

Grandma Herding was here visiting this week and she got some good shots with her new camera as well. Thanks again Grandma for all of your help! Mom and Dad couldn't have made it through the week without you!



For your viewing pleasure...

Here are some videos we've taken over the past couple of weeks. Enjoy!

Silly Grandma

Grandma Herding flew out here on Sunday and will be here through Thursday to help take care of me this week. Debbie is gone on vacation and Daddy is having knee surgery, so we really needed the help Mommy says. So Grandma and I are playing, playing, playing all day long while Mommy and Daddy are at work. I am going to be so spoiled by the time she leaves! But she says that's what Grandma's are for so I'm okay with it! :)

Silly Grandma put me in my stuffed animal basket to play yesterday. I loved it!

nap time

Mommy had to work six days in a row this past week (so much for part time!), so on Saturday when she got home from work Cooper and I decided we should take a little nap with her.

Green Beans and Peaches

I really like green beans and peaches but unfortunately the green beans don't like me. My eczema broke out pretty bad from the green beans and I also had terrible diaper rash. We've put the green beans on hold for a little while and will try them again when I'm a little older. Peaches are YUMMY though. I can eat as many servings of those as I want :)

Next up....avocado and peas :) By the way...are those eyes to die for or what? He is going to be a heartbreaker with those things!

Stuffed Animals

I've started playing with my basket of stuffed animals lately now that Cooper will leave them alone for the most part. He leaves my toys alone, but LOVES to take my stuffed animals away from me so he can play with them.
Here I am telling Yertle and Mr. Fox a story. Mommy got this on video camera too and says it's really funny!
Here is Cooper hanging back, sad that Mommy yelled at him for trying to take my toys away from me. She says I don't have to share my toys with the dog...only other kids.
