6 Months and Gettin' Thick!

While we haven't been up to a lot lately we have been enjoying the little moments with dad and hanging out in the nicer weather! Kellen really loves to read books and loves it more when dad reads to him!



 Lately Kellen has been falling asleep at a moments notice. While I usually notice the signs, sometimes it catches me off guard. This little episode is a result of me trying to get him to be on his tummy. Kellen hates tummy time but I am trying to get him more familiar with it. One night he screamed and screamed until while I wasn't looking he finally gave in and fell asleep.


 Kellen is 6 months now and starting to sit up better by himself. We are trying to introduce more foods and soon will start on the fruit. (I have a feeling when he grows up he still will favor fruits over vegetables). He is starting to babble a lot more and will do a little wave every once in awhile. We go into the doctor here soon, so we don't know his stats yet but he sure is getting thick! Every once in awhile Kellen will watch Baby Signing Time a video we borrowed. While I am not intense about him learning it he really loves watching it and enjoys when I sing him the songs. 


 Here is another one of his sleepy episodes. I was making cookies and thought he was just playing but after I turned around he was out! Brad said Kellen fell asleep on him the other night as well!


I bought my tickets today for Boise and fly out July 18th. While I am excited to see family and friends I am bummed Brad won't be joining us. But with the weather improving we plan on going to many more baseball games and hiking trips before I go out!

Is He Not Just the Cutest!

 This last weekend we got the chance to attend a friend's wedding up in D.C. We took Friday off and went up early and just relaxed. It was nice to get away and spend some time with friends. Kellen did great the whole weekend and even took some naps in the hotel room!


 Kellen might not be able to walk or talk yet but he is ready to drive!



And last I have to show off my newest winnings (practically my only winnings). I still coupon but lately I have been signing up for more freebies and shopping more online. Along with this come random sweepstakes and  instant winning games. About 2 months ago I was playing a Skittles game trying to win and come to find out I won a Pinata stuffed with skittles. 8 weeks later this was on my doorstep. I figured it wouldn't be too big but it only had one little bag of candy :( Nonetheless it was free and that made my day!
