Tobin is Six Months

Tobin is our record breaker around here.  Traditionally, we have long, lean babies.  Our Sweet T has decided to stir things up.  He’s not really the shortest (but close to it) but he is definitely our chunkiest.

We absolutely love having a chunky monkey.  He’s so incredibly squishy and kissable!  It’s such a treat.

At six months, he is giggling and smiling.  He has no problem going to anyone but Mama gets the dives when I reach out my hands or walk by.   He is constantly moving and I think that is one of the reasons he can’t sit up for more than thirty seconds.  He has figured out that he can roll to get wherever he wants to go.  He is teething almost constantly.  His fifth tooth (yes FIVE) broke through the gums this past weekend and the sixth is soon to follow.  He loves eating avocado, grabbing whatever we have near him, and dogs and cats.  No crawling yet but he is pushing up pretty high on his hands and the knees are getting close.

Mark and I joked that he is definitely not an easy baby but he does make us laugh and smile a lot.  God knew we needed lots of laughs and smiles!

Stats:  20 lbs 8 oz., 27 1/4 inches long

He’s in 12 months clothes and those are starting to get tight ya’ll.

Happy Birthday, Silas!

Silas turned eleven this year!  It’s been a long year full of lots of ups and lots of downs.  I’m so grateful we have been there for him these past two birthdays and we look forward to celebrating many more with him!

He asked for a chess cake this year!  Those are chocolate molds.  Fun to make but they were definitely challenging!

Our One and Only

The only snow day we had this winter was in January.  Technically, we would just call it flurries.  But the white stuff was floating through the air and the kids just HAD to go out and play in it.   It’s sticking.  To the van.  And the leaves.  For a few seconds.

It continued to snow all day but never got cold enough to stick.  I admit it was beautiful watching it come down in sheets…but it was even more glorious that it didn’t stick!  We live in the South for a reason ya’ll!
