6 months pictures preview

I dressed the babies in their "outfits" for pictures tomorrow just to see what it might look like...

HAIRCUT!

Well, it's done. I had to do it. I was afraid he would hate me in 16 years if I took too many more pictures with his crazy hair. Here are some pictures of the event... Andrea got her bangs trimmed as well.

Life's sweetest moments...

I am blogging right now because my family is asleep... yes, I took these pictures a few minutes ago...

Congrats Ryan and Jane!

Ryan and Jane just had their baby girl! We are so excited! Now Andrea and David have their first FIRST cousin! YAY!!!! We can't wait to meet her and see lots of pictures! These pictures are from a while back, when we went down to Sarasota. I don't think I posted these, they are from Jane's baby shower that we went to while we were down there.

David... his fifth month

David is a mover! He loves to roll around, like I said earlier. I caught him rolling around, talking and playing with his toes earlier today. He loves to push up from his belly and look around. I am so blessed to be able to experience a growing baby twice in my life. Andrea was a joy to watch as she explored her fascinating new world, and David is no different. He goes about things a little different than Andrea... we will have two totally different kids, that is for sure! On a different note... his hair keeps getting thinner and thinner on top. Soon he will be all blond I think! I believe I will have to go take him to get it shaped up though...

more blue ridge pictures

Here are some of the "activities" and us just hanging out...

Ridind Mike's "toy", shooting guns, and even though I don't have the pictures yet, we did play games and throw frisbee and watched the FOUR dogs play! Check out the quarter... First Danny shot it for Dad, then Mike shot it, then Michael said it would be cool if they made a triangle... then Dad shot it and made it the cool cousin quarter... Boys and their toys, never grow up!

Blue Ridge GA

We haven't had a "reunion" with my DaddyBob's siblings and family since, well, ever... that I can remember. We don't get to see his sister and her family much due to the fact that they live on the southern tip of FL, gulfside. We would get to see them on rare occasions when we were little, and those were a treat! His younger brother's family, well, I don't think we ever really got to see them much... such a shame. They even live closer... in GA!


All that changed in one glorious weekend! We had a very impromptu reunion this past weekend. It was much better than a typical "reunion" though... we stayed the whole weekend, absolutely loved catching up with each other and had a blast just being together and hanging out. You would think we all got together regularly the way we all got along! We missed the few who couldn't make it tremendously. We are really hoping to make this an every year thing... so those who didn't make it this year may be able to make it in the future.


Dad's (first) cousins were all so hospitable, they made YUMMY food, and had some fun activities. Andrea and David loved all of the attention, of course, and hopefully next year will have some playmates that I got to hear so much about this year!





Let's start out with some traditional reunion shots...

<--- the cousins


<--- the siblings Oh my... I just noticed something really crazy... the cousins are standing in the "correct" order, lined up like their parents... weird! First DaddyBob's, then Annie's (no Mitch :( ), then Bill's kids...

Us...

So I haven't had many posts of what Michael and I have been up to... we went to one of my best friend's wedding last weekend, and left the babies at home. This past weekend we all went to the mountains in Blue Ridge, GA to catch up with family members we hadn't seen in quite sometime! I will post those pics later, but for now, here are some wedding pictures courtesy of Sabrina...

Comparison...

Here are David, Andrea, Michael, and I all between 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 months, what do you think?

David is 5 month old!

Yes, he is still growing! He is such a joy. We have been giving him cereal this month and he takes it happily! I guess we will start veggies towards the end of this month... if he is like Andrea he will like everything and eat like a little piglet :) He actually has a little cold right now, which is strange because Andrea got a little cold at this exact same time in her first year... maybe it is the weather... David can sit up for seconds at a time and can thrust and roll accross the room in no time! He still loves his sister and watches everything she does. He can grab things and put them into his mouth, but not very accurately yet... I am not looking forward to that stage! He loves to smile and laugh when we sing or just talk to him. We found out the other day that he is ticklish! At 6 months I am going to have a professional picture taken of my babies together, so hopefully we will get a good one!

His hair is still crazy, maybe I will do a photo shoot to show everyone just how crazy it is! With Andrea, I just put a bow in and didn't worry about it, but with him it just looks like a comb over... I may have to break down and get it shaped up a little...

Andrea, the 2-yr-old

Andrea is very active and thinks she is a big girl! She feeds her baby like mommy feeds david, she puts her babies in the swing with David, and she also pulls wipes out of packages before you can say stop! Yes, the mounds of white are two full packages of wipes... we are using them out of a gallon zip-loc bag now...
