Pulling up

Yesterday Jett decided that he was going to skip the crawling step and just start pulling up on things instead.

He is six months old now and he's such a good baby. Sorry I haven't been doing a great job of keeping my blog updated...I'll work on it!

6 month milestones:

• He plays peek-a-boo by pulling a blanket back and forth over his face and he LOVES this game!
• He loves his bath
• He loves to eat and now eats squash, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, bananas, peaches, carrots, apricots, prunes, plums, pears, zucchini, chicken and applesauce.
• He started pulling up on things the day he turned six months (he also started sitting on his own the day he turned 5 months-maybe he'll walk when he turns 7 months?)
• He can get from his belly to a sitting a position on his own.
• We had to lower the mattress in his crib yesterday.
• He thinks George is funny and watches him all the time.
• He loves to drink out of my cup and will grab at it as soon as it is within his reach (there have been several times where I almost ended up with a cup full of water on my lap).
• He's wearing 6-9 month clothes
• He has two teeth

Finally...two front teeth!

Jessica and one of her friends selling chips and soda at our garage sale.

No, not Jessica. Jett! He woke up yesterday morning with his bottom two teeth poking through! It was a rough ride getting them too, I'm hoping that was the worst of it cause it wasn't fun for anyone!

We are still waiting on Jessica's two front teeth. We can see the white under her gums but she doesn't have any teeth breaking through just yet. She might be singing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!" I'm thinking they fell out before her birthday, I'd have to go back and look for sure though.

He's 5 months old and he's sitting up on his own now!

He's getting too big too fast! While I really love all the new things he's learning to do I feel like his baby stage is rushing by much too quickly!

MOMMA!!!! It was so cute and adorable! He'll be 5 months next Monday and we are scheduled to go in for his five month pictures that day. He's getting so big so fast!

Jessica is doing great in school. She's still enjoying it and eagerly gets up every morning (sometimes before her alarm clock) to start getting ready. We've been getting her there about 20 minutes before the bell rings every day so she can go in the gym and chat with her friends for a while. Hopefully that will keep her from talking too much in class! Here is a picture of her and Layne pretending to ride Papa's new scooter.

4 months and a Second grader!

Well it has been a while since I updated this sorry! Jett is now 4 months old...as you can see he is an active little man and didn't want to sit still for his 4 month picture! He is eating some solid foods now. So far he's had sweet potato, avacado, and peas. He's also had one biter biscuit but he hasn't decided if he's a fan of those or not.

Jessica started second grade today. She was so excited to get to school and see her friends, I don't think she has given much thought to the actual school part of it though! LOL Thank you to Meme for another beautiful back to school dress! We love it! And thanks to Nana for her bookbag, it is awesome!

Oatmeal!

Have you ever seen a happier baby?

Catching up: Playing with Nana, Grandpa and first time eating cereal

Jett was having so much fun playing with Nana and Alex (his toy)

Jett had cereal today for the first time. After the first few bites he had the hang of it and couldn't get enough. He started turning his head to the spoon and opening his mouth to get it in there faster!

Grandpa Steve came out from Colorado to spend a few days and meet Jett for the first time. As you can see Jett had a great time!

Misc June pictures

Talking to U. Luke on Skype. Jett thought that was so fun, he babbled on and on for about ten minutes.

I was organizing pictures on the computer and found a few of our favorites that we haven't posted yet. It is so amazing at how much he's changed in only a month!

Basketball camp

Jessica and her friend Alyx at basketball camp. Jess had so much fun and can't wait for the next few days. She told us after today that she wished it was longer because she wasn't ready to be finished for the day!

Here are some pictures of Jett watching and cheering on his sister:

Jessica and our neighbor Payton

Jessica and Jack playing. No she wasn't about to strangle him! LOL

Watching them play I saw flashes of the future, next summer Jett will be running around with her!

Picture update continued:

Sibling love! (I LOVE this picture of the two of them!)

Nana & Jess getting ready for fireworks!

Picture Update!

Three months old! 12 lbs 8.5 oz

My first Fourth of July!

Talking away!

His talking has exploded in the past two days. He will talk to whatever he can find...mirrors, toys, mommy, daddy, sister, etc. He is always so serious when he's telling a story too...no smiles, just complete concentration. We have really been enjoying listening to him and seeing him learn more every day!

Our Beautiful Kiddos!

Here are a few of my favorites from Jessica's 7 year photos. They were having a fairies and fisherman promotion and the manager called me and asked me to bring Jessica in for this promotion because she remembered her from our family pictures. Jessica had so much fun taking all the pictures and they turned out really cute! My favorite is the top right photo.

The top left is the same as the one above but I really like the bronze effect they do. Here are a few of the kids together. When I created the collage it cut Jett's name off...it is spelled with two T's! It wouldn't let me edit it though...sorry!

Here are Jett's three month photos...my favorite in this group is the beach photo.

I LOVE all these! He was getting sleepy during his pictures but he still did a great job! I can't believe my little man is three months old already!

We don't have another doctors appointment until he turns 4 months so I'm not sure exactly what he weighs now or how long he is but he is growing no doubt about it! He's outgrown all of his 0-3 month clothes and he's even wearing some 6-9 months.

Here are some of his milestones this month:

• Taking naps in his bed!!!
• Reaching and batting at objects
• More exaggerated talking
• Going swimming - He LOVES being in the water!

Jett's first swim!

Today we went swimming at McDaniel's pool. At first I just intended to put his feet in the water and let him hang out in the shade but once he got used to the water we ended up all the way in. He LOVED it! He cuddled up to me and almost fell asleep. He stayed under his big shade hat and I put a wet blanket over his shoulders and back so he wouldn't get sun burned and he completely relaxed and enjoyed it. He actually cried when we got out!

These are a few pictures of our neighbor, Jack, and Jett the other day. Jack was loving on him and they were so cute!

Jessica got some really cute pictures taken at Sears a few weeks ago and I have them on CD but the CD drive on my computer isn't working. I hope to get them transferred over to a flash drive this weekend and then I'll post those too. She was with us swimming today too but she wasn't above the water long enough to get any pictures of her! She was wearing her goggles and having a blast doing back flips and diving for the water rings!

Picture update!

Here are pictures from Jessica's birthday, if you click on the collage it will make it bigger.

Here are other misc. pictures from the past two weeks.

Jessica is 7 now!

We had Jessica's birthday party on Sunday and it turned out great! All her friends were able to come except one so she was very excited about that. They all had fun playing in the bounce house, it ended up being a little warm but for the most part they didn't seem to notice. I couldn't (and still can't) find my camera so I'm not able to upload any pictures right now. Thankfully Nana had her camera and took plenty of photos, I will be getting those from her this week so I will upload them as soon as I'm able.

Today we took Jessica to Best Buy to spend her gift card she got for her birthday, while we were there we found out that we can get on the Internet from our Wii! I'm able to get on the Internet so much easier with that! I don't have to go downstairs to update the blog now so hopefully I'll be able to do it a little more often again! Not to mention it is pretty cool and much easier on the eyes to have the full screen on our TV!

Anyway I will get pictures uploaded as soon as I get them from Nana.

Two month check up

We had Jett's two month check up yesterday. He weighed 11 lbs 9 oz and was 23 1/2 inches long. He is in the 50th percentile for both now. Poor little guy had to get shots yesterday, I'm not sure who cried more...me or him! We gave him Tylenol all afternoon and he ran a bit of a fever and seemed to be uncomfortable at times but he is doing well so far today so hopefully he isn't too stiff and sore.

While the doctor was checking him over he pulled his diaper off a bit and peeked at him and said "mmmm.....healthy!" Kevin and I thought it was hilarious and of course Kevin was extremely proud "That's my boy!"

2 months old!

Today is Jett's 2 month birthday! Can you believe he is already 2 months old? It seems like it has flown by! He has his two month check up tomorrow so I will be able to update weight and height officially then. Last time we went a little over a week ago he was 11 lbs 4 oz. He is learning so much and changing daily.

This month he is:

1. Cooing and talking


2. Sleeping through the night (the last two nights he's gone to sleep about 9pm and woken up about 6am!)


3. Smiling regularly and in response to actions


4. Sucking and slurping on his hands


5. Interacting with his toys

Jessica is in Colorado this weekend. Thursday I took both kids to Salina to meet up with Grandpa Ike and Aunt Sharolyn so they could take Jessica to Colorado with them. They went up for a long weekend so she will be back mid-week. She was very excited to see Meme, Poppy & Uncle Marcus! Here is a picture of the kids after their baths in the hotel, if you look REALLY close you can see Jett's little mohawk.
