6 Months

Happy half birthday sweet girl! You weigh 15 lbs 5 oz (25-50 percentile) and 26 inches long (50 percentile). Your head is in the 90th percentile. You are such a happy girl. You love to smile and flirt. You are very observant and love to watch people. You are still such a wiggler. When you start to crawl, you are going to be everywhere! You are constantly kicking your legs, which makes changing you a real challenge. You are sitting by yourself, and doing a pretty good job at it! You can roll back to front, but sometimes you forget that you can roll back over once on your tummy. That makes you a little upset :) We are working our way through table food. So far you only have baby food twice a day. 

You are such a joy and make everyone around you so happy! We love you sweet girl!

Jackson had to get in on the picture!

She kicks so much, she kicked right out of her pajamas!

Fall Fun!

Let's catch up! So much has happened since my last post. We took Jackson to his first Alabama game. He loved it! We sat close to the field so he could see the players. He was really into the game and lasted until the 3rd quarter. He loved shaking his shaker, dancing to the music and watching the band. We look forward to taking him to more games next season.

Then we headed home for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of pictures from Thanksgiving! It was so nice to catch up with family. It just goes by way too fast!

5 Months!

Happy 5 months sweet girl!

You are such a sweetie! It's so hard to even remember life without you!

-You are almost sitting up on your own.

-You started eating some cereal within the last couple of days; up next - peas and carrots!

-You can still wear some of your bigger 0-3 month pajamas, but are in all 3-6 month clothing.

-You love to grab toys and chew on everything! You prefer chewing on clothes, blankets, burp cloths and cloth toys instead of plastic teething toys.

-Your favorite thing is kicking your feet. You kick, kick, kick all the time!

-Which brings me to my next point, you will not keep socks on your feet! We've tried all sorts of socks, boots, etc. You will not keep them on.

-You love to sit or stand (with assistance) as opposed to laying on your back. 

-You love to watch people, look out the window, and observe the world!

What we've been up to lately

Trying to get caught up here! Life with two during football season is busy busy and the holidays are just around the corner! Ah!

So, over the last few weeks, we visited the aquarium with Eric's work. Jackson was under the weather, but we were able to spend a little time hitting the highlights. Jackson loved it!

Adalyn made her first trip to Tuscaloosa for the Alabama/Tennessee game! The weather was gorgeous. We had lots of great company, food and fun!

Here are a few pics from the last month or so.

Fall Festivities!

Fall is in full swing! There's football, cool weather, pumpkin spiced goodies....I could go on. We love fall!! Jackson was really into Halloween this year. He was very decisive in his choice of costume - Spiderman! He was even more into Trick or Treating. We could hardly keep up! Adalyn was less enthusiastic, but was still super adorable as a Strawberry!
