Six Months ALREADY!!

How hard it is to believe that my BABY is already six months old! I guess time flies right by when you are busy! :) We had our 6 month check up last week and are diong great! Dr. Lovell was terribly shocked by how much the boys look alike. He is fully convinced that if I was able to sit a 6 month old Kevin next to a 6 month old Sam, that Brian wouldn't be able to tell them apart! :) Note: he says it is a little more difficult to fool moms! :)

Samuel is 27 1/4" long (85%) and weighs 17 lbs and 3 oz. (50%). He is doing all the right things for his age and we have started on FOOD. He absolutely loves eating and definitely prefers anything orange to green. Carrots and Sweet Potatoes are his favorite veggies and I have only allowed one fruit (pears) because I know that he won't want to eat anything else if I am not careful!

He doesn't officially crawl, but the child is very resourceful and can get to just about anything that he wants if you put him on the floor. I wasn't near as nervous about all that when Kevin was his age, but then, we didn't have an older one that liked to leave little toys lying around either! :) This morning I set him in the middle of the floor and he was 5 feet away from where I had put him when I came back in the room.

We are AWANA Cubbies...

Kevin started AWANA Cubbies this year and absolutely loves it! I was a little concerned about my ability to teach him his verses each week, especially considering that he seldom sits still. But apparently his memory is really good... even if he can't sit still while he says them! :)

Kevin's Performance

As promised... some fun video of Kevin rocking out.

Sam's Belly Laugh

Last night Kevin really had Sam tickled. Not sure what the real reason for all the laughter was, but needless to say it sure was fun! We thought it was the whistle, but so far today the whistle hasn't had the same affect. Must be a brother thing! :)

The video was too large to upload here, so I put it out on You Tube. The quality isn't as good once you put it out there, but you can hear the laughter which is really the funny part anyway!

Enjoy!

School Pictures

The boys got their pictures taken at school a couple weeks ago. They are SO big!

We love the Razorbacks!

Football season has started and so has our support of the Razorbacks. Here's some pictures of the boys sporting their Razorback gear! Go Hogs!

Great News

Many of you know, but several of you don't so I thought that I would update everyone. Several weeks ago, I found a lump and went to my doctor (just to be on the safe side). We decided not to tell anyone before we went to the doctor, so that no one would worry. The doctor really thought the lump was nothing, but wanted to be on the safe side given my family history with cancer, so she scheduled a mammogram & ultrasound.
Now several weeks, much prayer, and several tests later, we know that the lump is benign and all is well. PRAISE GOD! :)
