Dear September,

I am ready for your annual appearance to end.  You and I can't seem to get along.  Come on October....

My Little Pumpkin

This morning we had Brock's six month photos at the Arboretum.  I love going to the Arboretum, especially in the Fall when it is full of pumpkins!  Brock had too much to look at and no time to give a big smile, although he did a great job putting up with all of the costume changes.  It was an extremely muggy morning!!!  Thank you Sandra and Eric!  Here are a few photos:

This one is my favorite!

He is my little pumpkin and will hate this photo one day!

Flashback:   My Dad just found a photo he took of me at the Arboretum on September 24, 2007.  How funny that Sandra (and Dad) photographed my bridals exactly three years ago to the day at the Dallas Arboretum. 

  

WHO DAT?!?

Geaux Saints!  Thanks for the onesie Nanny Jen! 

So Ready for Fall

Where is Fall?  Is it lost?  I am hoping it cools down soon, preferably by next Friday as we have Brock's six month photos outdoors.  I am sitting here writing this entry during halftime of the Texas/Texas Tech game.  I sure hope we get it together for the second half!  Here are a couple of photos of Brock (compliments of Grandpa) supporting the Longhorns.

It was very hard getting a good photo of Brock sitting still.  He is always on the go crawling after the next item to get his hands on.  He has an affection for remote controls, cell phones and laptops.  Typical boy.  It has been a busy week as Brock started "school" on Monday.  It seems to have gone well and we like the lady that is taking care of him.  Brock loves being around the other kids and they love having him around.  Let's see, Monday night someone crashed into the back of Buck's truck while it was parked in front of the house.  It was damaged pretty bad as it was hit so hard that it was pushed atleast 6-10 ft into/through the brick mailbox.  Wednesday was my BIG deadline at work and we are moving into the house this weekend.  So, it has been.....just another day in paradise.  In these busy times, I stop and say thank you....thank you for my crazy, busy life....with all of the twists and turns I would not have it any other way.  Although, if you would have asked me that Wednesday morning I may have had a different answer.  I took Thursday and Friday off from work to regroup.  A couple of visits to the spa (yes, a couple! Thanks Mom!), gelato, window shopping (not for actual windows..we have those), spending time with my baby, watching him learn/try to crawl, sleeping in, super husband, college football and good friends willing to help us move....I could not ask for more!  

Six Month Check Up

Five shots this morning!  Yes, five, but our baby boy is so tough.  He took them like a champ.  Again, the dr. said he is looking great-happy and healthy. 

His stats:

Height: 26 3/4 inches - 63rd percentile
Weight: 19 pounds, 9 ounces - 84th percentile
Head Circumference: 44.5 cm - 72nd percentile

Today was Brock's last day of Summer as he starts "school" on Monday.  Let's hope it is a good fit for all of us! 

Happy Half Year Birthday Brock!

A day in the life of Brock at six months old...

Jump, jump, jumperoo!  He is going to launch himself to the moon one of these days.

He loves to sit and play.  I have a feeling he will be into everything soon!

Bmilk, oatmeal, veggies and fruit are all a part of this guy's diet.

Master Wiggle Worm makes it look like you have never put a diaper on a baby before!
