Twenty Seven Weeks Old

We spent the week at home before heading to Florida for the weekend. H is getting so big and is really close to sitting up but not quite there yet.

I did put him in the front of the cart for the first time just to see if he was big enough. I was probably 1 week too early...he was very wobbly, but we made it!

Through my entire pregnancy all I watched were cooking shows. For those 10 months it never really made me want to get up and cook :), but all of a sudden this week I want to try a million new recipes...and we're even getting a little fancy! Nothing like a little Pinterest inspiration to spice up a Thursday.

And the day before we left for Florida...THIS happened! One minute I'm looking down and snapping pictures of Hayden and Tess chewing on their respective toys. Then I take my eyes away for 2 minutes to watch how they are making tomato soup on the television...

...and suddenly THIS is what I look down at! Tess is long gone and not only has Hayden left his boppy behind, but he is giving Tess' bone a taste test....perfect. My first reaction was EWWWWW...which I'm embarrassed to say was immediately replaced by I HAVE TO GET MY CAMERA!

We woke up early Friday morning and headed to the doctor for little guy's 6 month appointment. He was  a champ again for this visit. He is following along the 50th percentile curve for weight almost exactly coming in at just over 17 pounds this visit. And he has jumped to the 75th percentile for length which excites me! Maybe he will have a little height to him. :) Everything checked out perfectly and then we were all set to go on our road trip.

We had dinner in when we got to Florida on Friday night after only two stops during our trip. Considering we had Hayden, Tess and all of Hayden's things smushed into our car...I was very thrilled with our easy trip. On Saturday we enjoyed watching the Noles with Drew and Lindsey and looked forward to finding out on Sunday morning that they would be having a little GIRL! We can't wait to meet her in January. :)

We drove home on Sunday afternoon and got back to the grind the next day. Early the next week I grabbed a few pictures of Hayden to celebrate his 6 month birthday.

These days he can ALWAYS be found with his bottom lip tucked in like this.

I absolutely LOVE this because it is so true to his personality right now. Literally everything goes STRAIGHT INTO HIS MOUTH!

This is what happened when Tess came and laid herself down where we were playing. I tried to get some sweet shots of my girl, but H was determined to get in there himself so he could check out what she keeps in those ears.

Luckily our very tolerant girl didn't seem to mind...kisses warm my heart!!
