Mastering new things

So, i've hit some pretty big milestones the past few weeks. Mommy has been feeding me different color foods - I have had green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots. Since mommy has been showing me fun colors, I thought i would show her some too - in my diaper. He he. :)

About 2 weeks ago, I finally started mastering the art of sitting up. I'm getting pretty good at it, if I do say so myself.

This past weekend mommy and I went to NC to visit my Uncle Lanny, Aunt Jaime, and cousin David. We had a lot of fun. I had a record-breaking nap time of 3 1/2 hours! That David sure wore me out. He kept trying to step on me, but I'm a tough boy.



My great-great grandmother who was 101 1/2 years old passed away on Monday. I went to her funeral today and boy did i look snazzy (?). Everyone told me how cute I am. I really can't help it, you know.


Here's a picture of us together on Mother's Day. She sure was a sweet lady.
This picture is 5 generations - me, daddy, Pop, MawMaw, & Grandmama Flowers.

6 MONTHS!

I am now just over 28" long and 18 lbs. I am growing tall and strong - just like my daddy. I have been rolling over a lot. Mommy keeps putting my toys out of reach so I have to move to get them. What is that all about?


Mommy has also been helping me learn to sit up; sometimes I fall over, but I am actually starting to get the hang of it now.
I have had some sinus problems lately. (That's why I have been a little behind in my writing on this.) Mommy keeps pouring this weird stuff in my nose; sometimes it makes me sneeze.
I have something new and super fun to play on. My friends, Kayden and Lannon, let me borrow this.

I really enjoy "reading" the books.


Oh, and this is pretty big news. Mommy finally let me start eating with my clothes on. Mommy doesn't like messes. But, I heard she talked to my aunt Jaime who was concerned that if this trend lasted too long, I may be taking my shirt off at friends' houses to eat - and then I would be so embarassed. (And so would mommy).
Mommy and Daddy painted the bonus room a fun purple color to make it into a play room for me. Mommy and I have had a lot of fun in there this week.
