Half a Year

Link is 6 months old and I can't imagine life without him in it! He is the sweetest, most laid back baby and goes with the flow through everything! At 6 months Link is 16 lbs and 27 inches, he nurses all day long, he rolls everywhere, sits independently while playing with any toy he can grab, is trying to crawl by getting on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth, giggles at Palmer and Leo the most, does a high pitch squeal when he's pleased or happy with something, says "mamama" when he's crying, and loves peas, bath time, and wagon rides. His nicknames are Linky, Linky Doodle Doo, Doodle Bug, Doodle Doo, and Linky Dinky Dink. Here's a look at our Link through the past 6 months...

Life

Sunday, October 5

1. Church...love our Sunday morning routines: the 8:30 service and breakfast afterwards with our precious family!

2. A high of 75 degrees made for a gorgeous day!

3. Sunday night dinner in our backyard...pushes on the swing, gymnastics in the grass, looking for the moon In the sky.

Monday, October 6

1. Windows open and curtains billowing in the wind

2. Hot chocolate for an afternoon snack.

3. I made pulled BBQ chicken for dinner. Leo ate all of his salad and asked to be excused. I asked him if he ate some chicken. He said, "what chicken?" When I pointed to the BBQ chicken he said, "that's not chicken, it's mulch!" Hilarious!

Tuesday, October 7

1. Haircuts for my handsome boys

2. An orange, red, and blue sunset!

3. Palmer's special night! We had root beer, popcorn, and watched caillou together in bed. He must have said, "I love you mommy and daddy!" A million times. We love him so much!

Wednesday, October 8

1. A lunch date with a great neighbor and friend.

2. The way link grabs my face and slobbers all over it. He's teething and loves to gnaw on anything he can grab.

3. Selling baby stuff on craigslist...bittersweet but feels good at the same time.

Thursday, October 9

1. Having the splash park all to ourselves for a morning swim.

2. Family photo shoot at the community park. First photos where our "entire" family was present. Can't wait to see them!

3. Leo's special night! Root beer and popcorn in bed while watching football at his request! He smiled the whole time and told us it was his favorite night so far! (We are making this a monthly tradition, special time with each of our five babies)

Friday, October 10

1. Decorating the doorway with a new scarecrow.

2. Friday family dinner at Napolis.

3. Isla's special night! Root beer and pizza and watching "Live, with Kelly and Michael." She loved it and talked about "boyfriends" the whole time. We told her there will be no boyfriends till high school.
