Standing already?!!

The other day I showed Billy how to pull himself up in his crib (with lots of help, of course!) Well, when we showed Jay later, I put Billy's hands on the crib rail, and he pulled himself up! Wow, my life is seriously going to change drastically soon! How on earth do you baby-proof a tiny apartment that is cram packed?


When Emily, Brooke, and Brinnley were here, we went out to a Mexican restaurant. We let Billy try a lime, expecting a funny reaction. But he LOVED it! Here he is enjoying another lime! In the second picture, you can see his bottom teeth.

Swimming in October

I guess that's one of the few positives when it comes to living in a hot and humid climate! While some people are thinking about the upcoming snow season, we're still swimming! Here's Emma and Billy. Emma LOVES being in the water, but Billy wasn't quite so fond of it. I really need to take him more often so that he gets used to it. We have a pool in our apartment complex, so I really have no excuse! When are you guys coming over again, Jaime?!

6 month check-up

6 month stats:
weight: 20.7 lbs
length: 26 3/4"
head circumf: 17 3/4"

His 2nd bottom tooth sprouted this morning!

Toys!

Billy has become VERY interested in toys as of late. Grandma Brimhall bought him the Fisher-price little people farm yesterday and he LOVES it!

Here's a shot of him in the bathtub yesterday. He was being a total ham and Grandma got some GREAT pictures!

First tooth!

It's official. One of his lower teeth popped up yesterday. I'm going to miss that gum-filled smile! :( Hmm, I'm a little nervous about how this will affect breastfeeding. Pointers, anyone?

Almost sitting up!

He's getting close . . . he can nearly support himself. And give the boy some credit - that's a lot of weight to hold up! He fluctuates somewhere between 20-21 lbs lately! Luckily, his weight gain is slowing down, only 2-3 pounds in the past two months. It's becoming totally unreasonable to carry him in his infant seat these days. We'll probably have to upgrade to a convertible seat in the next couple of months. It's probably time to buy a high chair, too. For the love, babies are expensive! :)
