We're still here!

There has been a lot going on here at the Hamilton House. It's has been CRAZY!!! Things do seem to be slowing down some and I am so glad (and tired!).



We had some friends over to play...

Wyatt has decided that he is a big boy and can sit however he wants in the bouncy chair.

He is sitting up all by himself. He LOVES outside
Then we had more friends over for a few days.

Cady now thinks it's funny to mess with W. Here she is putting grass in his hair...

We ate watermelon with our cousins who stayed with us and played for a few days.

We ate it in the grass,

and did silly things to our cousins.

Wyatt got to try some too :)
As you can see, he loved it!

We ran down the slide (which I'm sure wasn't all that safe, but oh so fun!)

and jumped down the slide.

We laid around and were happy to be together!

Cady is now Mrs. Independent. She is learning how to dress herself. She is having a little trouble in the pic above because, well, that's a shirt.

On the 8th of this month W started army crawling. He doesn't go very far yet, but he is now ON THE MOVE!
We had W's 6 month appointment last Tuesday where we learned:
- he weighs 19 lbs 5 oz.
and
- he is 26 & 1/2 inches tall.
So he is in the 80th percentile for weight and the 60th percentile in height.
We are also able to start having table foods and a little milk.
Currently we are trying to bottle break this little guy, because the only thing he wants to eat from is ME, and that makes it REALLY difficult to ever go anywhere for more than 2 hours.


Do you know what this is??? I bet you do!
We are officially working on it. I wasn't planning on starting for a while, but suddenly it was just time. All of Cady's animals and dolls have been going pee pee and poo poo on the potty for quite sometime now. So our water bill has already been going up with all the extra flushing. Then Monday morning Cady started telling me when she needed to go. Of coarse I had only ordered this potty on Sunday, so it wasn't here yet. We used the big potty for the first few days and then this little guy arrived on Friday. So we had been doing without it. Then Cady saw it on Friday and knew exactly what it was...so now we're using it. Is that going backwards??? Oh well. The BIG news is that we have gone from using an 80 count box of diapers every 5 days to one every 10 days. Cha-ching!

they hate what's in front of them.
They fight because they love what's behind them."
