6 months old!

Deacon is 6 months old! I can't believe how fast time is flying. We have loved every second of being parents to this wonderful little boy. He had his 6 month checkup and weighs 20 pounds! He is 27 1/2 inches long and is in the 95th percentile for weight, height and head size. Today we will start him on veggies (expect messy pictures to follow!) He should be sitting up on his own by now, but he hasn't yet. I told the doctor, and he said that Deacon was too fat to sit up on his own! He said it would take just a little longer for a baby his size to sit up. I have been taking pictures of Deacon on his "bear chair" every month since birth. I can't believe how little he used to be!


Brand new baby


6 months later...



Deacon, mom and dad love you so much! We are so happy to have you as a son!

Got it!

Apparently Deacon like to show off for his dad. As soon as terry got home from work, we put Deacon on the floor and he started rolling like crazy! And yes, I even got it on video. Enjoy!

Success!

Today Deacon rolled over from back to tummy! I was doing Pilates (yes I am attempting to lose weight) and Deacon was laying next to me on the floor. Apparently he wanted to be just like mom and was trying out some moves of his own, when he rolled right over! Definitely tougher for him than tummy to back, but I have no doubt he will be all over the place in no time. I have yet to catch it on video, so enjoy this post-bathtub pic.

Roll over, baby!

Deacon has finally rolled over! Okay, it was a week ago but he was really slow at it. The other day I put him on his tummy, and ta-da! He rolled right over! He did it about 4 more times that day, and now he loves it. This kid is growing way too fast!

I thought I should try it one more time, just in case it was beginners luck...

Just Because

Okay, these are for Maria because she won't quit bugging me about posting them! I'm pretty sure no one else is interested. P.S- Deacon will be 5 months on the 22nd! Time is flying!

All tuckered out! I guess to much bouncing will do that to you. He slept like that for an hour!

These next two videos were taken at my Dad's. I guess Deacon thought his Uncle Spencer was the funniest guy ever, but not Grandpa!

The Spitting Game

This is Deacon's favorite pastime. I'm hoping the spitting means he loves me, but who knows with this kid?

P.S- This is now an official mommy blog. I am sorry.

Deacon's Big Day

Well we finally got around to blessing Deacon. Terry was pretty nervous to do it, so we kept putting it off. Sunday was the big day and it turned out great! We both have awesome families that made the long trek to Syracuse to see the little guy get blessed. Afterwards, we had lots of good grub at the house. Thanks to everyone that came and brought food! We had a great time!

So handsome in his little suit! Yes I am a bad mother and didn't get pictures of me, Terry and Deacon together! The day was to crazy. I'll have to "re-create" the day next Sunday.

Someone is glad the big day is over!
