Teething Torture

Poor Christopher has yet to cut a tooth. They are right there, I can feel them desperately trying to get through, but not quite yet. Those teeth are making him cranky and turning him into a drool machine, that's for sure! I can't believe how quickly he is changing!

Beach Baby

We went to the beach yesterday and it was Christopher's first trip there. I wasn't too sure how he was going to like it but he was thrilled. He enjoyed relaxing on the blanket with his toys and sippy cup. Then he took a leisurely float in the water. I think he drank half the Gulf but he didn't seem to mind that it was salt water. Then he watched the boys swimming from his blanket. I think if he could crawl I would have been in big trouble. He really wants to be where the boys are!

The Squirt Gun Fight

Nicholas and I were having a squirt gun fight out on the patio after dinner tonight. Christopher was fussy so I was holding him on my lap. Nicholas was just squirting me at first but then ended up getting Christopher because he couldn't see us through my squirts at him. At first we thought that Christopher was crying but he was hysterically laughing at Nicholas every time he squirted him. He was just laughing and wiggling his arms and legs, he was ready to join in the fight!

Six Months

Christopher will be six months tomorrow, it's so hard to believe! He is going for his check up with Dr. Thole and I am very interested to see how much weighs! He is just growing so fast I can't catch up! He is now rolling from his front to his back, before I know it he'll be crawling and we are all in trouble then!

The Best Hugs

Christopher is giving hugs! He puts his arms around you and lays his head against you, it is just the sweetest thing! He absolutely loves it when you hold him and snuggle with him. He just loves to snuggle!

Sippy Cup

I gave Christopher a sippy cup to test out for the first time yesterday. At first he stared at me and the sippy cup as if I was crazy. When I put it in his mouth and he realized there was something good in there, he grabbed it and started putting it in his mouth himself. He just loved it. As soon as I figure out how to put pictures on here, Kristyn, then I can show off his new skill!

A New Treat

Nicholas let Christopher lick his popsicle today and boy was he excited! I was holding Christopher on my lap and Nicholas was sitting next to us eating his popsicle. All of a sudden I look down and Christopher's tongue is hanging out and he is actually licking the popsicle that Nicholas is holding for him. When he pulled it away, Christopher let out the biggest laugh I have ever heard! Nicholas kept letting him lick it over and over so he could hear him laughing. It was the cutest thing!
