6 months/Turkey day!

Jace is 6 months now and I seriously can't belive it. People always say how fast time flies and I never quite understood till now. We are loving the stage he is in right now. He has such a fun little personality and keeps us so entertained. He is very snuggly wich I LOVE! His knew think is to grab your face with both hands and give you a big open mouthed kiss, it's more like he's knawing on your face, it cracks me up. He is starting to hold his arms out when you go to grab him it's like he's saying hold me, makes me feel so loved. He loves his daddy and lights up when Gabe gets home from work. The second he hears his voice he turns to see him and starts kicking his legs and squeeling in excitement, so cute! He's liking baby food a lot more, but would prefer human food. I fed him a little mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving, and he was loving it. Any time your eating anything he opens his mouth wide and tries to gab it. We adore him and are looking for the next milestones in his life, but also don't want him to grow too fast.

6 month stats
Height: 28.5"-96% Yes he's tall but it's to be expected:)
Weight: 17.5lbs-45% His cheeks weigh most of that I think;)
Head cir: 15.5"-68%

He's sitting up so well now which is so nice cause he is a lot happier being able to see more things.

We went to pirate island for our nephews B-day and Jace saw this skeleton and thought hmm I wonder how this tastes, seeing as he has to taste everything.

I know, kinda gross/creepy!

Such a baldy! Ha we love him, Happy 6 months Jace!!

Thanksgiving was great as usual. Between yummy food, great family, late thursday night craziness shopping, seeing my aunt get married on thanksgiving, and having Gabe home all weekend long, it was a very enjoyable holiday weekend!

I am so thankful for my life and the people that surround it that make life worth living!! Happy Thanksgiving.

My sis Cami with her niece and Nephew, such a cute auntie!

Love my family... and the yummy food!

My dad is an amazing cook and made the main dishes for our feast. We even had a smoked turkey wich was divine, and so moist!

Nicole made these cute Thanksgiving treats with our names on them where we were sitting, so creative!

That night my mom and sisters and I went out in the craziness at 10 p.m. to do some shopping, we attempted to go to toys r us, but the line was waaaay too long, you had to be nuts to wait in it, not to mention it was freezing, so we hit up some other stores that weren't as bad but still annoyingly crouded. We stayed out till 2 a.m. and got some great stuff, it was a fun girls night.

I didn't capture any pics of our next day of thanksgiving with Gabes side of the fam, there was great food and great company... lets just say I ate way too much, but hey it's only once a year so you gotta get your feel in right? It was a great fun filled weekend!

We also got to go on a dat just Gabe and I, these are rare these days cause Jace is usually with us, so it was so nice to get out. We went to dinner and met up with our friends Christie and Scottie to see Unstoppable. Thanks to my parents for watching Jace for us. It was a much needed break!

Jace Man!

I just wanted to post some pictures of Jace man over the last month or so, he is getting so cute and so fun. He'll be 6 mon in a few weeks. I know crazy!!

Jace is definitely a morning boy and is always so happy when he wakes up!

I thought he looked so peaceful and cute so I had to take a pic.

All bundled up when we went for a walk one day!

He loves his bumbo chair especially because he can see my every move. If he can't see someone in the room then he flips out!

He's getting close to sitting up but still flops over after a few seconds.

Alright so I am guilty of setting him in front of the T.V. to get dinner ready or just stuff done around the house, but he loves it:)

Jace use to love baby food then he threw it up one day and a couple more times so I stopped feeding it to him for like a week and tried it again, and now he hates it. He makes a sour face every bite and gags on it. I'm not sure what to do. I guess I'll just keep trying it until he likes it again, if he ever does.

Daddy and Jace man before church one Sunday!

He loves to read books, well I should say look at them since he can't read yet:)

Such a happy boy we LOVE him to pieces!!

Halloween!!

We had a great Halloween this year! First we carved pumpkins with the Lambs. It's a tradition to get together with them and see who can carve the best pumpkin! We always have a blast with them! Thanks Christie and Scottie.

Jace hung out in his bumbo and helped us carve. It was cute he kept holding onto Christies pumpkin and wanted to help so bad:)

Gabes mean witch

We went to a halloween party over at the Maughans house. They just moved back so we can now resume our halloween parties! It was a blast. We played fear factor, which was so funny/fun, had a costume contest, did the limbo, and ate a tone of yummy food. It's always a good time and we can't wait for next year!

Here is our family pic, I was Dorothy, Gabe the scare-crow, and Jace was toto the dog!

Toto and I

So cute!

We had a whole wizard of oz clan... Alissa-the wicked witch of the west, baby Ethan-flying monkey, Adam-tin-man, us Dorothy, scare-crow, and Toto, Austin-the Lion, and Andrea- the good witch. I thought we all looked the part, it was fun!

The whole clan! For the costume contest, Bert and Ernie won(Bionca and Greg) 2nd place was Grease(Mike, Dyami, and baby June) and our group got third place. I thought every ones costumes were great though!! (and yes I did steal this pic off your blog Ang:) thanks!)

This is a pic of baby Ethan and Jace at the party. There costumes were on for about 10 seconds and then into there jammies they went:) They are a day apart in age, so I'm sure they are going to be best buds!! Jace kept staring and grabbing at him:)

Such fun memories!! We are looking froward to next year!!

4 MONTHS!!

Jace is 4 months now and has changed so much since he was born. He has such a fun little personality and makes me smile every time I see him. He is at the stage where he laughs out loud and smiles pretty much every time you smile at him. It's so fun!! We love him to pieces and are so glad he's ours!


Here are his four month stats...
Height:26"-80th%
Weight:16lbs 7oz-73rd%
Head cir:17"-69th%


Things about Jace at 4 months,

• He sleeps with four blankets(one underneath him,one rapped around him,one by his face, and one over top of him). Oh and don't forget the binky, that is a must.
• He hates tummy time and just grunts and whines till you flip him over.
• He jibber jabbers all the time
• He loves to suck on any ones shoulder when holding him and will soak your shirt in a matter of seconds.
• He has separation anxiety and will cry if you leave the room and then be all smiles as soon as he can see you again.
• Has started eating rice cereal. He kept fussing after I would feed him so it was time to give him something with a little more substance, now he's much happier! He still nurses all of the time too.
• He drewls all of the time, non stop. It kinda drives me crazy but what do ya do?!
• He takes about four 30 min naps throughout the day and then sleeps through the night. I have tried to make him sleep longer, but he is just wide awake after the 30 min so whatever i'm fine with it.
• He has started to pay attention to toys and will grab them and put them in his mouth.
• Whenever he's laying on his back he tries his hardest to sit up, it just looks like he's doing crunches. Pretty soon he's going to have a 6 pack if he keeps it up!:)
• He loves to be outside. If he's ever in a bad mood i'll just take him out side and he will chip right up.
• He loves to be thrown in the air by his dad or do airplane. He gets the biggest grin and laughs so hard, it's so cute!
• He loves to watch TV, especially football with his dad. I was feeding him the other day and Gabe turned on football he stopped eating and turned his head and starting watching the game. He's totally his dads kid!
• He thinks he's a big boy and is costantly wanting to stand.

Here are some pics of him at four months!

Standing all by him self (for about 10 seconds)like a big boy!

He just looked so sweet and peaceful I had to take a pic

He sits so well in the bumbo chair and loves to be able to look around

First bite of something besides breast milk. He did really good and seemed to like it.

Hangin out on the grass

Jace and his friend Laney. They are only a month apart. It's so cute how they were staring and grabbing at each other.

We went to Chuck-e-cheeses one day with the kiddos. Bentley had a blast but jace was still too young to really know what was going on.

This is a random video of Jace taking a bath. He is a very serious kicker and splashes like crazy! He loves bath time and would stay in there for hours if I would let him. Such a funny boy.

This is a video of him giggling when I was tickling him. Don't mind my ugly tickle tickle voice:)
