Lately

 Hadden enjoyed exploring at the Discovery Center. 

Lately: He loves banging toys and making VERY loud noises, 

crawling while pushing a toy, 

climbing, rolling balls or cars along the kitchen floor.

Soooo different than Emerson was at this age.

 It's fun to see the different personalities.

 Emmi at the Discovery Center. Pretending she works at a Vet.

 Lucas, are you ok? 

She has informed us that when she

 grows up she wants to be a doctor of people or animals.

Even though Hadden has popped through two teeth since 

Thanksgiving and has two currently making their appearance,

 he is still a happy little boy.

 This little girl has a sweet tooth. Not sure where she gets that from? :) 

Hold on Hadden, Big Sis is driving!!

Then and Now

What we've been up to...

Enjoying our time together.

Cheering on the Icabods. (Uncle Kaleb is a grad assistant.) 

Sleeping in a big girl bed! Very successful transition.

Learning how to cut.

Making messes! Let me say...this was not fun to clean up.

Growing, growing and growing. He is days away from crawling
AND most importantly HE IS NAPPING (in his bed, without my help)!!
 Hallelujah! Praise the Lord. 

6 Months

19 lbs 15 oz (90th percentile)

He's not quite sure of the grass yet.

Such a joy!

Sleeps 10-12 hours at night and 2 naps.
Sleeps with a blanket.

Thumb sucker!

Adores big sister!
Cries if she's not in the
bath or in the car with him.

Easy going.

Starting to watch cars, enjoys loud noises
 and anything that moves.

The last week...

Emerson and Hadden reading.

We are in trouble very soon.
Need to baby proof the house again.

Such a happy baby (when he's well rested)!
We've had six successful days of naps (morning AND afternoon).
 Makes for a happier baby and a MUCH happier Mommy.

His whole face lights up when he smiles. So precious!

Emerson and Mommy time.
 Pretending to paint her leg??
