Poppa's Visit

My dad, a.k.a. Poppa, came to visit us the first weekend in December. We had a ton of fun and are so sad he had to go home!

Decorating our tree

We decorated the house and put up the tree Thanksgiving weekend. It was so much fun to watch Kayla's amazement at everything. Stephen is still too young to understand what is going on, but Kayla sure did have fun!

Baking Cookies

Kayla and I baked cookies this week. We made the dough, rolled it out, cut it out and frosted them!

Stephen eats rice cereal!

Stephen attempted his first solid this past weekend. He ate rice cereal Friday night and hated it! We tried again on Sunday and he did a little better.

Kayla is always by her brothers side!

Stephen's 6 month checkup!

Stephen had his 6 month checkup yesterday. He is doing well developmentally and had 4 shots. He didn't cry with the shots until the last one and only cried for a minute. He is so brave!!! We were also told her can now start on solids. We are going to start giving him rice this weekend! Here are his stats:

Height: 26" - 36th percentile

Weight: 20 pounds, 3 ounces - 89th percentile

Happy Halloween
