BIG HUNK!

 

About a week and a half ago, we took a little trip down to college station to see some of our favorite people in the world, the Feldmans. While getting gas before we left, I decided some snackies were needed for our fun road trip. I ask Myles what he would like, and like he does often, he responded with, "I don't care"...however, he soon added to that phrase, "surprise me, get me something I have never had before." For the average person that may not be a hard task, but Myles tries weird things all the time, so this was a challenge! I went inside and the challenge was on!

One item I was particularly drawn to because of its name... BIG HUNK! I thought it was hilarious, I had to get it for my own hunk of a man! Sure enough, the BIG HUNK was a big hit, and was totally new to Myles. Besides the fact that it was really hard to bite into and chew, it was actually pretty good. The taste reminded us of those little white peanut butter candies...you know with the black stripes on the wrapper. So if you are ever in the mood to try something new...and really chewy, give the BIG HUNK a try!

YUM!

See, chewy...Trying to get it out of his teeth. lol.

What a HUNK!

Oh, I love life with him! He makes everything so fun!

Eli's Room- Bumper pad

Since we have moved and gotten semi settled, I thought it was time to start working on Eli's bedding. Especially since he has been sleeping in his room for a while now and hits his head on the crib railing and sticks his arms and legs out though the spaces. Yep, it was time to get that boy a bumper pad before he got himself stuck!

When I was pregnant looking at nursery decor, different bumper pads/ baby bedding, and such, I decided I would make my own. The ones I found that I like were on pottery barn's website, and I thought they were a little pricy. So I thought, I'll just make it myself...no big deal right? Well of corse, I can't do the simple thing and just find one fabric I like and make the bumper pad from that...no I decide that several different fabrics in stripes would be cute. And it is cute. But it took forever!! By the time I was about done piecing the stripes together, I thought whatever price pottery barn asked for their bumper pad and other baby bedding was sounded pretty good....but I had to press on and finish!

I am almost done, I just have to sew the ends and add the button straps to hold it in place. I think it turned out pretty cute! Eli loves all the colors!

6 months!

Eli is six months now, and I can't believe we are half way to a year old! This past month, Eli has learned a lot and has had many new firsts!

Eli has learned how to sit, pretty much by himself, he still falls over some.

Big boy sitting by himself!

Hey mom!

Eli can has also learned how to scoot around. Its not quite a full fledge crawl yet, more of an army crawl. He uses his hands and arms along with his feet and knees. He loves to chase his fish on wheels, and truck around :)

On Eli's six month birthday, we celebrated with his first bowl of baby food! He has eaten rice, applesauce, and oatmeal/ banana. He loves it all!! He is thinking he is a pretty big boy, and always wants some of what we are eating or drinking!

ohhh, a spoon!

I love to chew on everything!

Yum, yum!

He was trying to get to Myles's drink. The boy loves cups!

This is how I found Eli on the morning of his six month bday!
When I put him to sleep, the bird is sitting up in the corner far away
from where I lay him down. I guess he wanted a friend to snuggle with, lol!
So cute :)

"Why are you taking a picture, mom?"

Some of my favorite pictures from this past month!

I told you I love to chew on everything!

Silly face!

Excuse my feet, we were playing superman!!

I love his cheeks!

Handsome boy!

Eli always greets me with a smile when he wakes up :)

 Eli is such a happy boy! He is pretty much all smiles. He loves to play with people and is so cute to play with. It is fun to see him start to really learn who people are, and greet them with a big ol' smile! I also love to watch Myles play with Eli. They have so much fun together! They play the "I'm gonna get ya" game, and Eli will start to laugh in anticipation before Myles has even touched him. It is so funny :)
We love you sweet boy!!
