Little Bear

 Our little Bentley Bear is 6 months old! He is almost sitting up on his own and is absolutely LOVING his rice cereal and veggies. He sticks his little tongue out and tries to suck on the spoon like a bottle. He hasn't quite figured out how to open up yet.
He should be having a tooth pop through his gums pretty soon.
He can roll around like crazy and is starting to pull himself around with his arms.
He is extremely ticklish and is easy to get smiling and laughing. My favorite thing is the huge grin on his face when I come home from work and hearing his sweet giggle when you are tickling him.
Bentley loves to be held and loves watching his sister dance.
He is pretty small, but I wanted a small baby who would not grow up too fast and he is doing a little better than I expected at that. Hopefully he will start growing when he is a bit older.

Height: 26 inches - 31%
Weight: 15.8 lbs - 17%
 Head: 16.5 inches - 8%

I think I forgot to put his 4 month stats on here and want to have them for the future:

Height: 25 inches - 49%
Weight: 14.0 lbs - 28%
 Head: 15.7 inches - 5%

Maybe the rice cereal and veggies will beef this kid up a little. I am really impressed with how much of it he can down!

 

 

 

Jayda's first haircut

 The week after Christmas we took Jayda to Cookie Cutters for her first haircut. We prepped her all week so that she would be excited and not scared, which worked until we walked in and told her she could pick out a chair to sit in. She got nervous and didn't want to sit in any of them. With the help of a sucker and me standing right next to her she did fantastic. After a few minutes she relaxed and was on her best behavior for the girl cutting her hair. We were very proud.
I expected this to be a bit emotional because I had read how other moms started crying and were all heartbroken when they cut off the hair their little babies were born with, but the only emotion I felt was pride in my sweet little girl for doing so well. She is growing up!

Once I have an idea I stick to it....

Because it's the month of LOVE and I am a woman who is allowed to constantly be changing her mind.... I have decided to go Un-private. That's the reverse of privatizing this blog he he. I may change my mind again, you never know, but for the next little while we will see how this goes. I haven't been great at writing anyway lately so hopefully I can spice things up a bit as well.
