6 Months

Our little guy is 6 months old! He is sitting up on his own, talking all the time and desperately trying to get some teeth. He is having a tough time with his teeth and has been pretty miserable the past few days. I am hopeful some will make an appearance soon because he is very interested in ANYTHING we eat.

I don't have weight/height measurements yet...our 6 month check up is not until the end of next week. Here in Tennessee, we have to see a pediatrician (versus us all seeing a family doctor in TX) and it is hard to get in for a well baby visit. So I will post those updates after our appointment.

Knoxville Zoo

We took a trip to the zoo for Taryne's birthday. Since we did a party before we left and we weren't planning anything big, we decided the zoo would be a great family birthday outing. And to add to the fun, we joined the zoo so we can go as many times as we want for the next year!

I guess the raccoons in Tennessee can read!

I can't wait to go back. Taryne was a little disappointed because the tiger was not out. Random, but oh well. They also have an awesome splash pad, so I know where we will be cooling off next summer.

Tattoos

Taryne decided she needed some tattoos. So she took it upon herself to create a number of tattoos all over.

Oh, that pink thing...that is a crab.

Luckily they were washable markers.

Silly Little Guy

Yeah, he likes to sleep on his side and stomach.....

...thank goodness we have our Angel Care monitor and the mesh bumpers.

Football Friday

It's Friday and tomorrow is game day! It is also A&M's first game of the season, first SEC game and first home game.

In honor of all of this, Taryne and Hayden sported their A&M colors today for school.

Taryne insisted Hayden needed to hold Snow White...

A&M plays Florida tomorrow and Tennessee also has its first home game against Georgia State. So BTHO Florida AND BTHO Georgia State!!

Until next time...Gig'em!

Pretty Pretty Princess

I regret to inform you that we are starting the "princess" phase with Taryne. This should be fun...

We already needed to get a tiara for her and she is now letting us know that she needs the blue princess dress and the slippers that match. Sigh.

She has several Disney princess dolls, but Ariel is her absolute favorite. She has a baby Ariel, a figurine Ariel, a plush Ariel and she just got the toddler Ariel for her birthday. 

Thankfully she doesn't refer to herself as a princess....

She is also into wearing dresses...all the time. She sleeps in them. She wants to wear them all the time. And that is perfectly fine and great since she has a ton of dresses. The only problem is her new daycare will only allow dresses if shorts are worn underneath. Well, her shorts are too bulky to do that and I know they make these bloomer/short type things specifically made for this purpose because I saw them in a store in College Station last year. When it cools off and she can wear tights, she will be wearing more dresses to school. They also have a rule that socks and closed toe and heel shoes must be worn in order to play outside. Well, I am not sending her to school in athletic shoes and a dress. At least her fall/winter shoes are closed toe and heel, so she will have more variety once fall arrives.

Last weekend, she was all dressed up with her dress and tiara and we decided to take Phoebe to the dog park in our apartment. I think she had more fun than Phoebe!

Until next time...Gig'em!

College Colors Day

Last Friday was "College Colors Day" and I had to dress my sweet little ones in both school's colors. Hayden doesn't have a Tennessee shirt yet so he wore A&M and Taryne wore her Tennessee shirt since the only A&M thing that fits is a jersey.

Unfortunately, A&M didn't get to play its first game due to the hurricane, but Tennessee won and college football started, so life was good!

Until next time...Gig'em!
