5 & 6 months

It's been almost 3 mos since I updated the blog...slacker central over here! We've been busy around the Hise house so I'll try to recap what I can!

5 & 6 month pics & stats:

Definitely a smiley boy!

Laughing at Daddy

 

 

At 6 mos, our big boy weighed 19 lbs, 6 oz and was 27 1/2 in long! Wowzers! He's growing like crazy...sadly we don't go back to the doctor until 9 mos, so I won't know stats for 2 more mos. On the bright side, he won't get any more shots until 12 mos!

*sits with little to no support
*likes carrots and sweet potatoes, hates squash and is not too sure about bananas or sweet peas
*has rolled over from front to back and back to front-now he's working on crawling
*loves to laugh and rough house with his daddy
*takes baths in the sink and likes to suck on the washcloth (gross!)

Those thighs just keep growing!

 I have decided to take on the task of making C's food for a couple of reasons; 1. it's cheaper and 2. I know exactly what's going in his little body. I bought a book "Blender Baby Food" and have The Magic Bullet so it's really not that hard. I mix the veggies with water, bring it to a boil, let it simmer for 15-20 min and then let it cool. After that, I run it through the bullet and pour it into ice cube trays to freeze. After they're frozen I put them in a freezer zip-lock bag and name/date it. When it's time to eat, I put 1 cube in the fridge to thaw out and then feed it to him! I have to say, I love the faces he makes when he tries something new, lol!

We also celebrated our first Easter as a family. Not only as a family, but it's the first Easter J and I have had together as well! Our friend Joey's family had a cookout for all of our Army friends and a small Easter egg hunt for the babies!
