This little muffin is 5 months old today. He has to be one of the best children I've ever given birth too (don't tell the others). At 5 months he talks or coo's non-stop. He loves green beans, sweet potatoes, bananas and apples. He loves to smile and to be "strolled" around the house by one of his siblings.
He's come a long way from when he was just a few days old here in the NICU. Just a little 4 pounder! Happy 5 month Birthday #6!
It doesn't seem possible.. but my baby turned 4 months old yesterday. I've been trying and trying to get a photo of him smiling. I don't remember it being this hard to get a photo of any of the other kids smiles.
Here he is reflecting about his new favorite food.. green beans. By the way that weird sponge-y purple thing he's in.. it's called a "bumbo" seat. The best $40.00 you can spend on a kid.
Why is this lady taking my picture AGAIN?
I realized I could not rely on my own to get him to smile.. so I brought in his big brother #2. He always smiles at him…
It worked! Happy Fourth Month Birthday #6!
Three months and a day ago… I gave birth to this little muffin…
He's about a week old in this picture. He came into the world 6 weeks early. He was breathing on his own, but had a feeding tube.
The day he came home from the hospital.. February 22nd.
#6's first bath at home…
2 months! Laying on his dad.
I have several nicknames for him… but the most common one? Butter Bean.
Here he is with his big brother #2. Just in case you were wondering.. my 15 year old son really does take care of his brother without prompting.
Sometimes #6 takes care of his big brother.
Happy 3 month Birthday Butter Bean!
Today is my sweet baby #5's birthday.. He requested ham and cheese hobbits (aka to most people.. an omelet), biscuits and gravy (on another plate) and a chocolate doughnut.
#5 is a funny kid… This morning I was making his breakfast and he walked in and said; "Oh yea, you're making my breakfast! Keep it up!"
On this day.. with the muddy feet.. I didn't think he was so funny. One thing about this kid.. he likes to GET dirty.. but he hates to BE dirty. Which makes for a BIG laundry day when he goes outside to play.
Happy Birthday You Filthy Animal!
