SIX MONTHS

I cannot believe my baby is six months old! He is quite a little character! We have not taken him in for his six month check up yet but at his five month sick appointment he weighed in at 17.9 lbs and was 26 in. long. So all in all I think he is healthy!

He is rolling and sitting and almost up on his knees. He scoots around on the floor trying to chase his siblings or toys and as a result has some pretty ugly carpet burns on his arms. But he doesn't seem to mind! He laughs so much at his brother and sister and they know just what will get him going. He loves to be thrown around (quite literally) by his daddy and just laughs and laughs and laughs. His smile just gets me every time and when he knows I am leaving the room or moving on to do chores or work, he just puckers his lower lip and it is all I can do to keep from buckling! What a charmer! He is such a joy to have around and we are so blessed to have him in our lives! We love you Deklan!

This is Deklan at 4 months! I don't have my camera yet to take official 6 month pics yet!

toilets

So I have this amazing talent of dropping, misplacing or breaking important things. The latest? My brand new camera. We were at the mall and kaleah had to use the restroom, so I took her and I had the diaper bag over my shoulder. She finished and asked me to help her pull up her tights and skirt, so I did and the contents of the front pocket of the diaper bag all fell out; keys, phone, diaper ointment, teething tablets and yes my NEW camera. It all fell on the floor with the exception of said camera..... right into the toilet! So needless to say I have been camraless for two weeks. last week we drove the two hours to a best buy and because I had purchased the warrenty I thought we would be fine. but unfortunetly we get there and the girl at the counter tells us it only covers spills, not full emersions into water. but she felt bad and wrote on the claim it had had "a large amount of water spilled" onto it and so they accepted the claim and we get a new camera. So thank you to the best buy girl. Now I just have to find the time to drive two more hours to go get the new one! Oh how I want to be back in the city!
