6 MONTHS

 

It's hard to believe it's been 1/2 a year since our little guy entered the world!  A lot has happend since his 5 month update.  He weighed in at 20lbs 6ozs (89%) and measured 28.5 inches long (96%) at his 6 month checkup. He can sit up for extended periods of time on his own.  He is still only rolling over from back to stomach.

 

He got his first two teeth the weekend of October 6th.  Not sure the actual day.  I had sister's weekend in Des Moines and Mark took Elliott back to Odebolt to help his parent's finish harvest. When I returned to Odebolt on Sunday night I noticed the teeth and the conversation went something like this...   

Angie - "Oh my gosh, he has teeth."

Mark - "What? When did that happen."

Angie - "I'm not sure. You tell me.  You are the one that spent the last 3 days with him."

He got a third tooth 3 days later!

Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens

Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens

 

Mark and I have lived in Kansas City for over 4 years now and really haven't taken advantage of the wonderful things a big city has to offer.  We've been to a handful of Royals games, only 1 Chiefs game and a few concerts.  But lets be honest, the sports teams in this town usually have a bigger number in the loss column than the win column which makes it a little hard to be enthusiastic about following them. 

 

Our daycare lady told us several times that we should visit the arboretum and we finally got around to going this weekend.  Wow!! Even after the dry summer the garden was absolutely gorgeous!
