Snow Pics and 6 month Stats

So far this year we've already had snow 3 or 4 times, which is highly unusual for Tennessee. Luckily, I decided to get Owen some winter boots at Walmart. So glad I did! Last year the poor kid had to put plastic bags over his shoes! Anyway, it's been a good investment because last weekend's snowfall of several inches kept us home for 3 straight days and Owen had a blast playing out in it.

In other news, I took Luke this week for his 6 month check-up. He weighed 20 pounds, 14 1/2 ounces and was 28 1/2 inches long. He's a very tall and chunky boy! And, boy, do my arms and back know it! I'll be glad when this boy can walk! Here are a few tidbits about Luke at this stage.

--Eating Stage 2 foods and very interested in watching others eat table food
--Drinking a bottle every 4-5 hours (even at night, sigh)
--Able to roll both ways, will push up on his arms and scoot backwards
--Loves to watch Owen and the kitty, will strain to see what they are doing and jabber at them
--Getting better at sitting up on his own
--Will grab pretty much anything in reach and try to cram it in his mouth, still no teeth yet but lots of drool:)
--Getting very Mama-attached as of late. Will whimper for me like a little puppy if someone else is holding him and can see me.
--Still a very bad sleeper...but I won't go into that.
