Look what I can do!

Kaeleb is working hard on trying to crawl. I swear he will take off anyday now. He gets going, but he has his motor stuck in reverse. Heres a cute video of him trying:

Heres a few bonus pictures to show of his big blue eyes and fat chubby cheeks!

We're sitting!

Kaeleb has started sitting up on his own now. Hes been able to sit for a minute or so for a while but he just recently started sitting for longer periods of time. Here are some pictures of his new acheivement!



Here he is after he fell over. He was not happy!

Heres a picture of his new friend! He loves to look at the baby on the diaper box:

Hes one last picture of him fast asleep. He still loves to suck his fingers:

One cute moment

Most everyone knows that Lexi and Travis are only 20 months apart in age. Sometimes it can be quite challenging but I really wouldnt change it for the world. 70% of the time, they are fighting. I am always hearing "Mom, Travis hit me" or "Mom Lexi broke my bed". But in the middle of all the bickering there is a piece of quiet and you get the moments where you are so glad they are close in age because they are truly best friends. The other night I put the kids to bed. Around 11pm I heard a bang like something fell. I peeked in their room to see if they were messing around and this is what I saw:

As much as they fight, they literally couldnt live without each other. Its moments like this that I know all the hard work is well worth it.

Kaeleb's 6 month checkup

Kaeleb had his 6 month check up today. He weighs 19 lbs 7.5 oz. That puts him in the 75th percentile for his weight. He is 26 1/2 inches which is also 75th percentile. His head is 18 inches around which is the 95th percentile. so he has a large head...lol. My poor baby got 3 shots today so hes not feeling the greatest. He goes back in 3 months but luckily no shots then.

My version of Baby Legs

If you dont know what Baby Legs are they are the coolest things ever...lol. They are like leg warmes for babies and little kids but can also be used as arm warmers for babies, kids and adults! They have really cool patterns. Here is a picture of them:

They retail for $12 a pair which really isnt that expensive but it adds up quickly. I got Kaeleb 4 pairs at Target last week on clearance for $6 each but even that adds up quickly. Then one of the moms in my moms group said she could show us how to make them using knee highs. I made 3 pairs today for $12 and it only took me 5 minutes. I made a pair for Lexi that she loves so guess what shes getting in her stocking from Santa!
Heres the picture of what mine look like:

And of course Kaeleb just had to help. In order to make them you have to cut the feet off. I plan on using the feet as low rise socks for myself and Kaeleb loved chewing on them:

Election Day 2008

No matter the outcome of this election, today is going to be a historical day. Either an african american man will become our president or a female will be our vice president. Im sure this day will end up in history books and our kids will be studying it in 10th grade history classes.
For the first time I got out and voted. Yes I know I am 26 and could have voted 2 other times already but I didnt feel the need to vote before like I did this year. I wont get into who I voted because I dont like to let politics get into friendships but I am very confident with the choice I made. I did my research and after heavily weighing my options I am pleased with my choice.
If you havent got out there and voted yet, stop reading my blog now and go vote. Thats the best thing about our country is that WE get to choose who represents our country, so let your opinion be heard and go vote!
