Week 43

October 18: He sits!

October 19: and insists on hanging out at meal times

October 20: and sometimes even noms on some mum mums or table scraps.  Purees get gags and refusals.

October 21: Callum is so crazily rough with Lachlan and Lachlan loves every second of it.

October 22: This face.  I just can't even.

October 23: We have discovered a giant old tree at Hartley that is just perfect for climbing on.  We checked out their playscape too but the boys prefer the big tree.

October 24: A beautiful day requires some park time after school

Week 42

Oct 12: Someone turned 6 months old, doubled his birth weight, and learned to sit.  Food time!

Oct 13: Doesn't it look like he enjoys target?

Oct 14: He wasn't sleeping well at night, but by 7:30 am, would pass out on the floor.

Oct 15: Crocheted boot cuffs!

Oct 15 again: green smoothies for lunch!

Oct 16: A nice day warrants some deck bouncing

Oct 17: Everett had two days off school, so Brian took some vacation and we did lots of hiking, biking, and walking

Lachlan's 6 Month Check Up

One of the most stressful appointments ever because he wasn't feeling so great, but what are you going to do?  Mr. L started a fever Friday night that didn't seem to fully go away until Monday, leaving me wondering what was wrong with him until a rash appeared that evening at bedtime.  Well hello there, roseola.
Poor little guy also had to get THREE shots this time since he just hits the threshold for flu shots and I hate the flu so everrrrrryone gets a shot in this house.  Well, except the boys.  They get the nasal mist thing.
Timing works out pretty well though, because now we go back in a month for his second flu shot and he'll start his Hep B then too.
He is still a complete string bean, weighing in at 15 lbs, 15 oz, (about 20th %ile) and 27.56" (85th %ile).   At 6 months, Callum was 19 lbs and Everett was 18 lb 8 oz, so Lachie seems super super tiny to me.  Ev was also 28" long and I apparently didn't record how long Callum was...

and for funsies, here's mama and daddy at 6 months too:

Week 41

Oct 4: Brian chilling with his small creatures

Oct 5: We bought a membership to the aquarium.  It was a good decision.

Oct 6: Someone had trouble napping and going to bed this week.

Oct 7: We are starting to taste big people food!

Oct 8: I made these for two little girlies we know and the boys modeled them for me.

Oct 8: National Walk to School Day.  My lower body killed me for the next three days.  His school is at the bottom of the hill.  We live about halfway up.  Around 300 feet of elevation change.  With a stroller.

Oct 8: Callum started a preschool class at the aquarium once/week.  He LOVES it!

Oct 9: New profile picture!  He is so darn smoochable.

Oct 10: Checking out pretty fish at the aquarium (told you it was a good idea.  We were there three times last week.)
