Glorious Grandparent Gala

Well this kid is certainly lucky to have the most wonderful grandparents on the planet. We have been lucky to spend some real quality time with them all in these last weeks. And I know what you are thinking - Hmmmm, maybe all of John's cuteness isn't just from Adam and Vicki! ;)

Little Nugget of Joy

Here we are with a full fledged 6 month old on our hands! At John's 6 month check-up he weighed in at 13lbs 100z. Of course that was two weeks ago. He's now getting a regular course of solid foods, including sweet potatoes, bananas, and-we tried some advacado but the explosive diaper situation that followed has mom reluctant to try that again for a few weeks!

So with all that yummy hitting his tummy, he now weighs 14lbs and 5oz!

As the photos will show we have been very

busy at Nan West's house in the pool and visiting with our friends the Aldays. John has also been enjoying his bouncy chair and brand new high chair from Mr and Mrs Rawls. Many Thanks!

And, of course, there is the obligatory teddy bear shot.

It's enough to wear the boys out as you'll see in the last photo.

My apologies for the layout - one day I'll figure this thing out!

An Eventful 6th Month!

Well, as we approach John's 6 month milestone, we have much to report. The first piece of news is that we are enjoying a wonderful visit from John's Grandma and Grandpa Partridge. Both have proven to be a huge help around the house for Adam and me. Flexford has never had so many walks!

We also celebrated John's Christening dedication with some friends and family in a ceremony by our good friend Byron Alday. All the grandparents were very proud! Uncle Pete was also on hand filling the role of The Godfather.

Here are a couple of shots of our 5 month old!

That sure did happen fast!

Below are also some pics back from Easter - he's grown so much since then!

Sorry So Long...

Well there goes Mom, slacking again! As you can see from the new pics, the little man has been keeping me plenty busy with all his growing! Some of his new skills include sitting in his Bebe Pod seat, grasping objects with his hands, and sleeping in his crib! He is also doing a great job on his tummy. In fact this morning he was working on a belly spin where he kicks his legs and spins him self around like a break dancer. And of course he is becoming better acquainted with Flex. Yes it has been a momentous few weeks!

A Post from Nan's House

Well as Easter approaches, little John's anticipation of bunnies and chocolate is certainly building. His Nan West caught him eyeballing this dish of M&M's earlier today.

We also spent some time with Uncle Don who brought John some very cool gifts - A VERY large Bear and a beautifully refurbished Radio Flyer Red Wagon. Thanks a ton, Uncle Don!

Other than that we are enjoying some home cookin' , little John's first dinner out, and all the beautiful flowers that are in full bloom here at Nan's.

Hope everyone has a great Easter!

Weeks 16 and 17

Hmmmm.....

Little John is wondering how long is has been since mommy put his picture on the blog. He's pretty sure it's been too long!

The little man is quickly becoming a fantastic napper, giving mom some much appreciated rest and/or productive time. He is also sleeping for stretches as long as 6-7 hours at night - another perk that mommy and daddy are LOVING!

Little John is also making some awesome progress in "tummy time" where he holds his head up like quite the big boy!

Thanks for the comments - we love hearing from you and its good to know someone is actually reading this thing! It really makes John excited as you can see in the last photo!
We'll be at Nan West's house next week for Spring Break and Easter, so see you when we get back!
