6 Month Milestone

We FINALLY made it to 6 months! It has actually gone by really fast, I'm just grateful that we are here instead of where we were a few months ago :)
Here are a few things he's accomplished and/or loves to do these days:

He sleeps through the night!!!!!!!
He takes longer naps
He can sit up on his own, with a few tumbles here and there
He can roll over front to back
He talks a lot more (not so much when we're around other people because he loves to listen to the conversation)
He gives the BEST cuddles
He gives the biggest smiles, especially when he's home and me and Dan are both with him. It is his absolute favorite thing to hang out with the two of us. I need to cherish it while I can.
He gets SO excited when Dan walks through the door. His face lights up, his arms start wailing, and he does this fast-breathing, grunting noise. It's the cutest thing, but once Dan holds him he acts like it's no big deal and looks around for something to do. I will never get sick of seeing that!
He got his first hair cut! We buzzed his head, hoping it would grow back a little more evenly, but it didn't :)
He loves walks and being outside
His favorite thing about going on a walk is watching all the cars drive by
He is very observant. Ever since he was a month or two old, we have noticed how he's always observing things he looks at, and loves to listen to our conversations. A few weeks ago I was feeding him in his high chair and he kept looking over in the kitchen. We couldn't figure out what he was looking at until I realized that the cupboard was open and he noticed it! When he's kind of fussy and wants me to pick him up, I pretend like I'm talking on the phone and he immediately stops and stares at me. It's pretty awesome.
He still loves his baths
He is eating solids and loves them.. as long as it isn't rice cereal, oatmeal, or green beans. He absolutely hates those!
His favorite game is peek-a-boo. When I first started playing with him, he would get scared every single time I yelled "boo!" and he loved it.
He loves getting thrown in the air
He loves swinging on the swing set

Here he is on a walk, watching the cars

He's in his happy place

First time eating any kind of fruit or veggie! This is a before shot:

After Shots:


He had a little fun with it

Buzz cut!

Mommy got her braces off!

 Shopping for hats. Love the belly hangin out.

 He loves playing outside

Dan is trying to hook him on motorcycles early

Looking a little girly?
We still don't have a swimsuit for him, so we have to come up with creative outfits for 7 peaks. I think he looks dang cute in this picture, but everyone else thinks he looks like a girl!

 When we took him into the kiddie pool the first time, he wasn't too sure about it, but a week or so later we went into the shallow part of the wave pool with aunt Tracy and he was loving it!


 I am in love with this picture! ^^

 Playin around!

Father's Day!
For Father's Day, I bought a tie for Dan, and made a matching tie for Logan. Aren't they the most handsome boys you've ever seen??

We took a quick trip up to Trebble Lake in American Fork Canyon one Saturday. It was beautiful!




My sister Kassy had little Anna last month. She is such a sweet baby!
This is Sarah with her baby sister


Logan and I at the hospital visiting his new cousin, Carston Bradley Garvin!

Dan's brother and his wife, Byron and Tracy, had a beautiful baby boy this week!


"Thanks for looking at my pictures, everyone!"
