Cousins together at last!

We FINALLY got to meet our little cousin Liam for the first time, and we were able to SMOTHER him with all our love (quite literally…)! He is so tiny and sweet. We love him SO much already! Welcome to the family Liam!

6 Months Old!

Can you believe I am already 6 months old today?!?!? I am getting SO big these days! Here are some things I’m into these days:

* I’m rolling over, and trying to gain some strength to sit up (thanks to my physical therapist)

* I love babbling, cooing & exploring my voice

* I love playing in my Johnny Jumper & grabbing my toys on my playmat

* I love putting EVERYTHING in my mouth

* I’m a GREAT sleeper! I take 3 naps a day, and sleep 9-10 hours at night

* I LOVE smiling and laughing ALL the time- I am one VERY happy little boy!

* I think my sisters are the best thing in the world

* I LOVE my helmet, and can’t even sleep without it! (Too bad I might not have it much longer…)

* Now that I am 6 months old, I get to start eating REAL food (If you count rice cereal as “real” food)!

My big sister Abby fed me my very first meal this morning with my cool construction spoon, and I LOVED it! Mommy says I’m going to be her best eater!

For my half birthday present, mommy blinged out my helmet with all new “Under Construction” stickers!

I think they look awesome, and I LOVE checking myself out in the mirror!

With all of the pink cupcakes that have been around our house this week because of Abby’s birthday, mommy thought I might like a very “boyish” 1/2 birthday cake. I like this tradition, and I can’t wait until next year when I actually get to EAT my cake!

Since I couldn’t eat my cake yet, mommy let me suck on some dinosaurs instead!

Happy 1/2 birthday to me!!!

The best birthday party ever!

I had my five-year-old kid birthday party today, and I think it was the BEST birthday party EVER! We went to a cute little girl salon with 7 of my friends, and we were so pampered! We got to dress up in princess dresses, and then we went to “Glam Central” where we had our hair done in updo’s and “glitterized” with a special crown, make-up put on and our nails painted whatever color we wanted! Then we did some fun singing and dancing, followed by a fun runway walk! After that, all my friends sang to me, and we had our very special Barbie cupcakes that mommy made for each of us! Thanks for an awesome party mom & dad! I had SO much fun

Emily has always been too scared to get her nails painted, but somehow she found the courage, and was VERY excited to get them done today!

Emily couldn’t sit long enough for an updo, but she sure wanted her crown!

Let the dancing begin!

What a beautiful group of princess friends I have!

Mommy made each of us our very own Barbie cupcake! Everyone loved them (even though we didn’t want to eat them…)

We each got to take home a princess certificate, a crown, a bottle of lotion we each made in the shop, and a group picture from the party!

Ben was so good, but all that partying gets tiring for a little boy…

Thanks for coming to my party everyone! I had an AWESOME time! Check out the video to see how much fun we had!
