6 Months Old

Today Caleb is 6 months old! Time has sure gone fast! We went to Des Moines last Friday and took his 6 month photos in time for the holiday season. Caleb is so different than Isaac when it comes to pictures, he doesn't cry and he smiles from ear to ear. Isaac is still professional camera shy as I had to drag him into the room in order to have his picture taken with Caleb! Caleb is a flirt, such a ladies man! The photographer told him he was a cutie and he just smiled bigger! We had a hard time choosing the pictures we wanted because they were just so good! Here a just a few of the best:

We didn't take a lot of individuals of Isaac but here is one of his best photos. Isaac doesn't cry anymore but pictures are difficult because he refuses to stand still! A lot of the pictures ended up being of Isaac jumping in the air.

Here are my two boys in front of the Christmas scene. They are so cute!

6 months means Caleb is now closer to being 1 year old than he is to being a newborn. I was just looking through pictures for scrapbooking this morning and remembering the day of his birth. I remember it so vividly yet it seems like such a long time ago. Caleb has had double ear infection the past 10 days. We started with just one ear infected, got antibiotics and a week later we went in for a recheck and he had it in the other ear. How do you get ear infection when you've been on antibiotics??? Anyway, at that appointment he weighed 18 pounds. I'm interested to see what his stats are at his 6 month appointment. Caleb is now rolling to his stomach but hasn't quite figured out how to get back over. That usually makes him angry! He hasn't cut any teeth yet but he is chewing on everything so it probably won't be long.

We are headed north this Thanksgiving. Zach's parents bought a hotel stay in Rochester for Friday and Saturday night so we are excited to take Isaac swimming and do a little Christmas shopping. Zach's sister will be home from Portland so we are going to do our Christmas exchange early. Then Zach and I took Monday off so we will be putting up Christmas decorations and recuperating from traveling! We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
