Dead of Winter

I am playing catch up big time with our blog. Christmas and New Years flew by and before I knew it, I was a good 4 months behind on my posts! I hate getting behind. It seriously is the most overwhelming feeling ever! In anything, posting on my blog, editing pictures, laundry, cleaning, everything! So here I am catching up quick and summing up our dead of winter into one big post!

Fist off, William had his 6 month check up! He is still huge, if you can't tell by just looking at him.

6 Months old! 

His weight was 21.03lbs 93.98%tile 

His heighth was 28.5 inches 97.45%tile

His head is 17.51in 77.52% 

So the only normal sized thing he has is his head! :) 

I love carrying around my big lug though! He seriously is getting to be so much fun!

We are a week away from his 9 month check up now and he is learning lots of new things!

He can wave, give you high five, and he gives the BEST kisses! He is so close to clapping but thats still probably a few weeks away. When he gets really excited he gets close but thats rare. We have to "Patty Cake" on speed because he hates it when I hold his arms to show him how to clap. Its pretty hilarious! He thinks its funny when I sing it on high speed too!


I am adjusting to being a mom and staying home most of my days. It is a hard adjustment. I never gave my mom the credit she deserved for doing everything she did for so many kids! She seriously is so amazing for all she did for us!

My new year's resolution was to use my "real" camera more when it comes to my personal family pictures. I use it regularly for photography obviously but when it comes to taking pictures of my family I am HORRIBLE and picking it up and taking a couple quick shots that have a decent resolution and that I can print and use in my home. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that my Iphone allows me to taking a picture whenever we are somewhere with out my camera but I know I am going to want those good quality images of my family! So to make myself use my camera more, I decieded I would take a picture of William every day for a year with my good camera! I have missed a few days and if I do, I don't let it discourage me, I just take one the next day and keep going! I am loving the moments I am capturing of him! You can look at the pictures here! 

Well that is all for now! We have a fun summer planned and I am going to do better about posting regularly so I don't get behind and overwhelmed!
