6 Months!

Crew, a.k.a. Biggie Smalls, is a half year old! We cannot believe it! Seems like just yesterday we were bringing him home. It's unreal how much we love our little boy. We had his 6 month appointment last week. He's 25 and a half inches long and weighs 19 pounds, 5 ounces... hence the new nickname, Biggie Smalls. :)

Milestones:  Little Sherm is sitting up by himself! He started about a week and a half ago. He also reaches for and grasps his toys.  He rolls both ways, but still doesn't want to roll from back to tummy. This month he made his first two art projects at daycare. They're footprint ghosts and frankensteins. Adorable! He likes to say "da da da da daaa" and "la la la la laaa" really, really loudly. He just loves to screech and hear himself babble. Oh, and I can't forget about his first two bottom teeth! Those things are the cutest!


Likes: He is super fascinated by Poopsie and loves watching her. He also loves reading (and eating) books at the end of the day.  I brought out a puppy this month his great aunt Gladys got for him at my shower, and he absolutely adores it! It's programmed with his favorite songs and it uses Crew's name to talk to him. Some of his other likes: Quinn Ruby (my friend Leah's baby girl), slamming his legs down in his crib in the middle of the night, playing with his bath toys, pulling mommy's hair, and looking at Papa Terry's mustache.

Dislikes: Colds... he got another one this month. :( He's starting to learn a little stranger danger and will cry if someone new gets t0o close and he's not expecting it. He hates getting dressed after his bath. He's also starting to notice when I leave the room and will cry sometimes. 

Crew, 
Thank you for being our everything. Your smile, little giggle, and  hugs make us happier than ever.  We can't wait to see what the next six months of your first year have in store.  We love you so much, and am so happy to call you ours. 
We'll love you forever, we'll like you for always, as long as we're living our baby you'll be. 
XOXOXO, 
Mommy and Daddy

Our Fall Fella














BUCK or DOE?

Yesterday was an exciting day! It was Mason and Lisa's gender reveal party for little baby Burger. I had a lot of fun helping Lisa with planning and putting together little things for the party. It was a deer theme (perfect for them!) and people had to make guesses as to whether they thought Baby was a little buck or little doe. Most people guessed buck. I changed my guess at the last minute to girl. You'll see what they're having below.  :)


My mom analyzing the ultrasound pictures before she makes her guess.

Of course Mason had to show a hunting video of Lisa shooting her big buck! :)


The happy family getting ready to reveal their news!

The voting area! People wore stickers to show their guess.


The old wives tale predictions!




The cute couple!

And cousin Crew has arrived! Papa Terry was first to grab him.

Jeremy made his guess: Buck!

Grammie Laurie and her little buddy!


Crew guessed Buck!

When Payton saw Crew was there she yelled, "I have to go get that book Crew likes!" Then they sat down to read it. She is going to be one amazing big sister to Baby Burger!








Crew thought this little lady was very pretty and kept staring at her! I thought she looked a little bit like my neice, Maya!

 AND IT'S TIME FOR THE REVEAL!!! Payton is ready to open her present!





 It's a.....

GIRL!!!! YAY!!!
 Payton will have a little sister!
 One bear for Payton and the other one to give to little Sissy.
 High fives!

  More picture time!






My favorite picture!
