Funny Davis

Someone please explain to me how he managed this one??


Thousands of dollars worth of baby gear and he is obsessed with a $2 laundry basket

6 Month Stats!!!

Davis weighs: 16 lbs, 1 oz

Davis' height: 28.75 inches

He is in the 25th percentile for weight and the 95th percentile for height.

Maybe he will be the next LeBron James, LOL

Some Pictures of Mr. Man!!

Somedays I think I might, just might want another one because he is so stinking cute, but when he goes to bed for the night and I'm exhausted I re-think that idea. I cannot imagine taking care of Mr. Man while pregnant, I cannot imagine taking care of a newborn and Mr. Man at the same time. My luck I'd have twins, maybe we will just get another dog.

Speaking of dogs, Maizy escaped out the front door and across the front yard tonight. I had to chase after her in my socks, thank god my mom was over and she had the baby. I guess Maizy didn't like the Toledo Edison dude in our front yard. Funny thing about this is he looked scared to death of her. Grant it she is a big dog, but she is a labradoodle for gods sake. You can't get any whimpier than a doodle.

Babylegs

I bought Davis some Babylegs, here he is modeling one of each pattern I bought him, sooooooo cute!!! These things are awesome, I'll be buying more. I bought the blue ones for his 6 month pictures and the Christmas ones are for his Christmas card picture.

Crawling Here We Come

The pictures speak for themselves, oh and I threw in a cute one of Davis and Maizy kissing. He isn't quite mobile yet, but he is trying like hell. Sorry they are blurry, but he was rocking back and forth.

Can I Turn Back the Clock??

I would like newborn Davis back so I can keep my concrete tables in the family room a little longer. He started getting up on all fours every now and then a few weeks ago. Tonight he took it to the next level, he was up on all fours a million times and would rock back and forth when he got up.

Since Davis has this new trick we both decided it is time to look for a new coffee table and end tables that are friendlier than the current glass and concrete ones we have. I really love these tables we have, they are so cool and it will be so sad to not have them anymore.

Solid Food Breakthrough

Davis has been finicky about what he will eat since we started solids 2 months ago, somedays he'd be into it, then he'd hate food for a week, then he'd only eat cereal, then he refused all solid food for 2 weeks straight. The last 3 days though he has been loving all food, even fruit!! I couldn't get him to eat fruit to save my life before. Now he will eat it all, veggies, fruits, and cereal. Yay!!!!

Happy 6 Months Davis!!!!!

Wow!!! In 6 more months you will be 1 year old, where has the time gone? For real, where has it gone???? I swear you were still in my belly yesterday.

Davis Partying in His Bouncy

After finally downloading a whopping 8 hours of video we took on this little guy since he was born in March, I also figured out how to put video on my blog. Here is Davis last weekend partying in his bouncy.

Davis Has 6 Teeth

Strange, right?? Not even 6 months old yet and almost a full set of chompers!! Of course some people have me freaked out that he is going to have bad teeth, but what can I do, it isn't like I asked for them. The story is that the earlier a child gets teeth, the more those teeth are prone to cavaties because they have a longer exposure to food, formula, breastmilk, or whatever. I guess Davis has to do everything early, he had to make his grand entrance into this world early and he had to get teeth early. What is next??

7 of 30

Davis had to go for the 2nd half of his 4 month shots today. I split them up because I don't think he should have 4 shots in one visit, so we did 2 at 4 months and the other 2 at 5 months. So he pretty much gets shots every month on the alternate schedule, if we chose to do the AAP recommended schedule he'd get them every 2 months. He was a little trooper, he cried for about 2 minutes and then he was done. He fell asleep on the way home. After he woke up from his nap we played for a long time, took a long walk with Daddy, came home, had some green beans and pears for dinner, he took a bath, had a bottle and went to bed around 8 p.m. Pretty good day!

I made crock pot lasagna tonight, it was a new recipe, it was so-so. It was easy so that is a bonus, but if I make it again I'm going to have to spruce it up Jilly style.

We got season 2 of Californication from Netflix today, so guess what we are doing? Watching it tonight :o)

Davis is looking cool in his shades on his walk today.

Here are some pictures I took of our little man last week:

Hanging out with Daddy

Sporting his MC Hammer pants, Mommy knows these are too big, but you are so cute in them

Oooh, the remote

Mmmmmmm, an arm

Practicing sitting up

Tooth #4

Is this kid ever going to stop teething??? I noticed a 4th tooth working it's way through the gums today. #3 still isn't all they way through yet and #4 has already started.

Poor Davis.

What's For Dinner? And a Sitter

French Toast and Eggs

Yeah, really healthy Jill. BUT, my hamburger didn't thaw out and I've really got nothing else. Unless Jeff wants a tub of cookie dough for dinner.

Davis and I have been doing what I call "sit training" for a week or so now. He can sit unassisted without the use of his hands for about 5 seconds. I hope by the end of next week he can sit on his own for as long as he wants :o)

Where Does It Go?

Time that is. A friend of mine just had her baby and it seems like last week that I had Davis, honestly, it does. I swear she was just announcing her pregnancy. It just goes by so fast. Davis went from doing nothing but eating, sleeping, pooping and crying to a 5 month old with a personality and a few teeth overnight. Everyone told me to enjoy that little newborn stage because it goes by in the blink of an eye, at the time I thought it was nuts, just because that adjustment period with a newborn seems never ending. Everyone was right though, I look back at pictures of him after he was born and cannot believe that tiny thing is my little man.

My cousin had her little guy 2 years ago, can I believe he is going to be 2 already? NOPE! See how time flies.

Does it make me want another baby right now? NO WAY!!!! I'm having too much fun enjoying Davis right now to even think about it. Every day is a new adventure for us and it is fun to see the different things he can do from week to week.

Is a 3rd Tooth Going to Make Its Appearance??

Davis has been super fussy since yesterday, the same fussiness he was last week when he got his two teeth. I read in my baby care book yesterday that the two bottom central incisors (the ones he just got) are followed by the 4 upper incisors. I wonder if that is why his upper gums look funny. Is it possible he could be getting an upper already??? Man, this seems so early. My neighbor told me her little guy didn't get a tooth until he was 7 months old. I guess Davis is just an over achiever.

Oh and if you have a baby but they are not teething yet take my advice and screw the Orajel and pick up some Hylands Teething Tablets, they are the only thing that work for Davis. You can even use it with Tylenol because the tablets are all natural!

Davis Turns 5 Months Old!!!!! And Some Other News

Davis turned 5 months old on August 20! I honestly cannot believe he is that old already because it really seems like yesterday that I was in labor in delivery giving birth to him. They really grow too fast. Here is a list of his favorite things to do in no particular order: chewing on his feet, holding his feet, laughing, rolling over, trying to sit up, trying to crawl (god help me, this is a new one in the last few days), playing in his jumperoo, playing in his exersaucer and trying to pet the dog. He also enjoys drinking his formula, eating squash, carrots, bananas, sweet potatos and rice cereal. We are also buying him a convertible car seat this weekend because he is already outgrowing his infant seat. By the way the infant seat we have is supposed to go up to 30 lbs, but honestly I cannot imagine carrying around a 30 lb baby in one of those things. I think Graco missed the boat on that one, I can't imagine carrying around a 10 lb seat with a 30 lb baby in it. Although before I got pregnant that seat that went up to 30 lbs seemed so SMART, haha. Live and learn.

In other news, Davis has a girlfriend. Stella Jane was born on August 21 to Justin and Jen. Jen stopped by to visit us on August 20 and she mentioned some symptoms she had been having that day that were very similiar to the ones I had the day my water broke. She started having contractions that night!! I'm so happy for them.

Sneak Peek of Davis' 3 Month Picture Re-do

Davis had his 3 month pictures taken at the last minute because I found out our photographer was leaving for her wedding and honeymoon. It was not a good day, he had shots the day before and was very cranky and uncooperative. She told me when she got back we could do a re-do, they were at 4 months but nobody will know, I'll pretend they were taken at 3 months.

Here is her blog address:

There are a lot more and all of them are excellent! Mommy will have a hard time deciding which ones to print, as always! We love Emy, she is an awesome photographer!

Brusha Brusha Brusha

Well, we have 2 teeth!!! Last week Davis was super fussy so I checked his gums out and there it was, tooth #1, followed by tooth #2 a few days later. He looks so funny with his new teeth!! I purchased a little finger toothbrush and infant toothpaste. He loves getting them brushed at night.
