6 Months!

Baine Joseph, I cannot believe you are half of a year old today.  Where is time going?!  You are the happiest baby I have ever seen.  Even when you are sick, or teething, you constantly smile and giggle at everything and everyone.  Your smile always brightens my day.  You love to jump in your activity center.  You always prefer to have someone help you stand, than to cuddle now.  You need at least two bottles throughout the night now!  We cannot keep you full!! You are getting so big, and I love seeing your personality start to shine through.

Right now:
-Wearing size 3 diapers
-In 6/9 or 9 months clothes
-Trying to crawl
-Can sit up on your own
-TWO teethe!
-DARK brown eyes, and lots of dark brown hair now
-Loves to sleep on your side
-If you are not in bed by 7pm, you throw a HUGE fit :)

Make-Up Day at Mary's

Beau is definitely the ladies man at Mary's.  The other day, Banx had brought her make-up to play with.  So of course, her and Mia wanted to put make-up on Beau and use him as their little "doll".  Joe was so proud :)  Love these three goofballs!!

Star of the Week!

Last week, Beau was "Star of the Week" at school.  He was so excited for this!  For his special day, he brought in Papa and She-She as his guests.  He loved showing them his favorite toys, who is friends were, and to have them watch him play.  It was even Hawaiian day.  So the outfit Papa and She-She brought back from Aruba worked out perfect :)

I am so proud of you Beau Paxton.  You are thriving in school.  You know your alphabet, you can recognize your name, you know how to count to 14, sometimes 17.  You can match pictures, draw circles and straight lines.  You are so caring of others and concerned for your friends' well-being.  If someone is ever gone or sick, you need to know all of the details to make sure they will be okay and be back tomorrow.  Even though you are so ornery, you are so sweet at the same time.  You are very sensitive and process conversations.  I love having long, adult conversations with you already.  You are so much fun to play with.  Your love for your little brother melts my heart, and I hope you stay this protective of him forever!

Sunday Sunday With "Bebub"

We normally have family fun day on Sundays at our house, and Caleb (Bebub according to Beau) was finally able to make it over since he had been gone so much lately.  It was the perfect day to sit on the deck and watch Beau play outside on his playground.  Caleb even had some quality bonding time with Baine :)

Tara's Bridal Shower

Sunday was Tara's Bridal Shower at my mom's.  She had a lovely party and was definitely showered with gifts :)  I am so excited for her and Clint's future together.  I could not be more proud and honored to be a part of their special day coming up!

Easter Bunny 2015

This year for the Easter bunny there were no tears...success!  We had to keep telling Beau the Easter bunny is nice, and our friend.  Once I told him the Easter bunny is who brings the Easter baskets, then he was excited to go see him.  I guess we'll have to see how long this "bribery trick" lasts :)

Easter Sunday

To start off Easter Sunday, the kids had an Easter egg hunt at church.  Beau was anxious to find his eggs and help Bond get his eggs too.  After church, we went to Grandma Betty's.  It was such a beautiful day outside.  The kids all played on their toys outside, playing in the water, and had an Easter egg hunt.

Beau is finally starting to ask questions about church.  I tried explaining God and Jesus to him, and that they love us all.  I don't think Beau truly understands, but I am excited that he is starting to show interest!

Praise the Lord, Christ Jesus lives!
