6 months already?!

I can't believe that my little man is 6 months old today!! Where has the time gone?! I always knew time flew, but I didn't realize how much until Trey was born and this half a year has already passed!!! I took him to the doctor this morning for his 6 month check up, and he is perfectly healthy the doctor said! He grew a 1/4" (sad! I wanted him to grow more) and gained 2 lbs since his 4 month appointment! He is still small, but the doctor said that he isn't underweight or anything like that, he is just a small little guy! Of course, I never expected him to be huge since when Brian was his age, he didn't even register on the charts!

At 6 months Trey:

*is 26 1/4" long and weighs 14.6 lbs
*sits up supported, and will sit on his own for a few seconds all by himself
*has his 2 front bottom teeth
*loves baby food, and can now start having the meats
*is enthralled with his daddy--he looks for him everytime he hears him talk, even if he was asleep or eating
*scoots across the floor with his face in the ground (he doesn't want to stop chewing on his hands..haha)
*plays with his toys
*"talks" to us all the time
*screams all the time now that he knows he can get loud
*sleeps all night most of the time
*usually takes 2 naps per day at about an hour and a half each

I love this jumper!!!

Todd and Tina got Trey this jumper when he was 4 months old, but up until now, he didn't love the time he spent in it. He would sit in it for a while and play with the toys, and then would fuss to get out. Now that he is a little older and his back is getting stronger (he can sit supported), he likes to jump in it! Even though he leans all the way forward, he has a great time in it. Today was the longest that he wanted to jump. He went on and on for about 30 minutes before he got tired and was ready for a nap! I think his little squeals sound like monkey sounds, and his laugh is so cute!! Like my sister said, he's a little monkey in this!! Too cute!!

Trey's motor/blowing bubbles skills

This is Trey's new thing! He soaks everything around him with drool, but its so cute! He will do this all day long!! He also loves to throw his scream in there to for a little variation...never a dull moment!

A Few Firsts!!

Trey had a few firsts this past weekend!! His first 4th of July, his first road trip, his first trip to the zoo, his first professional baseball game, and his first tooth!!!!! Brian and I took Trey with us to St Louis for the holiday weekend to visit our friends Paul and Nikki! They have been trying to get us to come visit for so long, and when Brian's baseball team was out of the tournament they were playing it, we thought it would be the best time to go! While we were there, we took Trey to the St Louis zoo for his first trip to a zoo. He slept in his stroller for a lot of it, but when he was awake, he did pay attention to some of the animals. It was just so hot! On the 4th of July, we were taking Trey to his first professional baseball game! I wish it had been to a Reds game since he is a Reds fan, but oh well. Paul and Nikki had 2 extra tickets to the St Louis/Milwaukee game, so we took Trey. Of course he wore his Reds tshirt and Reds bib! haha. While we were driving to the stadium, Brian was in the backseat with him, and felt Trey's first tooth!! I had checked for it that morning when I was feeding him breakfast, but it wasn't there. But there it was, just barely broken through his gums, in all of its glory!! I can't wait for it to come through a little more so that everyone can see it when he smiles!!! When that happens, I will definitely post a picture!! :) But in the meantime, here are some pictures from the zoo and from the game!! :)
