i had just brushed me teeth and breathed the mint on him... he put his whole nose into my mouth and took a huge sniff. so strange!

6mo pics!! finally!

gorgeous outfit from Gramma Joyce

the photographer (who was just voted #1 photographer in Denver) LOVED this outfit...

santa pics and new surprise trick!

ho ho ho....

grinch grinch grinch.
looking happier, sort of... well, cuter anyway.

not too sure about that beard, santa... and arent you supposed to be wearing a hat??

ok, seriously. the beard is freaking me out. get me OUT of here.

immediately after the "santa incident" - on the way to the car. trying to get the smile back!

this is more like it - fun at the track meet!!

and tj's newest trick - omg he's pre-walking. bought that booster seat today, put the box on the floor for him to play with, and boom he just started walking around with it. ??!!

dawning of a brand new TJ...

the last 3 days we tried something new... putting him to bed at 8:30. short version: first nite, he cried for 2 hours. :( sad tj. second nite, he cried for about 30 min. last nite, he didnt cry at all, was asleep by 9, and slept til 8:30 this morning!! YAY TJ!!!

crawling and standing

what a big boy!!! on one hand exciting, on the other, STOP GROWING SO FAST!!!
this is his very first time standing up in his bed - i looked over and YIKES time to put the mattress down!! he even took a few little cruiser steps.
he's been pre-crawling for a while, sort of a "crawl crawl bellyflop legkick crawl crawl bellyflop legkick" kind of thing, looked like "the worm" from the 80's... but now he's really crawling with tummy off the floor, all the way across the room. i had to roll his pantlegs up cuz he kept slipping on the hard floor!! his poor little knees... he needs some kneepads.

jabbering up a storm ;)

more video to come of his jabbering... he "says" other stuff! but the timing has to be right (ie he says baba, but only when he wants his bottle! and "mmmmmo" but only when hes nursing...more??!) i SWEAR im not imagining it!!
