Busy Busy Busy (6-7 months old)

Jack turned 6 months old on October 18 and had his doctor's appointment for shots and a general check up. The doctor says he looks really good and he did pretty ok with the shots. His 6 month stats are:

18.11 pounds (75%)

26 3/4 inches long (50%)

17 3/4 inches head circumference (90-95%)

After Jack turned 6 months old, it meant he was ready for some real food. We have decided to make our own food for Jack (except for the oatmeal) and so far I think he likes everything we have given him! So far we have tried oatmeal, avocado, and green beans. Next up, peas!

First bite of oatmeal

Sorry a little shaky and a little long, but he makes me laugh with how he chews after a bite!

Jack has also started sitting up on his own! We plan on baby proofing this weekend because it is just a matter of time before he starts crawling.

The weekend after Jack turned 6 months, J.P. and I went to St. Louis for our friend's Dan and Shanna's wedding. This meant that Jack (and the dogs) got to spend the whole weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Price. Grandma and Grandpa loved having him and were good about sending us pictures.We had a great time with our friends and it was nice to spend some time with just the 2 of us, but we sure did miss our little man.

The weekend of October 26-29 was super busy!
On Friday, We took another trip to Topeka for an alumni event for my Washburn University soccer team. It was great to see everyone again and Jack got to play with Elle, Mickey, and Liam.

On Saturday we drove to Atchison for Jack's 6 month pictures. Atchison is so pretty in the fall and was a great backdrop. He did great and I can't wait to see them. Megan Bickford always does a great job.

Later that day, we headed to Olathe. My sister and brother-in-law were in town from Phoenix so we wanted to spend as much time as possible with them. That night, Grandma and Grandpa Hatlestad watched Jack while J.P. and I went to a Halloween party with Cari, Kyle, and Kyle's sister and her husband. It was a costume party, so we had to dress up. J.P. is often compared to Mr. Incredible so we decided to go as Mr. and Mrs. Incredible.

On Sunday, Kyle's parents had a Chief's watching party that we were all invited to. Jack got to play with Kyle's sister's little girl while we watched the Chiefs loose, again...

On Monday, I went to work while Cari, Kyle, and my parents got to watch Jack. I only worked a 1/2 day so I met Cari and Kyle at Oklahoma Joe's, the best barbeque in Kansas City! Cari had never eaten there before! I know, weird! We spent the rest of the afternoon just hanging out before we met Kyle's family at Minsky's pizza for 1 last gathering before Cari and Kyle headed back to Arizona. Jack loved hanging out with his Aunt and Uncle and I think they loved spoiling him all day!

Jack celebrated his first Halloween as a skeleton for day care and a lobster for trick-or-treating (to 1 house) and pictures.

Picking out his first pumpkin!

Daycare outfit! I think it lasted 2 hours...

I know it doesn't look like it, but he liked his costume I swear...

See! He is smiling. The dogs on the other hand, do not like their costumes! 

Jack's pumpkin!

The last thing that we started this past month or so is swim lessons on Saturday mornings. Jack is doing a great job and even goes under water! I hope he enjoys
swimming as he grows!

Just a funny picture with the best pacifier ever! Thanks Luke and Cate!
