Mt. Charleston

My boys and I went to Mt. Charleston for a night to get away from the city life and enjoy the nice weather.  There wasn't anything to write home about, but I did get some great pics of Ceej and Abe.  Check it.

I was there, too.

Abram at 7 months

Abram is 7 MONTHS OLD!!!  He's getting so big, and changing so much!!  Here are some things to mention:
-Abey can sit up by himself, and doesn't cry if he falls over
-Abey can scoot (as mentioned) and is sooo close to crawling!
-Abey lifts his arms up to be picked up
-Abey is eating more and more solid foods, and is really good at chewing, or gumming, his foods
-Abey has a new smile.  He scrunches up his nose now, and it's so funny
-Abey is learning to give high fives
 -Abey's hair is growing super slow (like his mommy's)
-Abey can go exactly where he wants to go in the walker
-Abey is such a happy guy!  Everywhere we go people say he is so happy, and they are right!

Blog name

Does anyone know how to change my blog name as it appears on my friends' lists?  It still says 'Leaving Las Vegas', but I'm back!!!  Please help!

Scoot scoot!

Abram is scooting!

Abram- 6 months

Baby Abey is 6 months old!  And man is he huge!  CJ took his measurements and looked up the percentiles on the internet, and this is what he found:
Height- 75th percentile
Weight-95th percentile
Head circumference- 90th percentile
He's a big guy!  And now that he has those 2 teeth, we've started him on a few foods.  So far this month, he eats the infant puffs that dissolve in his mouth.  He also DEVOURS the biting biscuits.  We have been giving him baby food at night for dinner, and he eats the whole can! 
He still LOVES the pool!  I've been taking him at least once a week, and he can dunk underwater without a fuss!
 He walks forward in the walker, and can steer it toward wherever he is going.  He also sits up almost unsupported, but falls over every once in a while.

 He is such a happy, friendly baby, and I can't imagine my life without him!!

Almost 6 months, so I guess I should update my blog!!

Abram is almost 6 MONTHS old now!  I can't believe how big he is getting!  Everyone that sees him says he's HUGE!!!  And they are right!  Well I have been the ultimate blog procrastinator, but I figure I better start up again so I can save it for Abe to see when he's older.  Soooo..... I'll try and go month by month from what we've missed...

Abram-3 months

We moved back to Vegas and are so happy to be back near family and friends!  Abram loves seeing other people besides CJ and I all the time!  He is so friendly and will let anyone hold him.   His favorite things to do are still clap his hands and have tubby time, which turned into sink-y time, but he still loves it.  He loves moving himself around in the walker at Grandma and Honeys house.  He can now hold his head up pretty well while on his belly, and he gets so excited when he sees himself in the mirror.


Abram- 4 months

Baby Abey is very vocal.  Every morning when he is ready to wake up he just starts cooing and it's like he is telling us to wake up.  He like the pool, whether the water is warm or cold.  He is starting to grow some hair, and it is coming in a dirty blonde/light brown/reddish-in-some-lights color.  His eyes are bluer than ever!  He loves to sit at the table with everyone at dinnertime.  He loves going to his other grandmas house to play. 


Abram-5 months

Abram is getting sooo big!  He is so active and vocal!  And he already has 2 teeth!!!  They came just a few days apart.  So we have been trying real food on him, and he LOVES it!  We mostly have only tried bananas, and we put a piece of banana in this mesh thingy that keeps him from getting big chunks in his mouth so that he can't choke.  He is lovin the 'nanas!!  And now he can finally turn over from back to front and front to back.  Took him a while, since he hated being on his belly, but now he is rolling all over.  His favorite book is Baby Beluga and it is a sing-along.  He gets the biggest smile whenever he hears the first words, and I love it!  He loves sitting in the bumbo chair and it is really helping him learn to sit up on his own.  He is the best and we love him soo much!!!

Photo Shoot

The other week, my friend John Hanan came over to take some pictures of Abram with his fancy camera. It was really cold and windy outside, so for the most part Abe was crying in most of the pictures. John still managed to snap a few goodies. They are not edited, but still pretty good.
