Parker's 1st tooth

My baby has lost his first tooth. It's so exciting and yet so heart wrenching!! He is growing up!!! I love that boy so much!!!

My precious punkin' pie is now 6.5 months old. I cannot even begin to express through my words how much fun this child is and how much I am loving raising a little baby again. So now that he is 6 months what is he doing?

-He still is not eating food. I chose not to do baby food this go around and just wait for him to eat little soft chunks of table scraps. So, he still gags when I give him anything with texture...so we shall wait!
-He is SO.INCREDIBLY.HAPPY. This child loves life and loves everyone. He doesn't mind who is holding him and just smiles and laughs.
-He sleeps really well. He takes 2 naps during the day and one that might very well consist of 4 hours!
-He loves his paci. He was definitely going to be a thumb sucker, but I worked and worked to get him to take the paci and at 3 months he finally took it! :)
-He finally is taking a bottle! ha! Right about the time he can start eating food! Oh well, I'll take it.
-He is sitting up great all by himself and is so content playing with toys on the floor.
-He loves loves loves the song "if you happy and you know it"

I just love this baby. I love holding him and rocking him. I love reading books to him and singing to him. It's truly such an amazing time. Since he is just now taking a bottle, Jett has gone on a lot of dates with Blake and I...but it's been fine, because it's so fun to get some one on one time with him. I love walking around with him in my arms because I am cherishing every little minute with him as a baby.

Everytime Beckham gets a bo bo, he wants to go look at it in the mirror...this past time it was on the top of his head and he asked me to take a picture of it and show him. Hahaha...so stinking cute :)

Some Christmas favorites

Parker FINALLY got a pair of footie pjs. He's been dying for a pair.

Doing advent with my parents and grandparents. It was so so special. Afterwards we opened presents and then walked around the neighborhood And looked at lights. I was in heaven.

A picture with my boys and Mimi and Papa ❤️❤️❤️

Jett's first Theiss/Kotch Christmas party and he slept thru it!

Getting to go drive around and look at Christmas lights with the Theiss/Kotch crew. Lights in Fort Worth just aren't the same, so I was in hog heaven :)

Our new Christmas Eve tradition...the three Ps of Christmas Eve...1. Pjs

2. Pizza

Doing gingerbread houses. Blake and Parker against beckham and momma.

Having a somewhat "warm" Christmas Day to go outside and watch them ride their new peddle cars Grammy and Poppy got them.

This year has been a lot more joyful!! I finally am starting to feel like Fort Worth is home. The two moms I homeschool with up here are my family and God has blessed me immensely with them. That made it easier for me to come back to as well!!! Thankyou Lord, for a joyfilled season of celebrating Christ!!!
