Luke is 7 months old

7 months... 6 teeth....and 18 pounds later!

I cannot believe our baby boy is now 7 months old.

The time has flown by.

There have been a few changes for Luke.  He started crawling (kind of).  I know that will pace will pick up rapidly.  He went from 2 teeth at our 6 month update to 6!  He has been busy teething, but he has not be fussy or grumpy whatsoever.  Luke is now sitting up completely on his own.  He has also become an excellent napper.  He is taking about an hour nap 2 or 3 times a day.  Luke started eating squash & sweet potatoes this past month.   His menu is growing and so far his absolute favorite has been prunes.  Needless to say, the babysitter and we did not appreciate the week of prune eating.  

Stats:

6 teeth

18 pounds

about 28"

and as handsome as can be

Luke has been very busy...

Over the past month a lot has changed for the Anderson family!  

Mommy went back to work after a GREAT summer, Luke started daycare (in home care), Luke turned 6 months old & he was baptized!  We have been very busy....  Here is a picture recap.

6 Month Stats:

Weight: 16.7 lbs

Height: 26.75"

Head Circumference:  43.5 cm

Luke has two teeth and the third is well on its way!  

He is rolling all over the place and babbling so much.

He is sitting for very short periods of time on his own, but

sits great with support. Luke is a great sleeper... 8p-6:30a    

 no.matter.what.

He is eating apples, pears, bananas, peaches, carrots, prunes and 

will start sweet potatoes this week.

This month Luke had his first fever (100.5).

But that was most likely his tooth...  

We are looking forward to month 7!

He's so cute!

Luke is 5 Months Old!

5 months... how fast the time has gone already!  I have loved spending my summer with Luke and needless to say I am dreading returning to work and leaving him with a sitter.  But, a momma's got to do what a momma's got to do.  

5 Month Stats:

weighing in a 15 pounds, 11 ounces

measuring at PROBABLY 26"

eating peaches, bananas & apples

has 2 teeth (bottom)

Loving:

swimming, talking, tummy time, staying awake for very long periods of time, 

sitting in a highchair to play, petting Ace and playing the Baby Finger app.

It has been a great month, cannot wait to see what the next month has in store for us!

Show Us Your Life: Picture Displays

This week, Kelly's Korner is all about picture displays...  I thought I'd share my picture displays from around the house.  (They are not perfect, I took some of them on my phone)  We have pictures displayed EVERYWHERE! Kitchen....dining room....living room...hallway... bedroom.  EVERYWHERE!  

Here are our displays:

We love pictures and all of the people in them!

Mantle Update

After last week's post... I realized we needed to vamp up our mantle!  After looking back on my "Home" board on pinterest, I came up with a few ideas.  Thanks to Staples' photo enlargements and Hobby Lobby's 1/2 Picture Frames, here is the updated mantle!

The only new items are the "home" sign and the picture & frame.  Total cost $45!

Show Us Your Life: Mantles

When I saw Kelly's Korner was hosting a mantle party, I realized...  our mantle is in desperate need of some love.  Right now, there is NOT A THING on it.  I redecorated our entertainment center and snagged a few items from the mantle.  Hopefully we can get the mantle fixed up soon.  In the meantime, I thought we could stroll down "mantle lane" and look back at the mantle over the past couple of years.

See, we don't actually have a fireplace in our house.  I found this mantle 

at an antique store and loved it.  We have used the snot out of this!

It was first used in our bedroom, this was obviously the "moving in" stage. 

We later moved into our entryway, which is where it still lives today.

My mantle needs lots of love!

This was our mantle last summer, looking good.

But still needs something better.

Here was our New Year Mantle 2011.  

This was fun, but of course only temporary.  

Like I said before today, the mantle has NOT A THING on it.  

I am desperately searching pinterest and hoping to find great ideas. 

Check back soon & I hope to have an updated mantle post  :)
