7 Months Old

Well, Mclain is 7 months, and honestly not a lot has changed with him in the last month. He sits up really well now, still has no interest in attempting to crawl (I'm pretty ok with  him not being able to destroy everything for now), and he loves to eat. If you're eating something, he thinks he needs to have it too! He is finally growing pretty good and has the funniest/craziest personality. Couldn't love him more than we do!

          My two super handsome men!

        Seriously this kid is adorable! 

6 Months Photo Shoot

Before we officially headed home from our Spokane trip, we made a stop at Camera Shy to get Mclain's 6 months photos. 

Camera Shy did a great job. I highly recommend them! Here are a few of my favorites.

Trip to Spokane

The perk of James working for his parents' hardware store is that sometimes he needs to go to a hardware show with his parents, and sometimes I (now "we") get to go with him. Are these shows super exciting? No! Are these shows remotely interesting. No, not particularly. Then why, you ask, do I consider them to be a perk of the job? Well, because they're usually free. This resent one in Spokane was a particularly free one: flight, hotel, and most of our meals included, not to mention all the free crap the vendors give you at the show. 

This was obviously Mclain's first time on a plane, and I was a little worried he was going to be a little monster, but he did great!  Yeah, we had a few monstery moments, but they were pretty short lived. 

Getting on our first flight. Yeah, it's 6:30 in the morning!

They had a bunch if these photo things around the convention center. Don't ask me why, but we took advantage of them. 

One of the vendors had this super cute little rocking chair in his booth. Mclain wasn't so sure about it.

Taking a walk along the river. 

Of course James spots a deer down along the river in the middle of town.

For some unknown reason, Spokane has a giant red wagon in the park, so James took Mclain down the slide.

Mclain got so much attention at the convention. It was like no one had seen a baby before. (I'm sure they haven't seen one as cute as this little guy is though!)

Plane ride home! 

Had to take a picture of his plane ticket!

Finally back in a hotel in Utah! 

Had a blast, made lots of new experiences, but so glad to be home! 

6 Months

Mclain turned 6 month on August 28th. I'm a bit behind, but we've been trying to get into a routine since I went back to work, which has been a little hard. 

Mclain at 6 months:

Is 14 pounds 7 ounces, 10th%, finally he is starting to gain some weight (still wears newborn shorts though)

Is 27 inches, 50th%

Has a pretty loopy head due to getting vacuumed out; hopefully it fixes itself

Rolls all over the place

Hates peas and rice cereal, but loves sweet potatoes, green beans, applesauce, pears, and oatmeal cereal

Sits up with the not so gracefulness of a drunkard 

Shows no interest in getting up on all fours, but would much rather pull your hair, rip your face off, lick everything, or blow spit bubbles (very skilled at blowing spit bubbles)

Enjoys yelling "mum" at me (must be channeling that royal British baby)

Still sleeps in his bassinet at the foot of our bed upstairs; one day I might move him to his actual bedroom where he actually fits in his crib, but I just can't let him go yet

Is an exact replica if his dad just with my nose and pasty complexion (poor kid)
