Gunner's 6 month check up

Gunner went to see Dr. C yesterday afternoon for his 6 month check up. It was SO nice outside. When we got to the clinic and I put him in the stroller, he really seemed to enjoy the ride from the car to the door. I wish we'd had more time to do something outside yesterday afternoon. But, we had a date with Dr. C instead.

he LOVED the paper he was sitting on.

Everything is looking great for our sweet boy.

His stats looked like this...

Weight: 20 lb. 3 oz.

Length: 27 in.

I got out Tuff's 6 month stats when I got home to compare. Gunner is leading the race by 1 lb. exactly. At Tuff's 6 month visit, he weighed 19 lb. 3 oz.

He got 3 shots (boo!) and we headed home. He seemed to be a little cranky last night but slept wonderfully once he went to bed and was in a great mood this morning. SO glad everything looked great. Hoping to stay healthy for a long while.

Happy Wednesday!

Our weekend

We didn't do too much this weekend. Daddy had to work on Friday night so I invited Aunt Manda and the boys over for dinner. We had lasagna and Tuff got to play with the boys. He's always excited to see the boys. Saturday was a lazy day. When everyone got up from their afternoon naps, we decided to take the boys to the park. It was a pretty day and Tuff had asked me several times that morning to play outside. So off to the park we headed. Gunner really seemed to enjoy his self and Tuff always does. Here are a few pictures of our adventure to the park.

Tuff likes to go down the slide on his belly. He says he does this at school with Grady.

We've been hearing A LOT about Grady lately. Grady is a boy in his class. I think they must be big buds.

Gunner wasn't so sure about the slide :)

Gunner trying out this ride ;)

Tuff loved the swings.

I think Gunner mostly enjoyed the stroller ride.

Sunday we went to church and after church we went to Ashton's 3rd birthday party. Ashton is the son of a friend of mine, Ashley. He also goes to school where Tuff does except he's in one class up from Tuff. I didn't get a whole lot of pictures at the party because I was running in and out trying to keep an eye on both boys. Gunner was sleeping in Ashley's room and Tuff was playing outside. Tuff seemed to really enjoy his self. Enough to throw a mini melt down when we tried to leave. :) He was out like a light before we left their sub division.

Playing ball outside

They had a jungle-jim with a slide and swings. Tuff really liked it.

He might have to have one in his near future.

Last night while we were having dinner we gave Gunner a sippy cup for the first time. He had no idea what to do with it but he was so excited about it. He would try to hold it and once he would get it to his mouth he'd be so excited that he'd let it go. It was pretty entertaining to watch. By the time we were done with dinner his entire shirt was soaked. :)

READY....

SET...

GO!!!!

YAY Gunner Bear!

Not too bad for his first time!

:)

Today is T.T.'s birthday!!! She's turning 14!

Just yesterday she was Gunner's age.

(and I remember it like it was just yesterday)

And then Tuff's age.

And now she's grown into a "2nd year" teenager.

And she's definitely FULL of teenage attitude and drama.

But we still love her of course!

:)

Happy Birthday Tori Leigh. Sissy loves you to the moon and back.

And so do your sweet nephews!

Gunner has his 6 months well visit this afternoon so I'll be back with his stats tomorrow.

Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Do they look alike?

I like to go back and dig out Tuff's pictures and compare to Gunner's, as he grows. Here they are at 6 months, side by side.

What do ya'll think?

Do they look alike?

Sweet babies!

I've posted 3 different posts today so don't forget to scroll down and see Gunner's 6 month "sneak peek" if you haven't already.

Gunner "sneak peek" - 6 months

My friend Anita has done it again... a great job that is! She came out and took Gunner's 6 month photo shoot yesterday (since it was finally nice enough) and sent me a sneak peek late last night. I'm IN LOVE with them, of course!

Happy Thursday, Friends.

Wordless Wednesday

It's Tuesday...

...and I don't have much to blog about. I do know that if you were praying with me on Friday, the prayers worked. We are all still safe and sound. We actually never got anything too terribly bad. Just a small thunderstorm. Thank goodness. I am literally a nervous wreck when it comes to bad weather. I guess I've just had too many "close calls" in my days.

I don't have a lot to update ya'll on. Gunner is still sleeping in his crib. He's been in it every night (and every nap) since I posted about it last week. He seems to be doing pretty well. He's always been the type of baby who just prefers to be laid down awake and he goes to sleep on his own so I didn't think it would be too much of an adjustment.

Both boys have been having some strange symptoms the past few days. On the way home from church on Sunday Tuff threw up all over his self and his car seat. I just figured he'd gotten car sick (he's done this before) because he acted fine the rest of the afternoon. Yesterday afternoon he ran a low grade fever. Around 3 am this morning he woke me up with a fever. When Gunner woke up this morning I made him his bottle and he only drank 2 ounces. I didn't really think much of it. After we got to my mom's and she fed him his cereal, he threw that up. I thought to myself "Wonderful!" I'm sure it's just some kind of bug but really? I'm almost postive you all get tired of hearing about my babies being sick all the time. Because I'm positive I get tired of them being sick all the time. Ugh. There isn't much we can do for Tuff since he's already on an antibiotic anyways... remember the 3 week antibiotic? So I guess it will just run it's course. As of right now, both boys act like their normal selves. Which is good.

Gunner has been rolling over from back to belly every time we lay him down the past few days. He's so funny about it because he repeatedly does it but gets so mad once he gets over on his belly. I snapped a sweet picture of him this past weekend after he made his move.

And I just thought this one was sweet.

Gunner bear also got to ride the tractor with Uncle Junior last week. (Big Brother was having no part)

Gunner obviously wasn't thrilled but also didn't mind it :)

Tuff continued to go on and on about it but was also letting mommy know at the same time that he wanted NO part of it. HA!

Work has been busy and I have been tired! :-/

Tax season is in full force around our office, for sure! Just thankful I'm not pregnant this year.

We are looking forward to seeing GG in a few weeks.

 We haven't seen her since the trip we took down last April so I'm excited. Thankfully they are letting me have a day off from work so I can spend some time with her. We have plans to go to the Grand Ole Opry one night while she's here and I'm pretty stoked about that too. :)

Well, I know this was random but it's all I got for today!

Happy Tuesday!
