6 MONTHS OLD...




I was trying to think of ways to share some of Chance's personality with those who can't see him regularly. Pretty much everyone who reads this. So, here are a few of our favorite things (it's so hard to make this short!)
--The yawn...the yawn itself is cute, but the little sound that goes with it melts your heart!
--The stretch...when Chance wakes up in the morning I lay him on his changing pad and his arms go above his head and stretch as far as those little arms can reach. Immediately after that he's ready to play! It's hilarious!
--His feet...these days Chance would rather sit up or stand, but if he's on his back he is still loving to play with those feet. He yanks on them, eats them. Oh, what fun they are! Then I put shoes on him and he's really thrown off.
--His laugh...It's absolutely contagious. He is ticklish on his belly, his feet, under his arms, everywhere. So that gets him laughing. He also thinks the dog is very funny. He will just stare at her and laugh. (Indy doesn't think Chance is near as funny.) Don't get me wrong, he has his unhappy moments too!!! But I truly remember having dreams about his laugh and praying he'd be a "Happy, Healthy baby." So, to hear that is so incredible to me! God answered that prayer beyond my wildest dreams!








FIRST COLD...
A couple weeks ago Jon brought home a cold to share with us :) Chance had a runny nose and slight fever. So, we pulled out the humidifier and tylenol. In just a few days he seemed to be as good as new. He was such a trooper though, still trying to keep a smile on his face. Here are are few pics of him when he was under the weather.




FIRST TOOTH...
Shortly after getting over the cold Chance started to get more fussy. He's been teething for a couple months and finally the little tooth came through! Jon and I were so excited, by watching us you would have thought he'd just won a gold metal at the olympics! It made us a bit sad too though, because we realized he really is growing up so fast. I can't begin to imagine how we'll feel when he goes to kindergarden or even college. Big Sigh!
I tried to get a pic of the tooth, but Chance just kept trying to bite my finger, so no picture.

FIRST 6 MONTH TOY...
I pulled out a new toy to celebrate the big day! He's always excited about new toys! Thanks Wendy Roberts for the fun learning table! The sound doesn't drive us crazy at all! haha:) He really loves it!

Our Super Baby!

Thanks to Aunt Jen for sending us cousin Grayson's superman outfit! We all enjoyed playing with our "super baby." Chance had a ball flying around the house! A little backstory...when Jon was little he wore a superman outfit all the time. His reasoning behind it....he wanted to be prepared in case someone needed his help! Guess Chance is going to be taking after his Daddy!




We had dinner together as a family for the first time the other night. Chance sat at the table with us as we all enjoyed our dinner. Chance is loving getting to taste some solid foods, but they do make a little more of a mess. He is so curious about everything and wants to touch anything in his view. The other night he literally grabbed his spoon from me as if telling me, "No Mom, I want to do it myself." Then he reached his hand into his bowl of rice cereal and proceeded to spill it all over himself. I loved every second of that mess!! I love watching him discover new things! (Sorry no picture of that precious moment.)


Chance has always been a fan of music and recently he's been mesmerized by Praise Baby-God of Wonders. Usually he's so easily distracted by anything around him. But when he was watching this DVD there wasn't anything else that could possibly get his attention....not even his mom taking a picture.
