A Whole New Experience.....

Ok, so this post is really late because I guess Jack is now 7 1/2 months but better late than never!!  Anyways, Jack is 7 months, it is incredible how fast the time has gone!  He is doing so many things now, crawling, mostly army crawling but some crawling on hands and knees, sitting up on his own, and now we are working on finger foods.  So far we have done the basics like puffs, yogurt melts and cheerios!!  The one thing we aren't doing well in is the sleeping category, he was doing so well for a while and now he wakes up nightly wanting to play, not cool!!  Chuck spent the morning lowering his crib because he is also pulling himself up on everything now, including his crib!

One of the many benefits to being a stay at home mom is that you can hit some of the fun activities during off peak hours!  Hannah, Jack and I headed to the Indianapolis Childrens Museum this week to check out Jolly Days!  They had a huge slide and some fun ice skating, but the hot spots for us were the same, Barbie and Playscape.....Hannah is starting to learn her way around the place, but this was Jacks first opportunity to play!

The stairs!!! We didn't have stairs when Hannah was this age!!

On November 22nd, Hannah turned 3!  It is hard to believe that we have a 3 year old, it has been an amazing 3 years, I never could have imagined that a little girl would add so much fun, love and excitement to our lives but she has and I am so thankful for her.  It seems that things change a little when they turn 3, this year she actually understood her birthday and was excited to have friends come to her birthday party.  She was even upset when a couple people who we thought were coming couldn't come!  Her 3 year doctors appointment was even different, they took her blood pressure and checked her back for scoliosis!  Hannah is 39 inches and 42 pounds, she is happy and healthy!
We did have a birthday party for her the weekend before her birthday, it was a rainbow party.  The 3 things she asked for were...
1. Rainbow Cake
2. Pink My Little Pony
3. Purple bike

Hannah is taking Jack for a ride...

I think he likes it....

It is very hard to believe that Baby Jack is already 6 months old!!  He has already brought so much fun and excitement to our family in such a short amount of time.  The other night when I was reading to Hannah before bed, Jack was lying between us and she turns to me and says "I love Jack, I don't want to take him back to the store!"  So it seems that Jack has managed to win over all our hearts very quickly!!
At 6 months old Jack weighs in at 18 lbs 5 oz and is 26 inches long!  His main mode of transportation is rolling to wherever he wants to be but recently he has mastered scooting backwards and every once in a while inching forwards!  He is still mainly eating breastmilk but for the last month he has been eating oatmeal and so far this week we have tried avocado and pears, he is a fan of both!!
I haven't taken the official 6 month picture of Jack yet (because I am a slacker) but here are a few recent shots!

The colts aren't doing so hot this season but that doesn't bother Hannah much.  This past Sunday Grandma Dodge was nice enough to let Hannah use her colts ticket and hang out with Baby Jack for the day so we could take Hannah to the Colts game.  The outcome of the game wasn't great but we still had lots of fun hanging out with Hannah for the day!
