Happy 6 Month Birthday

Luke turned 6 month's old on August 27th. During his 6 month of life he started having stinky burps (seriously!), moved backwards in a crawling stance, stopped his 10:00 feeding (Yay!!!), and started a 4 hour schedule (did you hear the cheers?- this was a HUGE YAY!!!!). Here are some other things which haven't already been blogged about: He started reading ~:0)

He started wearing pajamas to bed every night. We had thought that footed pajamas wouldn't fit in his shoes, but they work just fine as long as they aren't too bulky. This adorable outfit was given to Elijah by his Aunt Abigail. Love it Ab!

We had been putting a blanket over him, but he started rolling from his back to his stomach quite often (we removed the incline that he had been sleeping on due to reflux-go here to see how he used to sleep). One morning at 4:30 I heard him making some noise & when I went to check on him he raised his head to look at me. Once I rolled him onto his back, he went right back to sleep.

I took his 0-3 month clothes out of the closet. It was sad to see all those teeny-tiny clothes packed away, but PRAISE GOD he couldn't fit in them any more!!!

Daddy time is always fun! This is the first time he actually SAW Jasmine the horse. We'd taken him by a few times, but he never really looked at her. Jasmine enjoys the carrots that we bring her (and your shirt too, if your not careful). He enjoyed eating with MeMa :0)

Here's some other cute pictures from this month.

Riding in Style

I'm thinking it would be pretty nice to go running like this...a cushioned seat, shade, toys, and a fan...what more could you ask for...I guess to lose weight at the same time :0)

Jasie even took a ride one time on a SUPER hot day. She kept trying to lay in the grass so I gave it a shot. She rode for a few minutes and then wanted out :0)

Nothing like snuggling up after a long HOT run!

Gotta Have Pringles

On a hot day in August, Luke went on his first picnic. Barfield Park is just a couple of miles from our home which we have gone to many times before with Jasie. There is a trail that leads to a shallow wading area in the Stones River. I'll never forget the first time that Jasie plunged right into the water. She loves it (until it gets a little deeper)!

This was the first time Luke wore his stylin sunglasses. He has always hated when the sun gets in his eyes so these made being outside much easier for him.

Oh, and you know you've gotta have Pringles if you go on a picnic....at least if you are a Graves :) I have had them every time I've been on a picnic since I was a little girl. They were our special picnic chip. When Spring rolls around, I make sure to buy 2 or 3 cans so that we will be ready whenever we decide it's picnic time (although I have been known to stop at the store on the way to the park).

Walk

One day while Grammie was helping Laura and the weather was very nice, Luke was able to go on his first walk around our neighborhood. Jasie loved leading the way showing Luke the way back home.

Hopefully, Mr. Horse will become a friend of Luke's later on!
