Week 27

Before we get too far into Week 28, here is Mr. E's 27th Week.

While last week was full of firsts and momentous occasions, this week was more about settling into new routines. As we are still pretty fixated on E's growing diet, perhaps it is not surprising that this week's photos centered on eating.

Congrats this week Mr. E on conquering oatmeal and trying your first avocado...now if I could only stop stressing about which feeding methodology to follow...

Week 27 and E is already too cool for school...

The Official Week 27 Photos
Hopefully, this will be a temporary stage, but someone is beginning to be much less patient with his weekly photo shoots...

Even if he is getting sick of weekly photos, E still loves playing in his room and bath time remains a favorite activity...

Who are we kidding, now that E eats solids, feeding E has become a central feature of our weekends. E began the week trying oatmeal, and by the weekend, he was trying avocados.

All of that eating made E a very sleepy boy...and a great shopping buddy!

Last, but not least, the B-sides this week 
(as I mentioned above, we were all about E's eating this week):

Hope everyone has a great week:)

What a Week, Week 26!

Wow, Week 26, what a week it has been. Our little guy celebrated his 6th month birthday, broke his first tooth, started eating solid foods and got his first kiss - all in one week. It is hard to believe that it has been half a year with our little man. 

Now, for the official 6 month stats - Mr. E weighed in at 16 pounds, .6 ounces and 25 1/4 inches long. Woo hoo, back in the 25th percentile.

Here's to another 6 months of happy memories!

Can you believe it? We can't..
It has already been 26 weeks!

The Official Week 26 Photos - since our big computer is off getting fixed, no photoshop this week :( - we finally got our act together (well, almost)

And the 6 month photo shoot...I can't believe he is half a year old...
 

Rockin' the Baby Bands - Doesn't he look so grown up without the carseat!?!

The random food post of the week - who knew how yummy cauliflower pizza could be?
Even J likes it...

 So, in between celebrating what seemed to be a ton of milestones...here are some fun shots from around the house...

...E playing with his new tooth...
...in the exersaucer
 ...practicing sitting....please don't notice that we were practicing on an elevated surface...

In the spirit of milestones, here are some photos of E practicing his crawling...he's getting close:)  And, I clearly need to get better at editing.
 
 
 
 
 

 Having fun in the bouncy seat:
 
 

This one is for Auntie Allison. Look, the duckies still fit:
 
 

Arguably, the biggest highlight of an already-exciting week....the beginning of solid food. 

Though initially skeptical...
 
 
 

 ...look who likes his ricey cereal...
 
 

Solid foods and a kiss from Miss R - it was a good day and great end of the week for Mr. E!
 

Last, but not least...the B-Sides
 

I think it's time to update the baby book...hope everyone has a great week!
