6-Month Pictures

Here's some of Boone's 6-month pictures and one of him in his baptism outfit. He thoroughly enjoyed himself in front of the camera.

Big Sis Piper did a good job supervising the photo shoot and, after trying to adjust her ponytail all by herself, even took a short minute to pose for a picture!

6-Month Appointment

Boone had his 6-month check-up yesterday. Here's his stats:

Weight: 15 lbs 4 1/2 oz (Right between the 10th and 25th Percentile)

Height: 25 3/4in (25th Percentile)

Head Circumference: 17 1/2 in (just above the 50th Percentile)

Dr. Haile said he looked great and Boone had a great time showing off his smiles and facial expressions as she checked him out. He did great with his shots and even saved a big smile for the nurse after she was done. He still has a little residual wheezing, thought to be from the RSV he had earlier in the winter, but Dr. Haile said no reason to be concerned at this point and she will just keep an eye, or rather an ear, on it.

I Have A Question for You Daddy...

The other morning, Ger was sitting at the kitchen table with Piper. She had finished up her breakfast and had just gotten down from her chair. While playing on the floor near Ger's feet, something caught her eye on his feet. She came over to Ger and said, "Daddy, you has toe whiskers?"

Feel Better Soon DanDaddy, We Love You!

DanDaddy has been in the hospital since the Friday before Easter. On Monday of this week he had a procedure done to his lungs which will hopefully make him able to breathe much better and make him one step closer to coming home soon. Please keep he and Bube in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks to everyone who's been saying prayers already, keep praying, I think it's working!

Fun and then Not So Fun

It's great to get your picture taken with your little brother and cousin. Life's good, you, as the big sister/big cousin, get to sit in the middle, while you're flanked on either side with a little fella. Yes, life is good.

Then your little brother, who, by the way, can't seem to control his arms and what he's grabbing onto, just can't quit touching your shoulder and grabbing the sleeve of your dress. No matter what you do, he just won't stop. Somehow, the more frustrated you get, the more he smiles, which makes matters all the more frustrating.

Boone-Buddy Got "Captized"!!

This past Sunday, Boone was baptized. But before his big debut at our church, his big sister was there to give him a big pep talk. Ger and I were sitting in the pew waiting for the mass to begin. Boone was in his carrier right at our feet and Piper was sitting between us. She got down and sat on the kneeler right next to him and said, "Boone-Buddy you get captized today, like I got captized too! No be scared, we here to totect you." When it was time for Boone, us and the godparents to get up, Piper filed out like she knew what to do and stood up there with us the whole time. Boone did great and the water over his head made him smile. So congrats little buddy, you're officially captized now!

Thanks to the best godparents around, Aunt Heather and Uncle Fran, and Cousin Jackson too for making the trip. Uncle Fran flew in straight from Mexico City. Special thanks for not bringing the swine flu with you!

Thanks to Grammi and Fafa for being there to help us celebrate, we sure had fun!

Thanks to the Sayers family for staying home!! Ha, ha. When Cousin Osten called Saturday morning to tell us he threw up and he and his sister, Marci, both had "di-a-reka", we told them that though we would miss them dearly, we were glad the di-a-reka germs weren't coming to South Carolina.

Bube and DanDaddy, we missed you so much. Thanks for the wonderful blanket for Boone. Get better really soon DanDaddy.

You've got your loader...you've got your dumper.
