A Day at the Zoo

We took DJ to the zoo yesterday. And he slept almost the entire time!! But he did wake up for a little bit.

DJ had a good time at the petting zoo. He was not afriad of the animals at all!

Here is DJ's shock over meeting Damon's family for the first time!

And here they are!!

(I kid, I kid!)

St. George Island, 2008

We are home from the beach and we had a great time!! At first, DJ hated the water, but by the end of the week, he didn't mind it too much. He would much rather have sat in the sand and played though! I made a slide show of the pictures because there are so many! There are a few of Brooklyn, my niece, thrown in because she is such a cutie pie!! (click on the link)

Here are a couple of videos of DJ in the ocean. There is also one of him army crawling again. He is starting to get the hang of going from sitting to his belly. He no longer screams when he falls forward! If he could just figure out how to get over his leg.

Forward Motion!

Well, he is not crawling yet. But he has figured out a way to move forward!! And he is getting pretty quick too. He can go from one side of the living room to the other pretty fast!

Getting so close!

DJ is really getting better at getting up on his knees. He is starting to figure out what to do with his legs, but he has no clue about his arms! But, I bet he will be crawling in a week!

It won't be long now!

DJ is trying his best to start crawling. He is able to get up on his knees, but he has no idea what to do next!







He is also starting to do push-ups to build up the strength in his arms!

Eating a Banana!

I bought an infant mesh feeder for DJ to use to feed himself. I put a banana in it and he just loved it!

Getting So Big, So Fast

We finally had to move DJ up to the "big boy" car seat!! He seems pretty comfortable in it.



We also bought him is first mobile car! He really seemed to enjoy it!

Blowing Rasberries!

DJ has started doing this ALL THE TIME!! It is so cute. Except when he does it with a mouth full of food!! I was able to get a little of him on video. Make sure you volume is turned up so you can hear him.

This child can sleep anywhere!

I was finishing up dinner last night and DJ was playing on the floor in the living room. After a while, I noticed that he had gotten very quiet! I went into the living room to find this:





Poor guy was so tired!!!

6 Months Old!!!

DJ is 6 months old today! I can't believe he is celebrating his 1/2 birthday today. It is amazing the difference 6 months can make!

Here is DJ at 1 day old, leaving the hospital:

Happy Father's Day

Today was Damon's first father's day. Here is the gift that DJ and I did for him. He really seemed to like it. DJ is wearing a pair of overalls that Damon had when he was a baby. I think it turned out pretty good!



We also got to let DJ get in Nana and Papa's pool for the first time. I think he really liked it. Nana and Papa bought him a little jet boat to float around in.





He really like for me to let him lay on his back and spin him around in the water!




And just for fun, here are some of him and Brooklyn playing together!




And if you look closely, you can see my TWO teeth!!

Joining in on the family tradition

DJ didn't want cousin Willy to think that he was not going to participate in the family fun!! Although DJ couldn't wear this shirt at Christmas (he was only 2 days old!) and it is still too big now, we decided it was time to join in on the family tradition. So mommy told him the story about how cousin Willy got beat by a chicken in tic tac toe, and how the family has never let him forget about it. Willy got beat by a chicken!!

5 Month Pictures

We finally got DJ's pictures back from Picture Me! I think they turned out great!

Eating solids

DJ is really starting to like his solids! We tried green beans the other day and he really seemed to like them!

Ok, let's try this stuff


That is pretty yummy! Give me some more.


This would go a lot faster if you would just give them to me!


Now, if I could just figure out how to get them into my mouth!

First Tooth!!!

DJ's first tooth has finally come through. I was able to get a pretty good picture of it today.
