LITTLE RUGRAT

I know longer have a new baby. I have a 6 month old!!! Jace is 15 LBS 10OZ. A couple of weeks ago I started him on baby food. I've been able to give him fresh beans and carrots from our garden. He LOVES feeding himself. I love the fact that I can sit him in his seat and he can munch on crackers or bread while I make dinner. Jace loves playing with toys!! I can sit him in front of a basket and he'll spend the next 30 minutes investigating all the toys. Recently I stopped swaddling him, which was hard for a few days. While figuring how to sleep with his arms free, he learned how to roll from his back to stomach and prefers to sleep that way. Now, he has started to sleep longer during nap times and is skipping one night time feeding-he still eats around 2 and 5. Jace is always smiling and laughing. He always gets the hiccups when he laughs. He says "googa" when you talk to him. He is very flexible and easy going. Logan adores him. He wants to pick him up and snuggle with him. He has started to crawl backwards. Yikes, I don't want him crawl yet! Then I'll never get anything done.

CLEANING HOUSE

I'm trying to "clean house" and I'm selling some of my baby stuff. If you know any one that needs maternity clothes, a baby swing, nursery bedding set, or a high chair have them call me. Also I'm starting to sell baby clothes, 0-6 months. I would love to give the stuff to someone I know rather than a stranger. Thanks...

I am strangely attached to my maternity clothes. The other day someone bought my favorite jeans that I wore almost every day! I almost didn't want to give them to her. LOL I find myself feeling the same way with the little boy clothes. Each little outfit brings back memories. Jared mentioned something about, "things can always be bought if we change our minds down the road." It's true. However I'm 99% sure that won't happen. Especially when the last three nights Jace has been up every two hours (any ideas of how to make a 6 month old sleep better without making him "cry it out")?

MY NEW FAVORITE FOOD

Somehow Logan talked me into getting him this cereal. WOW! I can't stop eating it-This is officially my new favorite food.
