Romans 12:9-13
"Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality."

6-7 Months!

Wait I have a 7 MONTH OLD!!! 6-7 months really flew by..and I apologize for not updating at six months, I lost the battery to my camera and just when I was about to buy another, my parents found it underneath a seat in their car. I was so grateful! Well we had Chandler's 6 month checkup late so these details won't be too far off for those that are interested..

He's 27.5 inches long, and 19 lbs. 7 oz.!!! I keep thinking one day he's going to slow down but nooo...he's still on the 70th percentile for weight and 85th for height. I'm sure no one is suprised by that fact!

Here's Chandler playing with his new cousin Anna-Grace...well, maybe not playing but it was pretty funny to see how he reacted to her.
We are now able to put his baby bath tub in the big bath tub, this actually happened awhile ago when he first started to sit up, but these pictures are from his first "big boy bath" He loooved the water, there's a video at the end of him splashing.




He's definitely a tummy sleeper now! Just like his momma. I think that was the biggest thing I missed while pregnant! When I come to get him after a nap now he gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth..He's REALLY close to crawling, probably will be any day. I'm happy and sad about this, I know it brings a whole new world of curiosity for him but having him be able to move away from me and not depend on me to pick him up is a bit depressing. I'm sure the feeling will pass soon though when I see how much fun we're gonna have.



He's definitely sitting up now! I got a good smile out of him here with Ethan.




This little man loves baths, a good thing since he's getting them a whole lot more now. The drool factor is out of control...so that means more baths. Still no teeth yet, but plenty of chewing and gnawing still.



Baby food is a 3 square meal deal these days...As you can see in the peas video there is not much this boy doesn't like. High chair time is exciting just to see the look on his face. In restuarants people crack up when they see how excited he gets to eat, and he does it the WHOLE time. You would think he's missed some meals but obviously NO.
We are so so blessed.

5 Month Pictures

My sister and I had a very improptu photo session one day and this is what came of it...Initially I was not supposed to be in the pictures but I'm glad I got in a few because they turned out cute. I am thankful for my sister's nice christmas present (a new camera from our parents) Its nice to have a photographer in the family. She's learned alot so far. Thank you sis. I love you so much and am so thankful for you.

Enjoy!

















































Baby Food

Don't worry updates are coming SOOOON...like this afternoon hopefully. But I have a question for my mom friends..Chandler is 6 months! CRAZY!!! I just can't believe it but I haven't really started alot of solids and wanted opinions on what you did and what worked, how much and how early?? Also did you mix every food with rice cereal? My pediatrician was kind of vague on the topic (we haven't been for his 6 month appt yet, so I'm sure he will have more to say then) I'm making my own baby food but I'm still doing alot of research...

But obviously Chandler is in the "higher percentlie" for his weight :) so I wasn't going to push solids too early.

I love my little chunk!

Happy New Year!

Hi Everyone! This will be a really long post to update you all on our holidays! We were so blessed this Christmas to have our little man. He is almost 5 months old and is growing like a weed. I really can't believe how fast the last few months have gone by. Chandler is a whopping 16 pounds and 26.5 inches long! BIG boy. He's getting quite heavy for mommy to be carrying around in his infant car seat! Here's a few random pictures from our holidays. Chandler and a sleepy daddy
We were blessed to see good friends that came in town to see their families. That's something we love about this season...being able to reconnect with people. We got to see Lara and Garrett for Chili night...yum. Jack is so big now! Chris and Garrett got to spend some quality time together.


Chandler was mainly just looking around this Christmas..taking everything in. I really enjoyed it because I know he will be up running around next year!





He LOVES bath time!!

We had a few bonfires over the holiday since it was SO COLD here for Florida!! We also had quite a few oysters on the grill. The guys just ate, and ate, and ate.

Check out this huge oyster!!




Chris' family, the Boree's have a big Christmas get- together...more like a reunion because their family is so big! Chandler is sitting on "Santa Boree" s lap with Granny Shirley (Chris' gma)


Have I mentioned that this baby doesn't like clothes???


4 generations!




We spent a little time in Keystone with my mom's sister and mom...Now that I think of it Chandler had a VERY busy Christmas!


Last but not least we have a new neice!!! Anna-Grace Noel Vickers was born a week before Christmas to Carol (Chris' sister) and Tommy. She's had a rough start being in and out of Wolfson's for rare issues with jaundice. She's had a few transfusions already and please pray for them as they still don't know what's wrong.


Chandler, Anna-Grace and Kale (Tommy's sister's baby born a month after Chandler)




She was so tiny and beautiful! It was such a blessing to have her arrive in time for Christmas.




Here's a video of Chandler trying rice cereal for the first time! He did pretty well for his first bites of food. I can't imagine that it tastes like anything much. He was a tropper though.






After Chandler's bath one day I walked in to find him turned to the window and "talking to himself" It was so cute....

Now that our computer is up and running we promise to be back soon with more updates. Happy New Year everyone. We are so blessed to have you all in our lives!
