Kit Lawson - 6 Months

Our little Kit Lawson is 6 months old today, ok Wednesday, but I started this blog on Wednesday!  He is such a good baby, (funny as we speak he's having a hard time putting himself back to sleep) and we are so in love with him!  He is the calm to Monte's storm! 



Weight - not sure
Size - wearing 6 month clothes.  Haven't pulled out the 6-9 months yet but I may need to soon he's starting to out grow all his pajamas.
Size 3 diapers


- Always rubs his eyes and scrunches his nose when he's sleepy!
- On a great napping schedule now! I just lay him down and he puts himself right to sleep!  The things you learn to do better the second time around!

- Rocking, rocking, rocking!  Here is how he started a few weeks ago!  We called it planking or pushups!



- Gunnar usually brings him to our bed before he leaves in the mornings for work and he loves that Kit always snuggles into his shoulder while he carries him. 
- Took a bottle for the first time, thanks to Aunt Sara's tricks yesterday!  I got my first kid-less afternoon in 6 months!

-Loves to use his tongue!  It's like he's chewing on it trying to figure out what it is!

- Spits all the time now!  Several times I'll go to get him and his face has been covered with spit!  It seems he is proud of his new trick.

- Has started this fake laugh thing.  It's been hard to capture but here is a decent example. 


-Usually sleeps on his tummy but is starting to fall asleep in other positions more often.

- "Talks/yells/cackles" so much now! 
- Loves being outside, either in the frog or on a blanket.



- Still has the best "deer in the head lights" look!!  Also he's chews/sucks on his lower lip like this a lot too.

- Went on his first road trip with just Mama and Daddy and did amazing! 

- Best just woke up faces!

- It starting to get really silly sometimes!

- No longer needs his sleeps sacks. 
- Like I said, best just woke up faces!

- There's been several times that I've thought he might be saying "mamamamama" but I'm not totally convinced.  He does seem to make a noise like that often when he gets hungry or tired though. 

- Yes I took a picture before rescuing him!

- Finally fits in his Aggie outfit from Uncle Reb!

- Nurses once or twice a night. 

- Not interested in sitting, he can do it he just doesn't know he can do it.  It seems like he may be on course to crawl before he sits! 

- Has really taken a leap in wanting to study and figure out toys/random items instead of just hit them!

- Loves Monte!  He watches him play and tries relocate him as Monte flies by!

- Loves walks in the stroller!

- FINALLY sorta likes or at least tolerates the carrier!  Saved me at the wedding last weekend!  Apparently Daddy has the magic touch!

- Wants to crawl so bad! Has the leg part figured out, just can't figure out that he has to move his arms too!  He's faced planted a couple times trying to crawl with his legs only!

Jaxson's Birthday

I forgot to write a post about Jax's first birthday!  How is it possible that he is already ONE?  We just hung out in their back yard.  We ate, hung out, laughed at the boys, and enjoyed the cool weather!



Monte LOVES their piano!





 


Jaxson was hilarious and LOVED playing with his cake more than eating it!  

Monte was very interested in the eating part however!


He was being so silly and goofy with his cake! It was great! 





Monte has some stainless steel sippy cups and Jax loves them and always wanted to take them away from him.  So he got sooo excited when he got some of his own.  Funny thing is that I ordered them before I knew how much he loved them so it was a happy coincidence!



The boys are starting to really be able to play and interact with each other! While mostly fun it also mean they are starting to get "sharing" or the not wanting to part too!  They'll learn!

Meant to be Meadows

Gunnar, Kit, and I went to Austin this weekend for our friend Ben's wedding!  Ben and Gunnar were roommates in college and also worked together on a ranch near College Station.  It was fun and fancy!  These people are the kind of friends that years can pass and yet when we get together it feels like no time has passed and we just pick up right where we left off!  

 Gunnar, John, Ben, and Hudson.  The original four roommates! 

Some things never change!

Gunnar was in the wedding and had wedding party duties Saturday so Kit and I went shopping!  He was such a trooper! We had to wear our Aggie onsie since we were in Austin! ;)

I bought this dress and the curse/blessing of growing up with sisters is that I can't make an outfit decision without their input!  So I snapped this picture to send to them and later noticed Kit's face!  hehe Priceless! 

I think shopping wore Kit out and he fell asleep on the way to the wedding and slept through the first half! 

Gunnar had to stand up with him to keep him quiet but he really did awesome throughout the wedding!  Aren't they handsome!

The wedding was at this gorgeous old church in downtown Austin!  Don't you wish they still built buildings with this much attention to detail today?!

The reception was at the Driskill Hotel in downtown Austin!  It was built in 1886 and was so beautiful!!  Kit did so great!  Honestly he stole the show!  I could have been wearing pajamas and no one would have noticed!  I had bought him this ridiculous outfit earlier that was SOOO handsome!  Ahh gotta love a baby in a bow tie! Spitting has become his new favorite trick!








hehe

 Some guys with Hunt for Heart were there so it was fun to see them!  Gunnar, Toby, Ben, and Joe. 

The Four Originals

Love these guys!!

It was soo fun to see old friends!  I wore Kit and he took a great nap before waking up and hanging out!  I realized that I didn't get one picture of Rachael, Hudson's wife, it was great getting to catch up with her too!  We found out that they're pregnant with a girl so that was exciting news!  She played with Kit a lot!  There was a bit of a mix up with the seating. They forgot to put Gunnar a seat at the table.  haha 

We stayed with our old friends Amy and Matt. Also didn't get a picture... They are also pregnant so Kit was very very popular!  He slept SOO late the next morning! haha poor boy was worn out! 


We left Monte with my parents so it was nice to get updates like this to know he was having a great time!  

It's so fun seeing Jax and Monte becoming friends!
