6 Months

 I can't believe we are at 6 months already! Deacon is getting so big!

6 Month Stats: 

Height: 26.75 inches, 57th %

Weight: 17 lbs 10 oz - 48th %

Head: 17.75 inches, 82nd %

• His laugh is still my favorite thing! I could listen to him laugh all day.
• He has tried squash, sweet potatoes, and apples. He didn't seem to like them much at first, but after a few bites he did much better. He really likes them now.
• He is starting to sit up by himself. If he reaches for a toy or something he tumbles over, but he is getting better every day.
• He and Olivia are starting to notice each other more and like to watch one another.
• He has probably been to Cabelas more than I have in his short 6 months.
• He can sleep through the night, but we have had a rough couple of weeks, which is hard because he was doing so well.
• He likes to touch our faces while he falls asleep. Lately his fingers have been making their way up my nose!
• Still likes to stare at the ceiling, lights, and fans.
• We are looking forward to his first Thanksgiving and first Christmas!
• Overall, I think he is a very good baby!

Socks and Sleep

Deacon played so hard on Sunday in his bouncer that he fell right asleep.
It was cute because he did not want to let go of his toy. (:

My mom sent me the two pictures below:

"I love eating Livy's socks."

"Livy come back, come back! I'm not done with you!"

Photo Shoot (almost 5 months)

A lady in my ward had her sister-in-law take some pictures of Deacon for me for my baby shower gift. They were taken on Oct 12th and I just got them back this week. He had some pretty cute ones in a little rocking chair she had. We will probably end up with way too many pictures of Deacon that I will never do anything with (he gets his 6-month pictures taken next Tuesday)... but oh well. I guess i'd rather have too many than not enough.

And this is a picture my mom took and sent to me that I love!

She wrote" Hey guys, two hands are better than one!"

Jazz Game

Deacon experienced his first Jazz game last night. Matt got some lower bowl tickets from his aunt and the Hart's also had some extra tickets up above, so we all just shared the seats. Deacon did really well and enjoyed watching the game. He was great with the noise and only got startled once at a buzzer.  He could yell as loud as he wanted and even sported his Jazz gear (thanks to Grandma)! He did get sleepy towards the end, as you can see below, but overall he did great!
