Alright God, I'll let you explain this one...

At bedtime the other night, we read the Bible story of Abraham and Isaac. I tried to explain to the girls (mostly Allie and Claire) that God was testing Abraham by telling him to sacrifice his only son. Then Olivia pipes in, "We need to tell Jesus, that's not nice!"

Happy Six Months

My boy is six months old as of last Thursday! So hard to believe. He had his 6 month check up on Friday, weighing in at 17.2 lbs. He's definately growing and right on track. Don't ask me how he compares to his sisters at this age b/c I lost track of that kind of thing once Claire came along, but I'm sure he's keeping up. He's a very friendly baby, smiles all the time, but cries if you leave him in a room by himself. His sisters are still pretty crazy about him, especially Olivia. She just loves him to death (Sometimes I think that could be a literal phrase.). She loves to kiss his little bald head, but we have to watch her b/c sometimes she likes to casually sink her teeth in (I guess love does hurt sometimes). But she's always eager to help feed him or dress him. We are on to real food now. We've tried green beans, sweet potatoes, bananas, apples, mashed potatoes and carrots. He's liked pretty much everything except the carrots, so maybe we'll try those again. His first tooth/teeth have yet to make an appearance. I can feel the bottom two just under the gums and he's been soaked in drool for two months, so hopefully it will be soon. I just love seeing those first teeth... so cute! I love my rolly polly!
