Lots of things happening...

First off...my little boy is 6 months old!
I can't believe he's already 6 months. Makes me sad that my baby is growing up. He is growing out of 12 month clothes and is just solid. He is sitting up on his own, loves to watch his brother play, and enjoys eating Sweet Potatoes. He actually likes all baby foods so far, except peas. He still won't take a bottle, or drink from a sippy, but I'm not giving up! Jamie and I would like to go away overnight,
so we're waiting for Brady to cooperate. =)
I enjoy everyday with this little guy!
Big Brother is the quite funny guy!
He keeps us on our toes, and constantly makes us laugh. He is talking (non-stop), and loves to read. His favorite things are trucks, trains, planes, tractors...
basically anything with wheels. My two boys...
I know I'm biased, but I think they sure are cute little boys.
I still love to dress them alike. Their shirts say, "Dad's Team!"
We took a trip to Daddy's work to have lunch today. When we wake up in the morning, I always ask Jayden what he wants to do that day. He usually answers, "Go to Mickey's House!" (Disneyland) After I told him to choose again this morning, he chose Daddy's work. His other answers are School (Bible Study), the park, play with his friends (Mom's Group), Gaga's House, Stater Bros., Walmart, or he chooses a friend he wants to come to his house. He is quite the social butterfly, and he is good at choosing different things each day! He also loves to grocery shop! Anyways...at Jamie's Work, he loves to watch the Airplanes take off and land,
and play with all of Daddy's little gadgets.
Daddy likes to show him all his "toys" too!
Check out those glasses...
Jayden would push the button and he could hear
himself talking through the headphones.
He was having a blast!
Love my guys!
Brady was excited to see Daddy too!
He was all smiles!
This is a little random, but I thought it was so cute!
I was making tacos the other night and heard something crashing through the kitchen. Jayden had brought his little kitchen over by the stove and said he needed to,
"Cook with Mama!"
So, I gave him some tongs like I was using and a tortilla.
He put the tortilla in his pan to fry and was concentrating
so hard on flipping it with his tongs.
I love that he enjoys doing things with me. We go outside often, play in the dirt, play trucks and tractors all the time, and do lots of crafts. But, when he goes out of his way to do whatever I'm doing...I think it is so cute! He's such a great helper too.
He was so focused, I couldn't get him to look up at the camera.
Last weekend, we took a trip with Gaga and Papa to
Apple Valley to visit my Grandparents.
The boys did great in the car.
Brady is starting to like the car a little better.
Now that we have him sitting up, out of the carrier, he is happier.
He looks so big in my mom's carseat!
Big Brother rides in a booster seat now, big boy!
My grandparents have a seat to pull weeds on that is a little tractor.
Jayden thought it was so cool!
Cute boy!
My dad pushed him around for a while...
Then, decided to pull him with a rope, to save his back. =)
Gaga and Brady
Nana Cooper and 1 of 15 Great-Grandbabies!
Great-Papa and Nana Cooper with the boys
Building a house with Gaga
Using Great-Papa's Cane and having a cookie!
Snacking with Great-Papa
Cuddling with Papa
That evening, Grandma and Grandpa stopped by for a visit!
We had supper...
Brady hung out in his jumperoo!
I got the boys ready for bed...
Then, it was time to put our jackets on to walk Gpa and Gma outside.
Jayden loves playing with zippers!
That's all for now.
Have a great weekend!
