First swim

Jameson went for his first swim today. He seemed to really like it!!!

Busy

Mackinna has had a sort of wiggly tooth for ages. Daddy asked her today when she was going to lose it. She scoffed and told him it would hurt really bad if it came out right now because it wasn't loose enough. He suggested she wiggle it more. Her reply: "I don't have time. I'm too busy!"
I'm still laughing about it. It's almost as good as when Kaden told us after the blizzard earlier this month, "this is what I want for my birthday!" Good luck with that buddy. Thirty inches of snow in July is not terribly likely.

Blizzard

We got about 30" snow yesterday!

6 months!

I can't believe Jameson is 6 months old!  His 6 month photos proved to be the most difficult yet.  At 5 months he kept rolling over, well this time around he added trying to pull the sticker off to the roll trick.  Its an annoying combination, but I got a few good pictures eventually.  He is completely sitting on his own now and eating lunch everyday.  So far we've tried baby oatmeal, bananas, avocado and sweet potatoes.  He has been battling  a cold, but despite that remains the happiest boy.  He is just delightful!  He seems like a little peanut compared to his brother at this age, but really he is still bigger than your average 6 month old.  Here are his stats from his 6 month check up.

Height: 28" (91%)

Weight: 18lbs 10 oz (66%)

Head: 18.5" (100%)  Our kids always have huge heads!

Big 6 month old boy

Sticking his tongue out at Mommy

He noticed the sticker on his shirt and wants to peel it off

This is what he does now when we try to change him

What?!  Now that I'm 6 months old I want to be changed like this!

Baby's First Christmas

It was if we tried to see how many ridiculous Christmas outfits we could put this boy in...

You can't really tell, but he has Rudolph shoes on

He loved this present!

New owl hat- Mommy's favorite!

I swear I didn't pose him like that

Baby with all his presents- he slept while the big kids opened theirs!

Christmas

Yeah I know I'm like a month and half late, but thanks to the blizzard outside, I finally have some time to catch up and since it was a lovely Christmas and Jameson's first, I didn't want to let it go by without a blog post!

The big kids got ipods from Grandma- so that was very exciting and kind life changing here.  Mackinna now texts and facetimes like crazy and Kaden is a game-oholic.  They also both enjoy watching shows on hulu plus.  Santa brought nutcrackers which seems to be a trend.  These kids are strangely into nutcrackers.  They each bought themselves an additional one after Christmas with their gift cards!  Jameson bought most of a high chair for himself with his gift card.

Christmas Eve was crazy with all the MacKinnons, but it was perfect and Christmas day was quiet and lovely.  Mom and Dad came over for a couple hours in the morning to bring the kids their gifts and the Emersons came by in the evening to eat Christmas Eve leftovers.  It was great.  Then on the 26th we went up to camp for the day.

Here are a few pictures...
