November 2015-- Philip is almost 6 months!

We have been  a family of 4 for almost 6 months now!! I feel like we just brought Philip home from the hospital a month ago.  He is growing so fast! He's been rolling front to back, back to front since he was 3.5 months old and doing it really good at 4 months, had his 1st real laugh (Haley had him cracking up) and he also got to try out his new high chair Grandma got for him.

I'm growing! I'm 4 months old and I weigh 15 lbs 7oz & 26.25" long!

●I roll all over the place and love to sleep on my tummy
● I love chewing on my fingers & I'm drooling like crazy
● I am taking bottles & pacifiers like a champ

We took our 1st road trip to Longview right before he turned 5 months. He did great for the 3-4 hour drive. He slept most of the time. On the way there we stopped in Trinity for a feeding and on the way home we didn't have to stop once. He found his feet while he was there and he likes to chew on them every once in a while! 

Philip had his 1st trip to the zoo right before Halloween! He did great! He stayed awake the whole time but didn't make a peep at all. I've been so lucky to have such an easy baby like Haley was! We went with Gina & Lily, & Chrissy & Brody. We were missing Haley that day since she was in school.

Philip turned 5 months old on Halloween! Haley was Miss Piggy & Philip was Kermit. It was adorable. I made Philip's costume and ordered all of Haley's outfit and accessories off of ebay.  Next year it will be store bought, his outfit was work but it turned out super cute!

Haley sure loves her little brother! 

At 5 months old he is rolling around all over the floor and in his crib. He "disappears" most nights out of view of the monitor, usually at the opposite end we put him down and he loves to sleep on his tummy. We've always put him on his back but he just turns right over. We have also started rice cereal this month and introduced sweet potatoes first, then bananas, squash, pears,and carrots. His favorite is squash and sweet potatoes!  

We added a new member to our family recently! Captain! Trey's parents had Captain but since they travel often and are busy we have decided to welcome into our family! He is a Vizsla puppy and he is super smart. We have been working on training him and we have grown very attached to him. He is great around the kids.

Captain loves to play fetch, take walks, hang out with Trey in the garage, and run around in the front yard with Haley's friends. He can sit, shake, stay, jump super high when we play with the rope, and he walks great on a leash so I usually take him while I push Philip in the stroller. We are working on catching the frisbee and rolling over but I see that's going to take some time lol.

Big Sister Haley is loving Kindergarten. She adores her teacher Mrs. Hefner. She has made new friends this year and she even went on her first Kindergarten field trip to the Oil Ranch. She knows all her sounds from each letter of the alphabet and has learned almost 30 sight words to help her learn how to read. She comes home and reads short books to me! We go to the library often and pick out books to read. She is one smart girl!

Well Philip just woke up from his nap, gotta go! Until next time....
