He is such a boy

He is really good at blowing snot bubbles.

phat feet

We bought these chucks for Ari when he was in my tummy. It was a little splurge we allowed ourselves because we thought they would be so cute. We never had a chance to have him wear them because his ankles were too fat, and now that those have thinned-out, his feet have grown and now they're too fat. It's okay because he loves to play with them, so now they're just a pretty expensive pair of chew toys.

still cute, still sick

This is a particularly drowsy picture of Ari. He just has a running nose that makes it hard to nurse and sleep. He still likes to play and wiggle, just a little slower than usual.

sick baby + sick mommy = cuddling and watching movies all day

It also equals taking his temperature in a not so fun place and lots of calls to the pediatrician's office.

been sleepin' through the night . . . kind of

His Doc said that I need to start pushing him to sleep through the night so it doesn't become a bigger problem as he starts getting older. It. Is. Hard. Ari is very persistent.

the stats

We just got back from Ari's 6 month check-up. He is 21 pounds and 28 inches long. His doc says he is doing good!
