Shots, Bacon, and more Teeth!

For those of you who don't know and those of you who do, a friendly reminder that we live in Texas. So far we LOVE it. We have heard though that it gets HOT! Heard because we have not yet experienced a summer in Texas yet. It was January and 80 degrees so as you and I can imagine, it gets pretty brutal.

Our air conditioner broke.

The guy came and said it was probably a dirty filter (as everyone knows when you take it in to the shop, it works like a dream). Well, we bought a new filter, the old one was disgusting. Guess what? It's not working.

Anyway.
Mav is 7 months! and he got his first ever shot on the 26th [GASP] ... calm down ...  :( I still don't think he even knows he got a shot, I mean the kid didn't even cry, not one tear. I just sang to him, he got the shot, he made a face for half a second, oh, but mom is singing, life is good. Done and done!

He has also been reaching, more for Kyle than me and it's so cute! He loves his daddy.

He also loves bacon.

Just look at those teeth! He already has his lateral incisors and no front teeth... goofing looking kid :)

And Mav made a friend. They were so cute... Liam was so patient while Mav was trying to eat his head :)

Ready. Set. Chow.

Avocado

Mav's got teeth! Ouch! Two on the bottom and they are razor sharp, just in time for his 6 month celebration. FOOD! 6 months old. Check. Sits up on his own. Check. Can pick up food and put it in his mouth. Check. Ready. Set. Chow. So far he has enjoyed exploring avocado, pear slices, banana chunks, steamed baby carrots, and homemade baked sweet potato fries! His facial expressions are priceless. We decided to bypass the purees and just let him have real healthy food, also known as baby led weaning or BLW. It's so fun to watch Mav discover the new textures, tastes, and smells of different food. Mostly he just squishes everything in his kung fu grip and gets it everywhere, but occasionally he swallows bits and pieces... the proof is in the poop :)

Sweet Potato

With little Mav turning 6 months I feel like I have been given a new baby. He goes to sleep so much easier and sleeps longer and takes longer naps by himself. He entertains himself for longer periods, which is AWESOME! And he is SO happy! He smiles more and laughs more and absolutely loves it when we sing to him. He will be crying for some reason or another and I start singing "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid and he stops, smiles really big, and looks up at me. Cutest baby ever. He still LOVES being outside and he is fascinated by his shadow.
