6 months flys by when you have a child!

Donovan is 6 months old! I can't believe it. I think is trying to sit, stand, crawl and walk at the same time, which has left him at a complete stand still. He needs to figure out which one he wasnts to work on, and go at it!
He has had a bad cold for the past week or so, and has been preetty fussy the last two evenings. I worked until 7 Wednesday night and I got a text from Tim about 6:00 saying that D had a temperature of 102.3, and was really fussy, what do I do. I hurried home and found everything was fine after a little tylenol! The next day he had his 6 month appointment, I told her the situation and she did her normal check on him. He had a double ear infection! WE had no idea, he was normal baby all day other then the last few hours at night. NOt only that but he was very wheezy from his cold, that she put him on an inhaler. I told her that Tim has bad asthma and she said that he is at a higher risk of having it, so like his daddy he has an inhaler too! HE is now in the 25 percentile in weight and the 50th in height! He is still a little puny! (sp) Unfortuantely I don't have any new photos because I broke our camera, but I do have a video of D when we went to Lake MIchigan last weekend! Nothing too exciting, but it shows just how adorable our little guy is, and how everything goes in his mouth! :)

Mankato, Crawling and Apple Love...hate

Last weekend Donovan and I spent the weekend in Mankato, which is where I started my college career 10 years ago! This time was a lot different then 10 years ago when I started for many reasons. This time I brought Donovan with so he could meet Amanda and Liz, whom of which he hadn't had the pleasure meeting yet. It was also different because my tolerance for alcohol has diminished almost completely. It took me two/three days to recover from a night of beer and shots. I used to be able to do that 3-4 nights a week, maybe more, and now I am not sure if I could ever drink again. I will spare you the details of the plane ride home, but lets just say it was not good. And quite embarrassing. Anyway. This is a story my son will hear when he is out of high school, because he will hold it over my head his entire high school career. I would post pictures of the weekend, but because of my frame of mind and physical condition, I broke our camera and couldn't download any photos. Other then that is was a gerat weekend, we took a walk around campus, went to all the old bars and some new ones. Talked for hours. It is amazing how I can go months with out seeing these girls and we pick up right where we left off. I have been blessed to know such amazing women, who have truly seen me at my best and worst and are still around! THANK YOU!

There is a photo of him at 5 months. Which is the cutest photo ever. Also there are some videos of him getting really frustrated. Which I think is adorable, he doesn't think it is so funny. The first one is of Donovan attempting to crawl. I think he is going to do it very soon. He hates that he can't figure it out yet, he is just way ahead of what his body is ready for! What a go getter!

The other video is his love/hate relationship with the apple on his exersaucer. I literally cannot have this apple on the exersaucer while he is playing with it or he starts crying within 5 minutes. If the apple is not on the exersaucer, he could play in it for hours! He wants the apple, but once he has it is gets upset. It is quite funny.

Diaper head

Ok, so we all have those photo's of us as a baby and we think what were are parents thinking? We needed to continue that tradition! We just couldn't resist!
