The fastest 6 months ever...

Damon is 6 months old already! Wah! =( I've taken to calling him "Your Fatness" whenever the big kids aren't around. Liam tells me that's not nice. But he's got these irresistible cheeks... and he still likes to hoot and screech at us, so we also call him our screech owl. His chops are also on the roly-poly side and he just snuggles in when you hold him. And then he promptly twists around to see what is going on BEHIND him. And then twists the other way. And sometimes he goes straight back. I keep telling him that he's going to scare 10 years off the lives of his grandmothers if he does that while they are holding him...

Thanks to Grandma Barb, Dada and I got to go to his work's dinner dance party on Saturday night. We had a wonderful time! And then after church on Sunday, we snuck out to see Harry Potter 7. Two great dates in one weekend; we are getting spoiled. Grandma Barb made it back home safe today. Thanks for babysitting!!

Tonight Damon tried baby oatmeal for the first time, and we seriously could not shovel it in fast enough. I had to made two more small bowls of it for him! Couldn't believe it! Safe to say he's a fan. So far he really likes sweet potatoes the best, then carrots, then peas, and squash is dead last. Not sure if it's because it is thicker than the others or what, but he's really not fond of it. I think pears is next on our list.

Carrie gave an oral report on gray wolves last Friday, which also included presenting a habitat box. She received 48 of 50 points and was very pleased with herself. Way to go, Carrie! She's now our official expert on gray wolves, so ask her all about it. =D

Liam is having a wonderful time in preschool, especially with his friends Sam and Cordelia. Miss Alicia is very patient and has a good time with them. Liam loves to come home and have lunch with Dada, and he is constantly smooching the baby. See pictures below.

Gotta get this crew ready for bed. Tomorrow is a scheduled 2 hour delay, Thursday is Damon's 6 month appointment, and Friday night our home group is going out to eat so we'll actually have a babysitter for that, too! Yay, Lexi!

Have a great week, everyone, and enjoy getting ready for Christmas!
