6 months old already

At the end of October we enjoyed checking out the Lexington Barbecue Festival for the first time.  We ate some good barbecue, walked around town, and enjoyed people watching.  They had live music and lots of arts and crafts for sale too.

I couldn't resist I had to dress Jaxon up as a giraffe for Halloween.  We went to our church for their pumpkin bash and then came back home to hand our tracts and candy. We had around 40 kids that came by.

This past week we had our Fall Global Celebration at our church.  We celebrated with our missionaries that our church supports, what God has been doing all over the world.  We had a picnic at a local park
and Jaxon enjoyed his first time in the swing.  We really enjoyed hanging out and getting to know our missionaries better.  We are so thankful our church puts a high priority on missions and gives us opportunities to get involved.

Jaxon loves his veggies.  He's tried butternut squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes.  He's so funny to watch when we feed him.  He opens his mouth and reaches for the spoon.  We usually feed him around our meal time or when its time for him to nurse in the evening.  He seems to eat better.  I also have been feeding him cereal after his morning nap and he is eating that better now.

We can't believe our little man is 6 months old now.  He had his photo shoot this weekend and was really cute posing with his pumpkin and then in his santa outfit I found at Target.  We can't wait to get the pictures back from our photographer.

I had to dress him up like Pastor Chris (the pastor that married us)

Pastor Chris wears sweater vests all the time

Just chillin and sitting up like a big boy

He loves to talk.  Well all he says right now is "Da Da Da Da" I would love to know what he is talking about when he is lying in his crib.  He loves to laugh and still rolls all over the place.  No crawling yet.  He also loves to chew on his fingers and sometimes he will put his whole hand in his mouth.  His legs are getting stronger to where he can stand up and hold on to the couch.  Of course we have to have our hand close behind his back so he won't fall.  He is still a little unstable.  He's not quite ready to sit up by himself. But I'm sure it won't be long.

Happy 6 months little man!! You always make us smile.
