6 months

Today Ronan turned 6 months old. I love that he loves to sleep in! He is a cuddly baby and we love him tons!

Here are a few pictures from today. You wouldn't know that he really is a smiley baby from these photos, but he is! He cracks up every time his siblings pay any amount of attention to him. He loves 'em.

Here you can see his chubbiness is catching up with him. He was getting stuck in his crib on a daily basis! Time to put the crib bumper on :)

This kid has loved to stand since 2 months old, and quickly moved onto jumping in your lap! We were in Utah in July for a family reunion and put him in a jumperoo and he was thrilled! We finally got one and he's been in it for over an hour...I've never seen him so excited for so long! He's in heaven, and so are we, watching him laugh at himself. Too cute!

The girls are liking the jumperoo just as much! This morning they couldn't wait to jump with Ronan...I'm hoping it'll tire them out and they'll be ready for nap time :)

August

We rearranged the kids' bedrooms again and tried Ema on a twin sized bed. After 2 falls, landing & getting stuck between the bed and the dresser, we decided to go back to her toddler bed. Poor kid!

Tricia got married on the 14th and the night before, all of my sisters spent the night together in one hotel room (6 grown girls on 2 double beds! oh, and ronan co-sleeps, so really 4 on one bed!!). It was an awesome night, no one got any sleep (sorry Tricia!), but we had a blast nonetheless. Here's the highlight of the night, playing with the "bump it".

I finally went through my deep freezer and found all this milk from when I was nursing Ema. It was too old to use, and it was so hard to let it all go!

Here's Ronan at 5 months. I figured out why he's not as roly-poly as my other kids, even though he weighs more, it's because he's taller than every one of them! It'll be interesting to see if he stays that way!

Emalyn thought Ronan would look pretty with her sunglasses on him. I think he looks like Elton John :)

We got some rain (not too much this season) and the kids were excited to go out and play w/Ronan in the rain. Here are some cute pics...




And, lastly, here's Ronan all dressed up in his new church clothes. The kid's only 5 months and is now in size 12 month clothes. Crazy!
