Six and a half months already!

Bo has been a very busy boy. He has added crawling to his list of things he loves to do. Well, it's more like an army crawl, but I'm sure it will be an all out crawl before too long. His favorite things to get into are Hallie's dog bowl, Hallie's feet, and the computer cord. It's funny how fast they learn what "no" means and how fast they choose to disobey. It's never too early for discipline! 

I love books and I've been reading to Bo, but I haven't been letting him look at them by himself. I'm afraid he'll ruin them, but then I realized I would rather have to buy new books because he's ruined them using them, than having perfect books he hasn't ever read. Besides when he's older I can teach him to keep books nice. He does like to chew on them, but he actually does more looking than chewing. Hopefully we can keep up his love for books. I CAN NOT wait to read him some of my favorites!

Now on to pictures!

"Hey dude!" 

Cute boy in a big hat.

"Look at me reading mom!"

Enjoying a book about his favorite subject - eating!

Heading straight for....

A Big Boy Bath and a Jumpy Frog

Bo had been taking a bath in the kitchen sink, but the bottom of the sink was really slick and it was a pain to disinfect the sink every time Bo needed a bath (which was becoming more frequent). One day I thought I would stick him in the tub just to try it out and what do you know, he loved it! I like it too because the bath stuff can stay out (instead of under the sink), the bottom of the tub is not slick, and Bo loves "swimming"! Daddy had to capture the event. 

This is a picture to show the future wife! 

Daddy took this picture because he liked this outfit. I like this picture because it shows you how long his legs are. This is a 6 month outfit. 

 We had so much fun on Halloween! Mommy and Daddy might have had more fun though! 

Grandma Cherie and a little jumpy frog.

The three little speckled frogs - like from the song. 

Sweet froggy boy

"Weeeee!"

A Pumpkin Picking We Shall Go

Sunday, my mom, sisters, Darren (my sister Becky's boyfriend), David, Bo, and I went to Kirby Farms to find pumpkins in their pumpkin patch. This year the adults had more fun than the baby, but next year will be another story. There were lots of fun things to do - it's a kids paradise! 

Bo and I looking at the goats. He liked feeling the wooden fence better than the goats. 

Bo did NOT want to look through the painted picture thing. He kept pushing away and whining. 

Looking at a pumpkin and almost blending in.

Daddy and Bo on some hay bales. These two have the same eyebrows!

Bo trying the hay.

Nom nom nom 

All of us looking - except for Bo of course. 

Bo loves his grandma!

Such a cute couple. Can't believe my sister's dating Jude Law! Just kidding! 

I found this cute stud hanging out by the truck. I might take him home with me. ;) 

This was just funny. 

In the corn maze. 

In the field, claiming his pumpkin. Putting things in their mouths is how babies mark their territory. 

"Yep, I like this one. But that one over there is nice too!"

Can you spot the baby? 

How about now?

While we were having fun taking pictures, Bo was having fun trying out the dirt. 

We had so much fun and I can't say enough how much I LOVE our camera. It takes such good pictures, is easy to use, and so easy to transfer to the computer. I might have to take a photography class at KCKCC to get the most out of it though. 

Blue Eyed Boy

I did another spur of the moment photo shoot (that's all I do). Bo made the funniest faces and was in such a good mood that we took pictures until the light changed. There are so many fun crafts/hobbies that I'm interested in, it's hard to find time for all of them, but photography is definitely one I'd like to get better at. Hopefully when he turns 6 months old I can purposefully set up a photo shoot with actual outfits, backdrops, and props. 

Without further ado - I give you "Blue Eyed Boy". Enjoy!

Chillin' on mom and dad's bed. 

"Aren't I so cute?"

This is Bo's favorite new face - it's almost like fish lips.

Watchin' the fan.

Max looks so stately and alert and Bo looks like he is contemplating grabbing him! 

5 Months Old!

I can not believe that Bo is already 5 months old! I've been trying to learn a little more about our camera and did an impromptu photo shoot for practice. Bo looked so darn cute I decided to post the pictures. Hopefully soon I can do a real photo shoot with a better background, but for now these work. 

I Heart Pinterest!

I have a new love in my life, in the form of Pinterest. Yes, I know. I'm a little late jumping on the bandwagon. That's me with everything. A TON of people had to try to convince me to read the Twilight series before I finally did. Same thing with Pinterest. I had heard about it and many people told me I should join. I didn't really get it until I said, "What the heck, I'll see what it's all about," and finally checked it out. It took all of about two point five seconds of being on Pinterest to realize I had been missing out. Pinterest may be the single most awesome internet invention ever. Probably tied for first with Facebook and Twitter. I've only been a member to Pinterest for, oh, about three days and look at what I've already accomplished! 

Not a very good picture, but yes, that is candy corn in there. 

Also saw this on Pinterest and HAD to make it! 

I collected some acorns from my parent's house, bought some fake fall leaves from Dollar Tree,  and paired it with the "stick thing" (it doesn't have a name) - all ideas from Pinterest. 

The candle lit with the lights off. Ohhh ahhhh

I'm telling you right now I may become a Pinterest junky and need an intervention. You'll know I have a problem when I start "pinning" things in my dreams. Happy "pinning"!
