Update on the Little Buddy!

Christian is 6 months old! We just had his 6 month appointment and he did really well! Weighing in at 17 lbs 9 oz and measuring 26.5 inches, he's an average kiddo. :) ... with a small head. :) He's doing well and so much fun! He finally has the rolling down... he doesn't really stay on his back anymore. He instantly rolls to his tummy... and loves it! He looks up with a big smile and seems so proud of himself. :) Our other new stuff is food! As of now, Christian seems to enjoy rice, oatmeal, and barley cereal... although he makes some faces with the barley, so I'm not too sure he likes that! Below are some pics to catch you up!

Hopefully we're through with the cold weather, but we (Mark and Grandpa H.) were able to build Christian's first snowman...

Rosey cheeks! He loved it. :)

All bundled up to visit the neighbor for his first official play date! (Our neighbors had their first baby boy about a month before we had Christian... I'm sure they'll be buddies!)What a little marshmallow!

Christian & Colton... checking each other out!

Christian's first Easter! (and Easter basket from Grandma S!)

All tuckered out from an Easter lunch with family... I love this little face. :)

And here it is... first cereal!! Daddy had the honors! (and keeps baby MUCH cleaner than when Mommy feeds him!) He did such a good job! I wasn't sure what to expect, but he looked like a pro!

I'm ready Mom! Let's go! :)

Another first... first basketball game! First of many I'm sure. :) Mark sold tickets at church to a Fort Wayne Mad Ants game... Faith and Family night. After the game, Mark, Stan & Murph (senior pastor and exec pastor at Sonrise) played in a Preachers in Sneakers game. :) SO fun! And they all scored! It's hard to believe that Mark has now completed about 2.5 months at Sonrise church as the youth pastor- time has flown by! But things are going so well. It's busy, but Mark's really connecting with the kids and I'm excited to be able to help out too. :) Sonrise also has a MOPS group... I finally went to a meeting this week and had such a fun time. It was great to meet other moms and have time just to hang out (and Christian did good in the nursery too!). Slowly but surely, we're getting to know people and really feeling at home in this new church family. Thanks for all your prayers during this transition for us!

LOVES his toes! This usually happens right before "the roll."

Bath time has also changed! We now get to sit up (kind of). :) He LOVES it! Check out all those ducks! (and all the belly rolls!)

Wow... sorry for such a long post!! I guess a lot has happened over the last month or so... and Christian has changed a ton. But life is good. We're so blessed in so many ways! Until next time... :)
