Mirror time

It's nice to have a good self image.

6 months

I can't believe Drayton is half of a year!  We've had a big month and have had so much fun with him.  He is so good natured.  We've had a few more firsts this month.  He had his 6 month checkup yesterday and got his first shot.  He took it like a champ and acted like nothing even happened.  He just kept smiling.  He's just so sweet! (which is why it makes me mad that it made him vomit today!)

Our big 6 month old is now eating food a few times a day, sitting up by himself, playing by himself, babbling all the time, laughing more, starting to pull himself up to stand, is in the process of getting his first tooth and wetting his diaper all by himself.

Drayton has had lots of cousin/family time this month!

Drayton and Lilly (kind of look like they are related!)

Drayton, Nongy and Beau

Not too sure about Marlee's affection

All four cousins with Mimi

My parents and brother, Burton, came to visit us!  It was Burton's first time in Texas. 

Slappy is pretty good at making Drayton smile!

Drayton with Uncle Burt Burt

Caden is so sweet with Drayton and Drayton loves him!

Drayton wants to be just like Caden.  Should I be worried?

All 4 cousins with Mimi (don't know why I can't delete this picture since it is already on here?)

Cookie with the three boys

Ty's cousin Carrie and her husband Wes (and soon to be Graham and Gibson) were home from Brazil and Drayton got to meet them for the first time!

Finally, Drayton went to cradle roll for the first time Sunday!  He looked so big sitting there!

Food, glorious food!

We've had a big few weeks!

 Mimi and Nongy, and Uncle Cole and Aunt Tiffany came to visit again!  It was also a very special trip since his great-grandparents, Grandmom and Jack, came to visit!

We have introduced him to food!!  I'm not sure how much he's actually eating since it all seems to end up on his face, his tray, his bib, his legs, his eyes . . .  The first few times I made it, it was a little bit clumpy and he kind of gagged on it.  So, I guess that means some of it is getting to his throat.  I've gotten much better though, and he loves it!  He tries to grab the spoon and feed himself, which usually results in him dumping it out.  Suddenly, he seems so old and big to me!  But it is the cutest thing to watch him try to eat.  I love it!

Proud moment for every parent

Drayton has quite the hairline.  I thought I would highlight his best asset, the rat tail.  You will also notice his dreads (it looks like bugs in his hair.)  Classy.
