Six Months Old!

First trip to the pumpkin patch.

This pumpkin is as big as me!

Can I touch it?

He is super cute! I love that he can sit up and he will eat almost anything we put in his mouth! He is such a happy baby now. :)

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

I've cried a lot this month. My grandma passed way 3 weeks before Colby was born due to breast cancer. It is so fantastic so many organizations (like the NFL) are sporting pink to show their support for breast cancer awareness month, but it makes me miss my grandma even more.

Self-check, get checked. And if you find a lump and the doctor tells you it is nothing, don't accept that answer. DO NOT. Make them check and test and whatever else they need to do. Go to a different doctor if you have to. My grandma got mammograms regularly, but was stage 4 when the doctors figured out she had cancer.

She fought. She fought hard. And when that didn't work, she joined a case study to fight even harder.

I love you Grandma. I miss you Grandma. Thanks for the legacy you left.

Child Prodigy??

Look how big he's getting. I can't believe it.

Super Cute Song

Colby likes to watch TV. My mom found Seasame Street on cable. Sometimes as a treat, I YouTube Seasame Street for Colby to watch. I thought this was so cute! What a good message. The singer is Wil.I.Am from the Black Eyed Peas.

New Christmas Stockings

Since we have a new addition to our family, I need to get new stockings for Christmas (my grandma helped me the ones I have now... She's not here to help me make any more). I found these super cute stockings.

They are made out of scarfs! They are actually super easy to make.

Do you have any ideas on where to buy affordable winter (acrylic) scarfs?

Can you believe Christmas is in only THREE months?

Milestone

Colby is finally rolling from his back to his belly. And it's not on accident any more! He has decided he likes sleeping on his belly or side now. :) I can't believe he is five months old!

Hindsight is 20/20

My friend Jess posted this on her blog, and I thought it was beautiful. As a new mom, I can take a lot of this to heart.
