6 Months!

6 MONTHS ... HALF A YEAR ... IS HE STILL A BABY?!!! Well even when he is 40 he will still be our baby but we cannot get over the fact it has been half a year. This little bug is the light of our life and definitely #1 to us both. I jokingly tell Eric that I would take a bullet for him but if I had to chose between him or Deegan ... sorry but I wasn't picking him :) Luckily he said ditto!

New Toy

Blowing Raspberries!

As you have seen in previous videos, we have started to feed Deegan big boy food. We have moved onto solids and he is not the typical baby. The kid HATES (I mean gets the shivers) Applesauce, Prunes, Pears, etc but totally loves green beans and sweet peas. How Bizarre!!! Here is a picture of our pea face ... YUM!

We had Deegan's 6 month check-up and he is shrinking. He is now 28" inches (75%) and 15.4 lbs (15%). Tall and skinny ... Eric thinks I cheated on him! HA! But overall, he is a healthy little man.

SOOOO BIG!

It is hard to believe how quickly Deegan is growing! Just a couple weeks ago, he had trouble balancing to sit up on his own, last week, he could sit for about 10 seconds, then lose his balance, Today he sat up until he got bored and then dove for a toy!
Such a big boy, posing and smiling for Mommy!

We decided to give up the Bumbo and be a REAL big boy in our high chair. He is a MUCH cleaner eater using the high chair, good idea Momma!

Love that flavored rice cereal, so much so that he can easily down 4 tablespoons like nothing!

Happy HALLOWEEN

For Deegan's first Halloween we went to Grandma Donna's for a Halloween Party. Of couse we had to dress Bug up as a Bug and Eric and I were "Bug Patrol." We had tool belts that had diapers, pacifiers, chew toys, wipes, etc ... All things needed to take care of a Bug problem :)

The funny part was Deegan went to bed before most of the guest arrived and everyone kept asking us about our costumes as they didn't make sense!

We have been working on sitting up by ourselves and he does a great job ... He does have face plants here and there but he never cries.

Though CSU is having a rough season, we are still proud to wear our green and gold! Proud to be a CSU RAM!

Mom and her little RAM

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our bouncer!!!

Love the flavored rice cereal... and spoons!

The Deeganator!

Daddy here again... Since I am tech support for the blog (Uploading, Downloading, Editing and video conversions, etc) I figured it is just easier for me to do a few video posts!

Lately at Daycare (Bugs spends most of his day surrounded by little girls at daycare) the girls have been calling him the "Deeganator". We thought it was just a funny and cute little nickname, but what we have now determined is that the "Deeganator" will more than likely be his B-Boy Breakdancing alter-ego! ENJOY!

The Bug Bug Bug, The Bug is the Word!

Ok People, Daddy has broke in to the blogosphere, so look out... we have started using the video camera a whole lot more now that 'Bug' is growing so fast and seems to be doing new things each day! Here are a few videos that will hopefully brighten your day.

This video is of Deegan after his 4 month check-up. Our pediatrician recommended he start eating 'Rice Cereal'. So we went and bought single grain rice cereal and mixed it with breast milk and, well, have a look for yourself...

Ok, So as you can see by the outcome of the video above, we needed a different course of action. Deegan got H1N1 Flu shortly after that video, so we stopped the plain rice cereal routine while he was sick. We knew that we had to work on getting him to learn to eat 'big boy food' so I figured we will spend a few extra $'s and try 'flavored rice cereal'... Low and behold, the next video...

A little advice to those that are going to or recently had a child, start with the flavored stuff... It will make life MUCH easier!!!
