We got Roman's six month photos taken last Saturday. It was a great time! He did so good and smiled the entire time! Jennifer did a great job! Here's the link...

6 whole months old!

Roman turned 6 months old on September 12th. I honestly can not believe it! My baby is growing so fast! He is still the sweetest thing ever! Below are his stats:

Weight - 18 lbs (55%)

Height - 26-1/4" (50%)

Head - 44.4" (60%)

Roman still sleeps 11 hours at night with 3 naps. Except at daycare. He will only nap in 20 minute intervals. He doesn't want to miss the other kiddos playing!

Roman now eats breakfast and dinner. He has eaten sweet potatoes, peas, green beans, squash, carrots, bananas, apple sauce, pears, and prunes. He makes the funniest faces when I introduce something new, but still eats it. He LOVES to eat! What a boy!!

Here is Roman trying squash!

I am still nursing him. He nurses or takes a bottle of breast milk 4 times a day with one formula bottle still at night.

He sits up on his own!! Roman loves to play with his toys, now sitting up. He looks so much older to me when he sits up!

He babbles and whines a lot! Especially in the evening. His whine can get a little old, but we still love him!

I love it when I'm holding him and he gets excited (usually watching Captain) and squeezes his whole body really hard and then goes in for a big hug. My sweet boy.

He is so much more aware of his surroundings. He watches Captain and laughs at him. I love watching him grow!

Dear Roman,

You have been such a blessing to daddy and me these past six months. God is so good to us for providing us with such a sweet boy. I am honored to be your mommy! I love you more than you'll ever know!!

Love,

Mommy

Plano Hot Air Balloon Festival!

Last weekend, we met our friends Kristin, Chad, Madison, Corey, Lindsey, and Chloe for the hot air balloon festival in Plano. We had a great time! It was so hot, though!! Poor babies! I had to take Roman's clothes off because he was sweating so much! Afterwards, we went and had some food and watched football. Roman ate a couple of cheerios and a teething biscuit for the first time. Every time I'm with Lindsey, she teaches me new things that Roman can try. I love it! Below are some pics!

Hot mommas!!

Sleepy babies!
That's one sweaty, sleepy Roman!

Tulsa trip

The weekend after Labor Day we decided to take a short trip to Tulsa. We normally go to the lake every Labor Day and this year we didn't get to, so we decided to drive to Tulsa and see Matt's family. We had a great time! The triplets LOVE Roman!

Me, Roman, Will, Reagan, and Gracie

Friday night, we all went to Charlestons, Bill and Pam's favorite Restaurant. The waiters all know Bill and Pam because they eat there about 4-5 times a week! So they kind of treat us like royalty! So fun!

The family!

Pa and Roman

Saturday morning, Whitney was scheduled to run a 5K, so I decided to meet her and run. I was so proud that I ran the entire thing!! Never done that before! Afterwards, we met up with the whole family for a big breakfast!

Matt's cousin, Erika had her baby last month, Henry James. We got to stop by and see Roman's new buddy!!

Overall, it was a great weekend with the family!!

Boomer Sooners

Last weekend, Matt's parents came in town to see us and to watch Roman so Matt and I could go to the OU game at the new Cowboy's stadium with his cousins. I am so mad that we didn't get any pictures with his parents! Oh well, next time. Matt and I had such a great time with Lee and Chris and it was so much fun to see the new stadium! Too bad it was a horrible game! Lee and I were so hot from walking to the tailgating area that Matt paid someone to give us water cups. I can't remember ever being so hot and sticky! I even managed to find a place to pump during the third quarter. Oh Roman, the things I do for you!

Cousins!

The gang

Time with the Meema!

My mom came and stayed with us the last week of August. It was so great for Roman to get some one-on-one Meema time. Matt had his fantasy football draft for 4 days so my mom came to hang with me. Why does fantasy football draft need to be four whole days?! Anyways, poor Matt, my mom and I went shopping!! I bought clothes for me, accessories for the house at Z Gallerie, and dining room chairs! Sorry Matt! Ha! We had a great time!

Roman started eating solids that week. It was so fun to see his face when we would introduce a new food.

Before Matt left for his long boys weekend, we had our "training camp 09" at our house. Roman is so close to crawling, but just not quite there!



We got lots of playing time with Meema and Roman. They both had a great time!

We also took Roman grocery shopping in his cute cart cover. (Thanks to cousins Mindy and Jimmy!) Roman absolutely loved sitting up in the grocery cart. He was smiling at everyone. By the time we took pictures, he was exhausted!

Thanks Mom for coming!! We love you!!
