*rolls back to front and front to back
*still teething and drools like crazy! but no teeth yet
*does the cute little army crawl JJ did

 And of coarse it is his first Thanksgiving!

JJ is 5!

I can't believe that my Cheeks is already 5!  For his birthday he wanted a bowling party so that just what we did!

He had a blast with all his friends and family!  And the super adorable shirt he has on was made by a very talented local woman if your interested check out the FB page for Nonnie's Timeless Treasures.

JJ is a character for sure.  He is stubborn and hot headed but can be the sweetest little boy ever.  Most of the time he is really good with Ryder although I can tell he is a bit jealous sometimes. 

At his five year check up (on 10/29/12) his stats were as followed:
BP: 110/60
Height: 3' 7.25"
Weight: 44lbs 6.4 ounces

He did fail the vision test for the second year in a row but other than that he is a healthy boy! 

ETA: we have since taken him to the eye doctor where he was found to be slightly far sighted but completely normal for his age.

1/2 a year???!?!?!?!

Hi Momma!

At the Goffstown Pumpkin Regatta

Scary Baby bottom....

Last night during a diaper change Daddy found blood in Ryder's diaper:(  We of coarse panicked and immediately called the Doctor. It turns out that Ryder has a formula intolerance.  We are currently trying Enfamil Prosobee which is a Soy based formula.  But we did get a weight on him at exactly 5 months he weighs 15.5 pounds!

Can you help??

Im not sure how many people actually read this but I wanted to share anyway.

Today is eerily like it was on that infamous day in 2001.  Its a Tuesday, the day started out crisp and cool with barely a cloud in the sky.  Lets all remember those who died that day!  Re-read last years 9-11 post here!
