Strawberry Picking

Last week we went out and picked Strawberries! We sat Doran in the dirt and let him explore. He loved it. And got very messy.

I think his favorite part was the vines. He loved gnawing down on those.

 We picked a total of 20 pounds. WAY more than we needed! We mad a lot of freezer jam and I ate a lot! They've been yummy! Can't wait to go back for raspberries!

And, totally random, but we saw this creepy statue of a lady on our drive home.

Take me out to the Mariner's Game!

We took Doran to his first baseball game! I don't think we really watched much of the game, but it was fun. It was LDS night and a lot of members from our ward were there sitting with us. We also got a free shirt! While I was out getting our free shirts, Doran was hit with a peanut butter cup! People were throwing candy up into the stands and one pelted Doran right in the head. Poor kid.

Doran tried on Devin's shirt. Matching.

Our seats were way up in the nose bleed section, but it gave us a great view of the city.

Happy Father's Day!

Never has a hamburger looked so sweet.

6 Months Old!

Sometimes it is crazy to think that Doran has been with us for half a year! He is growing so fast! It is so much fun to see him develop and learn. He's not our little newborn anymore.

He sits up all by himself now.

We went to his 6 month check up a week early, so he might have grown since then. My chunky monkey is now a Slim Jim!

Weight: 16 lbs 5 oz (30.70 %) that's only a 1lb 4 oz increase since his 4 month check up. He's been working on getting longer.
Height: 27.25 inches (79.13%) not really sure where he is getting his length from. He grew an inch and a half in 2 months!
Head: 43.5 cm (57.98%) which only grew a centimeter in 2 months. 

 

Happy

Posing

Yes, I'm cute

He's grown 6 inches and doubled his weight since he was born!

Last of the first half

I was just uploading Doran's 6 month old pictures and I found a lot of pictures from last month that I just love.

Doran is reaching for everything these days, so this picture of him reaching for the camera is so fitting.

Yeah, the floor is messy. Who can clean with such a happy baby in the room?

This is how he fell asleep. Zonked. Haha.

He's been playing with his feet for a while now, but just recently realized they could go in his mouth. He's got a nice mouth full in this picture.

He was being really cute and playful during tummy time and I couldn't resist taking pictures of him.

Introducing: Cereal

We introduced cereal to Doran this past week. It's been fun to see his reactions. He's not very interested yet.

He didn't like rice cereal at all. He pushed, shoved, and ran away (or at least he would, if he could). We gave him a break from rice cereal.

And let him try Oat Cereal, which he likes a lot, sometimes. It is still hit or miss. Usually a miss. 

Feeding him is definitely a messy, messy job. I have a feeling that it is just going to get worse...
