Just for kicks

 Here's a side by side comparison of my kids at 6 months old.  They sure look a lot alike don't they?

Also this is my 400th post!  I'm pretty excited about that!

Bath time

(We were having issues with our computer last week.  Thanks to the Apple Genius Bar everything is dandy now so there is a cluster of posts here that I needed to catch up on.)

Now that Max has started eating solids, lets just say he uh...needs a bath EVERY day. You moms know what I mean. It's usually in the morning, and Kate just loves to help me bathe him.  I hope by saying that I didn't take away from the absolute sweetness of these pictures.  I am in LOVE with them.  And I especially love them in black and white.

Max my boy

I just love this little boy so much! He is just the cutest, snuggliest thing ever. I know I've already posted like a billion pictures of him, but I can't resist posting a few more.

Aww... these pictures just make me want to hold him!  So I will :)

Scallywags and Buckaneers away!

I was babysitting my niece and nephew the other day.  Maddock discovered Kate's pirate stuff, and they were entertained for hours! They built a pirate ship and sailed the seven seas.

They pillaged and plundered.  They fought over treasure.  They protected everyone from monsters and dragons. 

And Jaylee?

Jaylee said, "I don't want to be a pirate.  I just want to be a princess."  And she set up camp in the Kate's princess tent.

I love these kids!

Kate's Turn

As I was taking Max's 6 month pictures, Kate starts to whine that SHE wants to take pictures too.  At first I just dismissed it, but then she became very insistent so I said, "Okay but you have to get dressed and you have to let me do your hair", and to my surprise she said "OKAY!"  So I took full advantage of that.  And even though she only stayed in front of the camera for about 5 minutes, I got some of my favorite pictures of her ever.

She is such a beautiful girl.

 I'm so jealous of her gorgeous eyes!

 Favorite!

"Kate Watson in the hizz-ouse!"  hahahaha!

 No wait, this is my favorite!  Ever.  I love my little girl!!

Six Months

Max turned 6 months yesterday!  I always love whatever stage my kids are at, but I really really love this age!!!

He had his well child checkup yesterday.  Dustin took him because I was too sick to go.  Thanks sweetie!  He said everything looks good and his hitting all his milestones.  Current stats are:  19lbs and 27 inches long.  75% for both.  His head is in the 50% but I don't know the exact measurement on it.

 Just look at this guy!  I may be a tad biased, but I just think he's the cutest baby ever :)  He's a big healthy boy who eats every 3-4 hours.  Every three hours during the day (almost to the minute) and if I'm lucky I'll get a 4 hour stretch (sometimes, but rarely, a little longer) at night.  I haven't had a good nights sleep in 6 months!  It's worth it though.  I just love having a baby.  And before you say anything, I already know the advice you all are about to give me here.  I do feed him solid food before he goes to bed.  Last night he ate a whole banana, and fully nursed before going to bed and he still woke up after 4 hours.  Kate was the same way though.  I just think these Watson kids have a fast metabolism or something because they are always hungry!!  I can't complain too much though.  Breastfeeding this hungry kid has basically given me permission to eat like a pig and not gain any weight.  Big perk.  BIG perk.

He's in his 6-9 month clothes now but is rapidly growing out of them.  This outfit I had him in for pictures is marked 12 months!  Time to go shopping again!

He has gotten really mobile lately.  He can roll both ways and scoot and it surprises me how far he can move in a little amount of time.  He grabs anything in his reach and puts it in his mouth.  I'm constantly scanning the floor for small objects. 

Lets see what else...he drools constantly, blows out of a diaper at least once every day, grabs my hair, scratches my face, he loves TV, oh and he squeals.  Not when he's crying, it's just a noise he makes.  It's a really high pitched squeal and it's really funny.

I just LOVE him.
