Egg Hunt

We had our egg hunt for church this past Wednesday. Thor was so excited to open all the eggs and get the candy. I think he ate all the candy by bedtime that night!
Trig had fun hanging out and riding around in the stroller. Thor shared an egg with him, of course candy already eaten!

Train table project

Last year Thor started getting into Thomas the train stuff. At Christmas we bought him his first track kit. Ever since then we have been wanting to get him a train table. Well I looked at them on line and on Craig's List and they were just too expensive and of course too small. So Curry decided he could build one a lot bigger and cheaper. A few weeks ago him and John got all the supplies and painted it. Then last weekend they put it all together while I cleaned off the front screened in porch. Thor was helping daddy spread the glue for the 'grass' carpet. Then he helped screw in the screws.

As you can tell, Thor loved helping his daddy and loves his new train table.
After it was completely finished they started putting the track together. I think they stayed out there on the porch until almost 10:00 that night! Curry and I figured out that Thor's train is more than twice the size as store bought ones and it cost us a fourth of the price!

PULLING UP !?!?

I was cooking dinner tonight. Thor was playing outside and Trig was playing in the living room. I went to check on Trig and this is what I saw. Him standing at Thor's stool!! He has only been crawling for a week and he is already pulling up!! What am I going to do with this boy??!! He goes to the doctor on Wednesday, St. Patty's Day, for his 6 month check up which he will be 6 1/2 months already but that is when they could get us in. I'll update in a few days with all his stats. Here is a few: he can still wear some 3 month clothes! A tooth finally broke through a couple of days ago so he has some white showing. He has still had this awful cough and runny nose. We took him back to the doctor last week and they think it is lingering from the RSV from January and he may have some allergies so they put him on Claritin. We'll see if it works.

My Little Dish Washer!

Thor decided he was going to wash dishes one night! Get 'em clean buddy!

Crawling

I took these pics of him getting up and trying to crawl on Wednesday. He was 6 months and 1 day old. I got to thinking about it and Thor crawled the week he turned 7 months and walked at 11 months. So trig is a month ahead of Thor. I wonder if he will keep it up and walk at 10 months??!!!

As I create this post, it's Sunday, and just a few hours ago Trig was slowly making his way around the living room. Even made it under coffee table.

6 months

Doing better on posting for this month, he hasn't been 6 months for a week yet. ;) Some changes this past month: a few weeks ago I cut his hair. Trimmed up the front- it was hanging in his eyes, trimmed it up around the ears and on back. Two weeks ago at church, he got up on his knees for the first time. Ever since then he has been hard at work trying to figure out this crawling thing. He has also gotten a lot better at sitting up on his own for longer periods of time.

Brother Thor tickling him in the high chair!

Looks like I need to do some more trimming on the hair, looking a little long in this picture! But I thought his face was precious!

5 months

I know, I am a little late. Here are some 5 month pictures I took. Some of the biggest changes from 4 months to 5 months were: eating baby veggies for dinner, he really started reaching for and playing with toys, laughing a lot more-especially when tickled, and finally getting on somewhat of a schedule for eating and napping. And I think he started loosing some hair. :(
