Sleep walking

Kc's sleeping and Hank is practically walking. I am not a good writer and sometimes I just like to list things that have been happening in bullet form. 

-Hank started crawling, oh and then climbing up the first few stairs, and then standing everywhere with a hand for support. I thought I had a 6 1/2 month old but I guess he doesn't care what the books think he should be doing. 
- Hank loves to turn the Xbox on over and over because of the cool sounding beep, he uses it more than we have the past 4 busy months.
- Sometimes when I put Hank down for a nap I hear my blinds rustling, today I ran up to his room and he was standing in his crib holding back the curtain and strumming the blinds.
- Hank got his first tooth yesterday and it is sharp. 

The tooth


In the Bumbo a top our washing machine, he sits in there for maybe a minute but even less if I am trying to feed him baby food.

climbing everywhere and falling once in a while


Taking apart my shelves


So KC is a deep sleeper, and sometimes he will fall asleep on the couch. I have learned not to move him. A few times I have tried to get him to move to our bed instead of the couch. But recently since KC's been working full time he has said some weird stuff when I try to wake him up to move him. This is a conversation last week:

M: Kc I am going to bed are you coming upstairs to sleep? 
K: Hmm? 
M:Are you coming up?
K:Yeah (but no movement at all)
M: Come on...
K: Turtle..(random gibberish) my client, turtle shell, ..(random gibberish)
M: Turtle Shell? What are you talking about
K: My client uh um a ... turtle shell
M: Ok you are crazy come to bed

The next day I tell him what happened when he wonders why he is on the couch. Last night when this happened, I said turtle shell to him while he is unconsciously sleep talking and he starts laughing in his daze. So he understands stuff, he just has no recollection of these things when he wakes up.

On the move again

Last week we went to Monterey to meet up with some friends but also to help Josie and Eric move into their new place in Pacific Grove. It was fun to drive down to Monterrey and hangout in the beautiful weather all weekend.

A few days later we flew to Boise to visit my sister Emily and learn a little about their Chiropractic office. We had a great time hanging out, getting pointers at their office and babysitting their three kids. I forgot my camera which makes me so mad. It was my first time to go golfing with just Emily and it was a lot of fun. Hank was sick so he disturbed the family a little at night, but I am positive Emily is a baby whisperer. When we woke up on Mother's day and realized it was almost 10am I was stoked that he had slept for 5 hours straight. Sam, Drew and Shelby also brought me breakfast that my brother in law Jaren helped them make. When we babysat Kc and I took the kids to a school carnival, on a hike and to Dairy Queen. We had a great time and are so glad the Sayers let us come.

6 Months

Hank turned 6 months on the 29th of April. He is a very active kid that loves to suck on fabric but not really pacifiers. He loves to make noise but not babble. He smiles, blows bubbles with his spit and then sucks it back into his mouth. He is 18 lbs and 85th percentile in height. He likes it when you clap and has an amazing ability of grabbing your phone, hair and remote control. He has learned how to sit up and take almost crawl. Kc said he saw him do it, but no solid footage yet. 
 

 Hank waking up, happy

then confused
still has a hair swirl in the back

About to try to nose dive
Oh caught with the remote. It looks like he is going to say, "Mom the playoffs are on." Maybe a few more years until that actually happens.


Zoo

Kc loves Zoos, so we decided to go check out the San Diego Zoo while down south. Hank was looking all over the place as we drove around on the tour bus. 







Giraffes are one of my favorite animals and they had a one month old baby giraffe there.
Koalas- loved them ever since my 6th grade report on them

Quick Trip



Before Kc starts work we decided to go down south real quick to celebrate both our birthdays, visit Anne and Mike before they move and just take a break. On the way down we stayed at the Kirk Creek Campground in Big Sur. It was amazing. We only stayed for one night on our way, but when it gets warmer I would love to go back.
