Cutler's 6 Month Pictures

I've been meaning to post this for quite some time. Susan and I took these pictures the 1st week in September.

His stats... He has 2 teeth on the bottom. At his 6 month check up he was 26 1/2 inches long and 17 lbs. 9 oz.

Working on it...

I have been putting this off to say the least... You get caught up in life and blogging takes a back seat. I keep meaning to update but then think... There is so much that I want to post and I don't have time for that. Well this week is going to be catch up week. So stay tuned... I'm crossing my fingers.

I got on the computer shortly after I put Shalon to bed at 9 pm. It is now 1 am... I must be crazy. This is why I haven't been on the computer. I got on my email. I normally check it with some frequency but haven't as of late. I had 50 messages in my inbox to go thru. Now that that's done and I have completely caught up on other's blogs I will attempt my own... tomorrow... Now I'm tired and Cutler is sure to get me up bright and early.

Journeyman Electrician

After 4 years of school and work Wes is done! He tested last Wednesday and is officially a journeyman. Good job! We love you!

Growing up

My baby is growing up soooo fast. Cutler turned 6 months old on August 22nd. He is so much fun. Shalon dances around him and he thinks she is the funniest thing ever and just giggles. They entertain each other.

I took him in for his 6 month check up. He got 3 shots and an oral vaccine. He was 26 1/2 inches long and 17 lbs 9 oz. To put this in perspective Shalon was only 19 1/2 lbs at a year old. He will soon be catching her becuase she's only 24 1/2 lbs now. However he is healthy and currently cutting teeth...

August 22nd

Cutler takes eating seriously

August 24th- The Dr.'s office

Shalon loves Shopping

I couldn't help taking this picture of Shalon after shopping one day. She loves going shopping. I guess the other day she was with Wes and they were driving past Walgreens and she said SHOPPING! Wes was like yep you go there with Mom but we aren't going shopping.

They have these carts at Albertson's and Safeway. Shalon loves them but they are so hard to drive because they are soooo long!

August 18th

I never ever do these but just to humor you Cindy I am. That and I should be in bed but Wes and Shalon are gone and Cutler is asleep so I keep delaying going to bed.

The Bill

I recieved the EOB from the insurance company the other day regarding Shalon's kleenex removal from her nose. I about fell over from sticker shock... The Dr's office charged the insurance company $394.00 Utterly ridiculous. I don't know how much of that I have to pay yet. I have to fill out paperwork like an accident report because they were charged so much or something... I should have asked for the "special tweezers" they used because I'm pretty sure they threw them away after they were used. I caught her stuffing kleenex up her nose again the other day, luckily I caught her in time and only had to get one piece out.
