Sweet Diaper Dreams

6 Months

Our sweet Jack is 6 months old today!  He got BOTH his bottom teeth just in the last week.  He weighs in at 15lbs 5oz & is 25.25" tall.  He LOVES to smile and laugh and is very ticklish.  He thinks it soo funny when I pinch his little butt cheeks.  LOL

Here are some photos from today.....  you can see his two new teeth if you click on the closeup of the first photo.

Lots of Updates

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted any new pictures or updates.  It has been a crazy month here at the Becker household!  Our biggest news is that we are building a new house.  Our new home will be in Remington Estates, house number 803 Sako Drive.  We just signed the contract on it last Thursday and they will begin building as soon as possible.  It should be ready for us to move in the end of December.  We bought two adjoining lots and we will be putting a 2 car detached shop on one lot and the house with it's own 2 car on the other lot.  The house is 2800 sq ft. and has an unfinished basement, which we will be finishing on our own over the next year after we move in, as well as the landscaping.  I will be sure to post pictures of the homes progress as it is being built. We had our spec meeting today to go over some final details of the house.  He said he will be pouring the foundation by the end of next week!  We were sent home with lots of samples to pick colors for everything!  Ryan and I have been working really hard the last 2 weeks to get our house in near perfect condition to sell.  It looks amazing! We listed our home for sale just yesterday, and it was on the property tour today. I think it went pretty well.  We had 2 people call to look at the house already today. We are hoping that we can sell it fairly quickly, before the other home is done at least and that we can get what we are hoping to out of it.  Your prayers for a smooth sale of our home are much appreciated!

Jack will be 6 months old on the 15th - just a few more days.  We have not started him on any solid foods yet but I will be introducing them next week at a very slow pace.  Breastfeeding is still going great.  Jack got his very first tooth this week! One of his front bottom teeth, and I can see the other front bottom tooth is not too far behind.  At 5 months old Jack was 14lbs 15oz & 26" tall.  I will be weighing and measuring him again on Friday for his 6 month stats.   I am always excited to see how much he has grown.  He is in 6-9 month clothes.   He rolls from belly to back and back to belly and is getting better and better at keeping his balance while sitting.  He loves watching his big sister do things and he really enjoys jumping in the jumperoo.

Lydia is a VERY active 2.5 year old.  She is constantly learning new things, saying new things and learning to express herself in new ways.  She loves to sing, dance and playing pretend.  She is just now getting into Disney movies, before she refused to watch them.  Her favorites right now are Aristocats and Wall*E.  The picture below is her getting ready to go spend the day with Grandma & Grandpa Kennedy.  She also had her toe nails painted for the first time with Piggy Paints - bright green!
