daddy time and 6 month stats!!!

i know i have been really bad about blogging lately...but we have been just hanging out together not doing too much...i can't believe that mccoy is almost 7 months old!!! i totally forgot to post his 6 months statistics...he is doing great, he got three shots as well as his flu shot, and we went ahead and did the h1n1...he did well with all of them, but i probably won't ever do that many at once again...
weight...19lbs 1 oz...75th percentile
height...27 inches...75th percentile
he is enjoying sitting up and playing with his toys...he is still all about the bouncer...he definitely gets going in that thing...he likes the johnny jump up, but doesn't realize all of it's possibilities yet...he got a walker for xmas and he is just now able to move it about an inch on the very tips of his toes...he is enjoying books more and more, which makes me proud...he loves some food...so far, we have had cereal, zucchini, peas, and butternut squash...next, sweet potatoes, applesauce and pears...anyway, here are some cute pics of burt and mccoy... he loves to eat the books
this was very exciting for daddy and mccoy...
he seriously has such a long tongue...watch out gene simmons

here, he learned he could eat burt's hair
i promise i'll be better about blogging!!!

you think he eats much

mccoy loves his grub... we have done rice cereal, avocado and zucchini...the zucchini was a little tart for him at first, but each day gets better... for right now, i am steaming and pureeing his veggies, and it's actually pretty easy...i just make a batch and freeze half of it for later in the week...we'll see how long i keep this up...next up on the menu...peas, please!
(***another new post below***)


new bathtime routine

mccoy has moved to the big tub...unfortunately, burt and his knees have too! i'm sure we will work out the kinks soon, but for now, this works... he loves his bathtime...now he is able to kick the water in the tub...before, he was all cramped up in the sink!

look, mom, what i did!

it was a snowy day on sunday, and we missed the snow up here over christmas, so we decided to get out in it...mccoy was so proud of his snowman (okay, i might be exaggerating alittle...i don't even know if he knew it existed)

i love this picture!
i got a new camera for christmas...and i love using it and trying to figure it out...everything is so much clearer...he's even cuter now...thanks mom and dad!!!

merry christmas and a happy new year from the box family

happy new year 2010

our family photo at dinner...we decided on new year's eve to just spend it at home with our family...but after i finished feeding mccoy, we got antsy...we hadn't been out to eat in awhile and we never know exactly how mccoy will act...but we had such a wonderful time... mccoy is starting to enjoy sitting up in his carseat...as long as there is something to play with...also, notice the drool!

i think he is looking at all of our food!
he is definitely ready for some real food...more to come on that later!

christmas day

burt working on the walker...they never make baby stuff easy to put together...i'm working on the stockings
christmas morning...mccoy plays with his new walker...it was fun because no one else was up, so it was just us watching him get excited about a new toy with all the fun buttons and noise...
unfortunately, his feet don't quite touch the ground yet...it was so cute because he would lean forward and his little legs would go back like he was flying...
then he learned to hit it...
now, it is stocking time and onto our second outfit of the day...
new winter hat...it's alittle big but he's so cute...i don't think he knows what to think of it yet...
auntie b and baxter in their new snuggies
mccoy enjoying his wrapping paper in his third outfit (it is so easy to fly through clothes)...
stacking cups!

daddy helping him out
burt got the p90x for his big gift...mccoy and i can't wait to see him do this...i don't know if we'll laugh or feel sorry for him!
more jumping time
it is definitely getting late!

christmas eve fun

on christmas eve, mccoy got to hang out with his great grandmother...he thought her lap was rather comfy...we had such a wonderful evening...my mother, bridget, patrick, my aunt vicki and i went to church for the 5:30 service, while the boys stayed back and started dinner...it was a beautiful service, and mccoy did well...but we were all eager to get home and start the festivities... my cousin, jessica robin, and her daughter, indigo wren (10 1/2 months) loved playing around...she was so fascinated with mccoy...indigo also has the best little squeal...it makes you want to smile and laugh...

it was also cute that their outfits matched...that just happened by accident

great grandmother emily with the babies



that evening, we really worked on mccoy's sitting ability...it doesn't show it in this picture, but he learned to sit all by himself over christmas...he still wobbles from side to side but he sits up!!!



mccoy's christmas pajamas...i got these pjs at old navy, but burt thought the top was too girly, so i sewed a penguin onto the it...unfortunately, i put it too close to the top of the neck, so in every picture, the penguin's head is being smothered by mccoy's chin...

great grandmother emily getting one last hug goodnight...off to bed before santa comes!

playing with auntie b...there's the penguin!

the grandkids with grandmother!

what a wonderful christmas eve...more to come from christmas day...

new toy

we received the johnny jump up as a gift from a baby shower, but we just now busted it out during christmas...mccoy wasn't sure what to do in it...he kind of spun around and then kind of hopped, but eventually he loved it!
