January Pictures!!

Alden is 6 Months Old!! And on his 6 month birthday, he had his first real booboo with blood. It was scary. He busted his mouth between his lip and gums on the top falling on his activity table. But he's fine. Most days he likes to stand holding onto things and walk pushing the laundry basket down the hall! He had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday of this week, and she said he is perfect. He's 18 1/2 lbs and 27 1/2 inches long! We changed his formula yet again to normal Good Start Supreme to see if we can get him to stop puking so much. He's taking it fine, and I think he is spitting up less. During the last week he tried bananas mixed with rice cereal, and he absolutely loves it! I've shown him the sippy cup, and he kind of understands how to use it, though he doesn't yet. He sits up very well on his own now and loves to try to crawl. He can crawl now, but it's slow with lots of belly flops. However, I am shocked sometimes when I leave the room and come back to see how far he has traveled as an inchworm. He still loves Daddy's guitar playing and music like Pink Floyd, Deftones, and Tool. He pitches a fit at soft music. He loves car rides. He loves his rubber toy snake, mainly for teething. I think I feel a tooth about to cut through on the bottom! He has gone out to eat with us and some friends and family a few times lately. Alden does really well sitting up at the table in a high chair, eating and playing. We are so proud of all his progress and how much he growing up.

Mommy and Daddy have still been trying to work out. You can actually see Daddy's new shoulder muscles in one of the pictures of Alden. Joey has gained 10 lbs, and I have lost 10 lbs! Alden and Mommy have been helping Daddy some at his work and shopping at the Goodwill store for things to sell on eBay. Last weekend, Mommy and Daddy went mountain biking at Long Hunter, and it was a blast! Mommy really likes it!!!!! But, we now have a problem because we can't both go unless we have someone to watch Alden... phooey. So I guess Mommy will stay home most of the time unless we can find a babysitter. It was still fun though! Also, Mommy is looking for a job in a child care situation, part time or full time, so that Alden can be there, too. We could really use the extra money for savings and what not.

Well, that's the update on the Dail-Krapf family. Hope you all are enjoying your weekend!
